Ever hate wanting a car so specific, that you cant find it?
Discussion
Im in this quandry at the moment.
Looking for an E90 estate 330d auto, less than 5 years old, less than 60k, white/silver/grey, xenons and iDrive, for less than £17k.
Cant find one anywhere
I sometimes wish i didnt care about cars and could just go out and buy a cheap poverty spec focus.

I get this all the time, which is probably why I've not bought all that many expensive vehicles. As finding the "right" one is always so hard.Looking for an E90 330d auto, less than 5 years old, less than 60k, white/silver/grey, xenons and iDrive, for less than £17k.

Currently I'm on the lookout for a Disco3, but I want one with the rear e-diff. I'm fairly easy going on the other points, although prefer not black and would like a light coloured interior.
Suspect this may take a while to find one in budget.

Forgot to add, looking for the estate 
Drives Me mad too. I'm currently on the lookout for a 1970 - 1973 Rover P6 2000SC or TC thats in very good order and not in a hideous colour. I have the money put aside to buy one, but now I have they have stopped cropping up on classic websites.
Before I had the cash there seemed to be a different one for sale every week!!

The problem I have looking for cars is that I decide on the make and model I want, you then start looking into that and come across special additions, optional extras etc. I can then not just settle for the standard car anymore and finding the special addition is twice as hard as before. That is when I give up and start looking for another make and model and the problem starts again. Its a never ending circle!
Tell you what's worse. Not buying said car when it does come up. Probably because it's a bit expensive, then it sells (even though you think it's expensive) and you spend the next few years rewriting history in some kind of denial.
Or, along similar lines, selling something, then regretting it and not being able to replace.
Have T-shirts for both scenarios.

Yes.
D3 A8, 6.0 W12, under 80000 miles, 2 owners at most, cream interior, decent history, full working electrics, no tacky wideboy wheels/aftermarket stereo/remaps/limo tints.
Under £9k.
More chance of getting those 6 numbers (and then I could buy a new one...).

Why restrict yourself with the mileage and age? Condition and service history counts for more doesn't it? Looking for an E90 estate 330d auto, less than 5 years old, less than 60k, white/silver/grey, xenons and iDrive, for less than £17k.

I'd agree most of the time. But less than 5yrs in this case will see OP in an LCI car which I'm assuming is the requirement. I could understand that (not that it'd bother me - I'm too poor to be fussy)Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
