ITS F@CKIN HAPPENED AGAIN & I'M NOT F@CKIN HAPPY!

2weeks ago - Travelled 120 miles to lay down 2400 of my hard earn pounds 2 be told the car was sold 20 minutes ago

2day - About 2 do a 135 mile trip to get a mint 1.6Si on 17s an get told that it'll be gone in an hour - Somehow I didn't think I could do 135 miles in an hour!

I get the feeling I'm never gonna find my dream fez

Some1 help me, pls!

Tom, my friend, I had exactly the same problem when I was looking for an Si - they're bloody rare, and whenever one comes up for sale, it is sold within a day (in my experience).

Time after time, I rang up garages/car owners and was told the car had just been sold and it was doing my nut in. This continued for about 3 months, until on autotrader I found this delightful little ad:

1995 FIESTA 1.6 Si 3DR
95 M Met blue, PAS, E/W, S/R etc, superb, only 38k.

HAMNETT PAUL

Tel: ##### ######
Distance: 56 miles
Price: £2,495

So I rang him there and then and later that day I was £2,300 poorer

I know you won't want to, but consider different colours, they're all pretty nice

I know yeah, I've been lookin 4 about 6 weeks since I sold my old 1.
I'm in no rush to find a good one, apart from the fact its killin me not havin a car. I'm just gonna have to be a bit quicker next time!

Like you said, I seen this ad last friday:-

1995 FORD FIESTA 1.6 Si 3dr Hatchback 1995 N reg, Black. Petrol. 1 lady owner from new. Full service history. 17205 miles. £3000ono

I phoned up an sum1 was already lookin at it so I phoned back in an hour, guess what? SOLD!

[Gav]

lol, garage owners must love them - surely no other car sells as quickly? Sod Porsches - a whole dealership of 1.6 Sis would make one a fortune!

theres a actual garage in stevenage herts where there keep about 5 or 6 si's at once its where i got mine from!!

[TimEdwards]

in the autotrader magazine there are loads - most black too!

[tom_si]

I know yeah, I'm always looking at autotrader online but can't find many that have everything I want or are just too far away.

The other problem is all the good ones seem to get sold inside a day or two!

It's a little too far, I'm lookin at well over 200miles to Stevenage

I first started looking for my Si in January 1999, didn't find what I wanted until the October. I had every Autotrader, Exchange and Mart and Free Car Ads magazine for ten months. I even travelled over a 100 miles to be told it had been sold 10 minutes ago when I had no signal on my mobile. That was on my birthday and to make things worse, the damn car I'd gone to look at passed me on the way home. Keep looking, and don't settle for anything less than what you really want, it's worth it in the long run.
