i have been looking at buying a fun, cheap car over the past 2 weeks and am really struggling. i sold my z4 last week and want to replace it with something which looks nice, drives nice and has a bit of poke to boot. there are lots of cars for sale out there but nothing which ticks all the above.
the couple of cars that i have pursued at the right price, the first guy wasnt overly keen on getting a sale even when i said i would offer 100 pounds more than what he had been offered for it and was still mulling over (advertised for 2.5k and i offered 2.3k) and the second person i spoke to wasnt even sure if they wanted to sell theirs even though it was advertised, confusing me as it had no mot, road tax or v5 so wasnt exactly being used
the thing is i am not overly fussy on which car i go for as i have a list of about 5-10 different makes and model of car and my budget is good as the cars are all over 10 years old and nothing really special or rare. my only limitations are distance to some extent (not more than 2 hours away).
over the past few years i have bought a lot of cars and never had any issues finding exactly what i was after, i could sell my car one day and have a list of at least 5 cars to replace it with immediately. is anyone else is a similar position to me whereby they just cannot get what they are looking for at the moment and if they do, the seller is not so keen?
