Used car shopping blues

Well, ive been reluctant to believe all the hype and hysteria about the lack of available cars out there but it seems to be true at some level. A local multi brand car dealer was on the radio this AM saying his three locations are sold out for 2 months going forward. I have been searching used for well over a year with meager results, however I am firm as to the color, has to have sun/moon roof, nav is a plus..and manual box required. These specifics really make it difficult. I am shopping 4 or 5 models and sure theyre out there...but your going to pay about 25% more than 2 years ago, and I think you'll get laughed at if you try to dicker. Saabs demise really threw a wrench in my driving pleasure category. I just can't bring myself to take the risk of parts availability issues and a mechanic that might refuse to work on it when needed. Ive never bought a car that I couldnt drive home, but now I'm considering a larger radius market and the possibility of the hassle of the long trip to have a look, and then having it trucked home. So far there have been three that I found on a weekday, and planned to look at on a Saturday, called on a Friday to verify...too late,,,theyre sold ! ugh.
