hey man! im a chick and so i kinda faced similar probs to u but more so getn ripd off by carsales cuz im a chick...so i took my bro whos a expert on cars for da shpon...i ackted like i knew all...but when the car sales man went away my bro filled me in on which cars were worth the money....under the bonnet to.....and what price i could bring it down to...basiclaly i searched every australian internet site almost everyday for like 2 months searching for a then r33...to get a idea for prices for what model, year, mods etc. mines non turbo cus of the restriction and i bought it for 16k.
generally speaking if ur payn cash...well 18k is risky...bank transfer is beta....they pay for rego...i
nsurance...even for non turbo..i could only isure with jsut cars....thiere best.....cus for a full body kit...ata market exhaust...n a $1300 sound syste,...it only costs 100 bucks per year extra to insure.........so ur best doing it urself...they have a younger driver policy...but i pay 1500 per year n its non turbo..mostly standard.........
my parent gave me the loan. basically at 7.35% fxd ineterst...for 5 years... (i took out a 22,ooo loan) i pay 105 bucks a week......maybe put to ur parents it would sound better.... i think thats affordable esp if u earn 500 bucks a week and not prone to spill it........
i have 2 bank accounts. one bank account my wages go into it...and every friday nite (before i go out n spill it all! ) 105 bucks auto debit comes out for da loan and 140 bucks goes into da oder account for savings............so u can save for parts n crap esp if u have a accidetn and u have to fork up 1000 in excess, rego, modsetc......
v.i.p automotive solutison did a check on my car...dats to make sure its not actualy 2 cars soldrerd onto each other..and that it hasnt been thrashd... they can also neogotiate u da price.....
but if u can bring it down 2-3 grand incl rego ur beta doing itsurelf...depends if ur prepaired to 'walk away' and not believe them when dey say da car is going to be bought by another person...cus truth being...da car will still be there in 2 months time. tel:0500 555 227 (vic) www.vipinspections.com
if u have any fwds that are fully into da import thing ur beta takn them rather than gong urself.....not act like u in love wit da car...just act like its 'okay' n dat ur kinda interseted...but uve seen beta pride 4 it........cars sales men are smart...uve gotta outsmart them.
i bought my car from jsa imports. featurred in hpi mags....they have vip thing dat comes wit the car......afta market parts n all....laws are getn stricted n all carsales men wodnt seell u da car unless it was fully complianced...its part of the car price..
regrdsless if u pay them cash...at da end of da day if they dont delcare..n r wiling to take cash to not declare...it means theyre dishonest to da govenrment....n if there dishonest to da government whats gona stop them from doing that to u???
oh n to ensure it aginst theft u need a 1.5? point immobilser n alarm...so dats bout 200-400bucks....so try n get the car wit one...
i want a turbo....gtr!!! but i dont know much bout cars ider...thats why i got a non turbo....im gona do a mechnaics couse before i get a gtr...becuase they need regualar fixn...tuning etc.......u first need to be prepared to spend dosh...ebcuase if u cant fix things urself then u gotta pay to get them done.
wat was suggested to me was..."if ur not gona fiddle round wit it get a non turbo"...n mines a daily driver....so til then im learning bout the car to be prepoared for my gtr cus i wana ustomize it to me.....its up to u n how much u earn...thyere a beautiful ride...very sexy cars i think!!!!
how much ks has the 18.5k one done??? stock standard? mods??year??
hope this is helpful
