Dude, your 17, go earn some money, get your ass into a real job, stop being a bum. Go back to school or go back to tafe and catch the freakin bus!
Don't loan money for your first car cos you'll probably bin it anyway doing stupid sh*t and end up on the news as another statistic and make us look bad. Don't get a turbo import, let alone an import as your first car either. You'll bitch and whine about insurance just as the other young ones do on here, get a bunky, get full comp insurance, get at least 40% no claim before you even decide to look at an import.
If you don't even have a job, how do you expect to pay for fuel/servicing/insurance/running costs? Oh, wait, You'll be able to GET a job with a car? SIF! Get a job FIRST you lazy bum, catch the bus to work like we all did.
And don't for one minute think that Youth Allowance is going to give you what you need to run a car like this. No, wait hold up, good luck moving outta home for the next 8938493 years if your only earning 20k/year and running a car like this.
Stop dreaming kid.
Sorry dude, but it's harsh reality with these cars, ask people on here how much their car has "cost" them (apart from the purchase price) I'm talking Total cost of ownership here compared to what they initially thought when they bought the car.
