Anyone else pulled up to view a car and at first glance you know you're going to buy it?

Yes - my E39 530i. Which is probably the attitude one shouldn’t have when buying an old E39.

Although in my defence I did then think “if it doesn’t shimmy and the A/C works, I’ll buy it”

Same as me, totally wrong but after all this time I still do it.

I'm sure I must have. I know for sure I've done it more than once buying cheap cars some distance away. 1 way ticket.

Far too many of them, I’ve bought some absolutely crappy cars over the years because of that “must have this one!” impulse laugh

Pretty much every car I go to view..... I've already picked it out as a possible purchase. So when I arrive and all wheels and doors are present I must have it!

I don't often idly view cars. If it's a dog I walk away in most other circumstances I buy it.
