You'll get something very decent for 25k. In the past couple months the odd TB-Sti have come up for that price range.

There are several decent looking gtb's atm too on carsales :)

Fingers crossed mate.

The only downside to alot of them on carsales is that the ones I have seen have had flaws, some more than others
It gets a little frustrating when people say its "immaculate" though when you have a look at it (and spend 45-1hr travelling), it has had panels repaired, replaced engines, other parts of the body damaged etc that were never mentioned

The sooner I find one the better, but I wont rush into buying something if im not 100%

Apparently.
3 sellers have said the similar thing at around the 20k mark

Sounds like some must have been made on a Friday or at the Ford factory

If the right vehicle is available for the right price, I can view tonight and pay in full as soon as RWC is done :D

Its very hard these day the find a car that hasnt had a repair at a panelshop of some kind. Most things can be rectified very quickly and easily so dont be offput by a minor detail on a previous repair. I flew to Sydney for mine and found out the carpet had a common wear mark, broken mirror and numerous dints. I hassled the guy over it and got coin taken off the price. All items easily fixed...well maybe except the carpet :D but that can be changed and a couple of hours which I will be doing.

I agree that it is hard to find a car a few years old without any panel repair but the issue is the cars I have looked at have had major repairs which were never disclosed. Coming from an insurance background I can spot these a mile away.

I dont mind travelling for the right car, but hate being stuffed around
