Hang in there mate, the right car will be out there somewhere I have been in your situ plenty times and rushed in and bought a car only to regret it a few days later, plus never look at cars for sale after you have just bought one, its sods law you will see one cheaper and better than the one you just bought

I sold what you wanted 14 months ago .... one owner, full history, not molested, average mileage (ie not low), sold in very quick time indeed and then I was swamped with enquiries.

That was over a year ago ... they are getting rarer by the month.

You are right to avoid molested models, add to that the Imports, I'm not sure that you should rule out a certain colour (if all else is right).

Patience is your best asset.

Well here's a little 'Import' i picked up last year, one owner from new in Japan completely standard with 57,000kms (34,000miles) on it:-








You'll need to double your budget to get one like this though
