Frustration when you find just what you want but don't have the cash

I've been looking for ages for a larger trailer for the Astro gear. One that will accomodate everything + all of the camping gear the 12v fridge, etc.

Ideally I wanted a fully enclosed tandem, but they are soooo expensive. An 8x5 fully enclosed tandem is around the $5k to $6k mark 2nd hand.
An 8x5 is probably a little small to fit everything comfortably, but bigger ones are just rediculously expensive.

Today was browsing & saw this. http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automo...745274?AdOnTop=

It's still $5.5k, but it's HUGE. Exactly what I want. This size & type of trailer are typically upwards of $10k 2nd hand. This one is an absolute bargain!!!!

But alas, I don't have the available cash right now..

I'll just have to wait until another bargain comes along.....

I know how you feel Bryan

Nothing worse than finding that perfect bargain and not having the free cash to get it.

Yes there is ..having the dam cash at the wrong time when one of these "bargains" present...thats how I ended up with a leaky boat that drains all my time and cash
Only cost 5k but it needs 20k that I wouldnt throw at it..if I had it.

It's probably worth the money but there is still more to spend. It only has manual override cable brakes. We have them at work at they are a pain where you don't want it. I could write a short novel about the problems we've had. If he could get the money our field gear tech would change to electric in a heartbeat. A private owner who stays on the black stuff will have fewer issues but I suspect you wouldn't be happy with them.

I have the problem with no available cash all the time. Maybe I should stop reading the IIS classifieds.

I have had no car for nearly a month
It is hard trying to find $2750.00 for a motor, then you find when you have the money they have already sold the motor

Cheers
