Missed out on buying something??? Got angry?

Hey everyone
Interested to see how many ppl have actually got angry or frustrated when they have seen something for sale and would have done ANYTHING to get them.. Once u found out u've missed it, how did u vent ur anger...
The first car i was lookin at was a Mint white st162 sx 1988, with nice as sidekirts, painted extremities, and white lightning rims, it also had a short shifter. It was sellin for $4.7k, It took too long to get the racv ppl down and as a result i lost buying the car... I was tempted to buy it without racv but yeah it was first car and I like their work.
I WAS soooo frustrated
But i'm even happier with the car, the one i got was cheaper and more options

The trick is after buying a car, DO NOT look in the tradingpost after buying the car, because there is always something better, a mate bought a stock r32 gtst for 15k and the next week he looked in the tradingpost out of interests sake and saw, one 15k same colour but a heap more modofications worth 10k, all i can say is he nearly cried  .

I know of a guy who saw a car, liked it, put a deposit on it, sold his car over the next 3 days, then went to pick up the car a few days later, only to be told that she decided that she wanted to keep it, and gave him his deposit back.
So he was left without a car...
Yeah, he was pissed, for a bit, but found a better car, for a cheaper price a few weeks later.

Exact same thing happened to me, after I had been looking at mr2's for about 6 months. After hearing the news and hanging up the phone heavy hearted (and less my previous car that I also loved), I decided to call the little sob up. While being cool, calm and collected I began to question the legalities of taking a deposit and withdrawing a sale. The story ends with me driving around my much loved mr2 to this day.

You guys should get things put in writing... then it would be harder for a seller to put you in that position.

I think that was the thing that saved me, my written reciept for the money that was given to him.

its like when i got my soarer, don't get me wrong I really like it a lot, but after buying it I saw a gen 3 GZ20, manual, with the stock aero body kit and nice rims on it, for only about $1500 more
it also had less km on the clock (although i'm always a bit suspect about the odo on import cars)
but ah well, i'm very happy with my car, so it doesnt matter!

I just missed out on a 1997 JZA80 SZ-R, white, 18" white rays engineering rims, 2 x recaro buckets, body kit, alpine stereo gear & it was 6 spd! I rang up the day after it was advertised and was told it was sold, I was heading over to put a deposit on the bloody thing 
Only other SZ-R I can find is the same price, but stock

I almost bought an immac bare metal sprayed and rust free ae86 well over a year ago, but I had only just entered the market and didnt want to jump right into a deal. I belive simon on these forums ended up buying it or owning it at one stage.

hehe well I bought my car and took a risk by not waiting for the NRMA because I didn't want to miss out!
Never forget the motto from Burnout 3 on XBox, "Risk Equals Reward"
lol occasionally

I think the purchase of my car let a few people down but I did what Toobs suggested and put a deposit on it and got some contracts written down so that I had first dabs at it. Lets just say on the decision day I said yes and the owner had to let 3 other people know that it was sold.  Too bad, I love my car!
