How'd you pay for it?

[KamikazeR33]

just lookin at mine makes myself feel very happy that i bought it

even tho ppl say that there was not point buying it if u cant drive it... the point is that U own it

[InExtremis]

I agree with that. If I had a line in my garage just looking at it would make me go queezy. Im also glad to hear that you have no regret, and that you know you have made the right choice.

[KamikazeR33]

yep i know ive made the right choice

btw my mate owns a 94 gtst he paid 18k for it

he had like 8 k saved up and got the rest of loan no probs

he works 20 hrs a week

hes on these forums 2

[InExtremis]

Sounds like he's doing alright.

Seems like quite a few people go for loans and no-one seems to have any complaints. Like I said b4, maybe I can get my parents to pay half or just under and pay for the rest myself and getting a loan. See how it goes anyway.

[KamikazeR33]

goodluck dude

u will know its all worth it when u finally get it

If you can do that, then I'd go for it! Having half your loan interest free would be a HUGE bonus!

Your parents might have to go guarantor on the bank half also, if you have no proven savings record, or no credit rating...

Hey cheers 33Spec2,

Good to see a local.

I take it your very happy with your car. 40 Hours a week and 2 jobs, man thats some serious work, you deserve what you've got, I couldnt stand 20 hours a week at McDonalds!

So you think I should import? I guess I will have to look at all my options as soon as Ive put together enough money. Did you pay for all of it yourself?

Ive been constantly warned about insurance from my father and also on this site, though I expected it to be astronomical. Pity so many young people are getting themselves killed (like an old school mate of mine just south of Perth Friday night, you might have seen it on the news). Anyway, I hope I can join the 'skyline owners club' fairly soon.

OMG.

Look at all the n00b's wanting a skyline. Awesome!

For interests sake I'm 20, getting SECURED finance for a skyline is a pain in the ass, so here's my advice: Don't try, just get a savings history and you'll be right.

I've got a question for you's. Who here bought thier line with an unsecured personal loan ? and from what bank ?

[Sumo]

I had the option of buying my unsecure with Defence Credit Union. But In the end I just saved..

After I finished school I went straight to uni full time. I had never worked until I was 19, but in the 3 years after getting my first job, I saved up $40,000.

To do it:

Worked 20+ hours per week during uni

Worked 40+ hours per week every holidats

Lived at home

Didn't waste money on alcohol/smoking

Then just after I finished uni, but before I started full time work, I borrowed another $40,000 and bought my car. (Didn't want to liquidate my investments). Currently paying $400 per week.

That's my bank! I do all my baning with DefCredit - they are good!

[InExtremis]

SO basically, as long as your saving, there is nothing wrong with a bank loan? I just think its good to ask ppl who have done all this b4 and are actively paying/paid the money back.

n00b Strich9ine? Maybe to owning a skyline I guess.

i worked 6days a week sometimes 7days a week, after one year i had enough to buy what ever i wanted so i paid cash for a r33 gtst. after my vl v8 blew apart

btw im still 18.

all you have to do is work hard

this is what i have on me today

[Baron Bohr]

HAhaha...

When I bought my car the guy wouldn't accept a check unless it was a bank cheque (being a credit union my bank couldn't do that) so I had to pay $40,000+ in cash...

So much the federal police were checking up on why I was withdrawing that much from the bank and I cleaned out all the cash that that branch had for the day!

400+ $100 bills!

[Ash]

HAHAHA!!!! i will have to pay $25000 in cash i will take a photo of it

[InExtremis]

Yeh id take a photo, then one of my line and compare.

The other day I was carrying $3000 and I felt like every old granny that waslked past was gonna mug me. Never been so paranoid in my life. But $40000!!

And a5h, $25000 ..!

man ... get an escort or something.
