Yep I know what you are saying. This forum is a other avenue which need to be looked at and you never know what may come without having a go.
For the right one I will be very hard to out bid and if I am it is the seller who wins and every other sandman owner who can watch their car appreciating in value due to what people are prepared to pay.
I think a bargain is most likely to be something you don't mind if its a bit rough and leave it like that or it could be someone elses mess, but the bargain certainly evaporates once you start on a resto
My Hq GTS has cost me over 60k (10k buy price) and still counting but I don,t mind too much because I like the colour combo of March the 17th with a flax interior
