Angry This is Why I Hate Saving...

... Because something like this inevitably comes along to tempt you.

http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/3439335.htm

Has to be one of the nicest (cleanest) Imprezas I've seen in a long time, and exactly the model and age I'd be after. Got my Focus (an '04 plate) early in '09, so now, 3 years later, I'd be moving up to something better and only 5 years old again.

Would definitely be on the phone if I could spare the money.

Some of you might as well get the benefit of it instead.

Lovely looking car, seems a bit on the expensive side I'd say, just going off a few I've seen sell recently both in here and pistonheads.. Not 5 minutes after owning it you'll be modding it then the serious spending starts so the cheaper the better lol

If you are saving, and not in the market, why look?

If GK is anything like me then even though he's saving he can't help but look. I flick through PH at least once a week.

I've got another 12 months or so before I can realistically buy another scoob - unless I get an attack of the sensibles I buy something boring

I'm also quite attached to my Jeep and I haven't got room for both

Probably because, at heart, he's a petrol-head. Its a complete pain in the **** being one of those when you're trying your best to resist it and do something sensible with your money.

Those pistonheads classifieds are always there sitting on your shoulder....tempting you

Don't worry. They'll continue to come up. I got the same car in silver with 20k on the clock a few months ago and for less money. So keep on waiting and something as good, if not better will come by.

The front seats on that car look the same as my old WRX MY03. Also, have you noticed a million extra STI stickers all over the car.
