O K !!! I found it hard to save 15k for my 180sx after workin since I was 15.5!!! Anyway... I would get an R34 GTR, check all the import magazines for prices. Going cheaper than before, but still expensive. An r34 will blow the clothes of any chick without even requiring a stereo! Good luck finding one, lucky bastard Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/23250-1st-car-r34/page/2/#findComment-498774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacho Vidal Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 70 grand in the bank and you want to go buy a very expensive first car) Sounds like fun but is also a stupid idea to spend that amount of cash on your first car. If you get a 34, do it up and insure it, youll pretty much have nothing left! Think where you'll be in 5-10 years, wicked car now, king amongst your mates, but nothing left later. Your most likely to crash your first car. Be smart and buy something nice but more sensible like an s13 or cheap R33, learn to drive it, and use the rest to buy a house/unit or something thats longterm sensible. Then youll be set! Not many 18 yr olds have an R34, but even less own realestate!

slip Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 40k for an R34 GTT, 30k left over for insurance etc. If you cant end up with a GTT and 20k something is very wrong. Guys, if you were 18 and had heaps of $, what would you do? Buy a 34 GTT thats what! Love it.

holdens_r_better Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Yeah i would prob get a GTT i love the GTR but i would prob kill it. And i would have no money. But unless u are still gonna have tons of money rollin in dont get a GTR or anythin too expensive just get somethin to learn in. That way if yo have an accident you wont be as pissed off Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/23250-1st-car-r34/page/2/#findComment-498899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreg01 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 an R43 as a first car would be great but its really a stupid idea. the chance of crashing your first car is very high and then you would end up with nothing. buy a silvia or 32,33 gtst and put the rest into shares or something.

redline2003 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 bak on the subject of power to weight rule in victoria, to me(and most skyline p platers) i dont even consider it a factor in chosing wat car to buy, if they threaten to take my licence ill move interstate , less revenue raising and i can drive a ferrari enzo if i chose to(or can afford it) lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/23250-1st-car-r34/page/2/#findComment-499137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
awill Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Yeah buy an s13 or r32-33 and play with that and hope you dont kill yourself. Put the rest on a unit and rent it out, if u can save 70k then u can afford to keep paying it off to im assuming, and then keep expanding . 1 vital point CARS DEPRECIATE, realestate in general doesnt. just my 2c an what id do, but i dont have that kinda $$ so no investment for me just an r32.

G0DF4Th3R Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 whuts wrong with a 70k car, if you can afford it then go for it..but if you only have 70k to your name, then buy something cheaper (R34 GTT) or even and R33 and keep the rest to insure / run the car and also to invest elsewhere.. when you purchase a car for 70k, it doesnt end there, rego, insurance, fuell bills, servicing and things breaking on you add up quite fast... that said, i was given 50k by my parents when i entered high school which was invested on my behalf and now at 20 i have some nice change hanging around. at 18 i possesed an apartment and several acres of land in my name which will only increase in value. having said that, i only buy 2nd hand cars with my own money as all it does is depreciate and the R33 is no exception. in abt a month or so, im going to sell the 'Line and open up 2 shops one of which is a cafe, im always on the lookout for investments and hope you think carefully before spending your 70k Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/23250-1st-car-r34/page/2/#findComment-499460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
