I can`t really think of a way you could say "Bob wants to buy a car" using ほしい.

Ahh, i get it. Thanks Nyororin and Yuriyuri. I had only one class on this structure and I must have confused it up at some point afterwards. I mostly stick to たい and くれる all the time so I've hardly used it. Can you say 〜てくれたい？or is that strictly what ほしい is for.
