Sorry i gotta whine a bit...SPG almost-purchase bummer

Man. I've been looking to supplement/replace my '90 base with an SPG. I've spent years w/ the 900's and its time to treat myself. Finally found a local seller who had a '90 red w/ 90K miles, original owner - and he wanted a fair price! That's like the dream combo! I've been the second caller to a bunch of SPG's now and have missed out each time. So many of these cars are beat. I was first w/ this guy and he promised me I'd be the first to see it when he got back to town (bad sign - place an ad, then go on vacation). He didn't know when he'd be back (bad sign #2) but would call me(#3 don't trust anyone). I left all numbers and name and even interrupted his vacation to remind him. Well he didn't call for a week, and when I called yesterday, he had just sold it - his words.."I thought he was you, I'm really sorry". I can't believe it! He had all my information! It's so hard to be the first in line...and then you still get screwed. Saabnet's classified are a great resource, but for a high demand vehicle marketed to an enthusiast crowd, the prices seem to reflect more of the emotional value than the cars worth. Alas, the search continues. I feel a little better now, a little. My apologies for the rant. Anyone have any fortunate experiences to share? Or what they settled for and "improved"?
