Do you guys advise getting a 20k loan if its possible? My parents are pretty well off I guess and they know damn well I want a line so I was thinking maybe 10k bank 10k parents since no interest on parents loan.

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. :P

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 ?

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.

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... :P

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!

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

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. :)

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
