Why is it so difficult to buy a car?

So the story from the top.

3 weeks ago, I thought I'd have a clean up round the house as it was my day off from work and the missus was in Paris. I thought it would be a nice suprize for when she gets home.

So I loaded all the recycling into the nova and went on my way to the recycling place. On the return leg some numpty decides to overtake me on cross hatching at silly speeds. Then proceeds to lose control right in front of me and spin out. I had no where to go but into his drivers door, nice :mad:

I managed to get a fairly speedy payout out. It took just over a week in total. A result I thought. So I have the cash ready in the bank. I've just got to source something else (with just as much character). No worries I thought. Well I was wrong. Three weeks on and still nothing has come up. So far I've missed out on 2.5 V6 mk2 astra GTE. I've looked at a redtop nova, which was mighty rotten.

I think I'm going mad (or gay) as I've started looking at MX-5's!

HELP!

I'm about to put a rover up for sale :thumb:

Great so my options are gay or old before my time lol I'm only 26

The shame :eek: But I agree lol

Fix the nova !

And spend the extra money on something nice

Tbf its probobly do-able. There is tears around the strut top in the engine bay and inside the arch. The battery tray is torn and the drivers door doesn't open due to it catching on the wing. I think its tainted now though.

Is it a proper GTE ?

Dont scrap it :(

Yeh its a proper GTE :) or was a proper GTE!

Won't it need jigging due to the damage to the strut mount?
