Mate, when I wanted mine I trapsed all over the fookin country to find a goodun. Everything I viewed around the £2k mark was a complete dog. I made a trip to south Wales to view a car that was described as mint with 200bhp and when I got there I found a snot box with 11psi and a paint job that looked like it had been done by a drunk Albanian.
Must have viewed 20 cars or near damn it. Unless my standards are too high and others are happy with lemons, I don't know
