if basti doesn't think he can move out and afford his car that's his business, I doubt he gives a f**k if you can do it or think it's easy.
I could afford to keep my car, but I chose to sell it and have an extra $25k to put towards a deposit straight away, as well as wiping out expenses like 2 x rego, tires, mods etc etc etc etc etc
It's not the end of the world. In the long run I'll come out miles in front.
