Default lost out on yet another classic!!! losing hope.

well what can i say, spend everyday on pistonheads/autotrader etc looking for the right car, last night a nice silver classic went on pistonheads, been on for 1 hour, was about 10 o clock last night, couple of hours drive away, full subaru history, 64k, last owner 6 years, andy forest hybrid td04, andy f remap, full hayward and scott, whiteline goodies, etc etc, called first thing in morning, im working till 5, wouldnt get up to see it until late tonight and would be dark, boy text me, guy coming to see it, just got text, car sold. tbh im gutted and pissed off looking now, nice classics are getting bought in a matter of hours, thought everbody was skint!!!! why did i sell my old classic then to make it worse i get stuck behind a nice dbm classic picking up the wife. once u get the scooby bug u just cant shake it, i keep going back

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time of it. I know how you feel. I was in your position not long ago, I would find a good example and by the time we were about to go and view it would get snapped up just in front of me.
You will find one sooner or later, best to get a good one that just to get one fast.

I know how you feel. I made a decision that if the deal didn't go through on the car I finally bought I was going to take break for a bit.

Fortunately I did manage to get the car and its one that I had like for some time. Only had it just over 24 hours and its flippin great Its a mapped WRX RA but its the fastest Impreza I've driven (Mapped UK turbo, V4 Type R and a P1)
