Keep watching them, if they dont sell e-mail the seller and make them an offer.
Another option is to use a different donor. Maybe a BMW?

Try www.adtrader.co.uk thats where I have just bought My xr4x4 from in renfrewshire, and I know the feeling I was begining to lose the
will to live watching ebay for cars- £300-400 quid for an absolute piece of scrap,unbelieveable, but I got mine mot'd till november 08 and taxed
till end of april for £270 on adtrader and it was just round the corner not in the middle of wales.

You'll struggle to pick up any sierra in central scotland for under £250. They are the car of choice for most pro stock racers and the national
saloon stock guys use them for pretty much all of their running gear ie. diffs, wishbones, drive shafts, steering racks, struts, steering arms etc.
Any that come up in the low hundreds of pounds are snapped up. Remember after stripping all the usefull parts they are still making around £80 in the
crusher.
