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

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!

15k is all he gave you i have been savin ever since i could work and i dont have 60k. I think there is somfin ur not tellin us lol

Yeah, listen to Dark the 16 year old.. you and him might have something in common

[Parag0n]

Same, I've had a job since I was 15 and Im turning 17 now, all I have is $6,200...

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]

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

i had a r33 at 15... and i sold it even before i was 16..

[Dreg01]

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.

[Soulja]

why spend 70K on your 1st car? go buy yourself a r_33 Gts_t cost you around 20 or 25k for a good Spec_M s_II, and invest the rest is something which will make you 70k Every YEAR!!!

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

[awill]

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.

Lol would be good if you could convert it from left hand drive it cant be done i heard

[Soulja]

holdens_r_better, im pretty sure each ferrari is custum made, and if not i think if u pay 1million for the enzo im pretty sure u will have the money 2 get someone 2 do it 4 u

[NuGGeT]

far out this kids rolling in it, may i ask where u work? cause i'm in the wrong job!

70k first car mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

when ya think about it most people would never spend 70k on any car in there whole life, yet alone on a bonga first car

[Soulja]

wat i don't get how the hell did u save that money? i spend most of my money on food and my gf. I make about $100 part-time, and at the end of the yr i should make around $3,500 but i unsally only have around $60 in my bank at the end of the yr hahahah

[redline2003]

i heard ferrari do custom make their cars to suit the buyer ie RHD etc. the enzos cost close to 1.8 million i think and i hear they rnt drivable on australian road......any one got any facts?

yeah, what he said

i'm finding it hard to believe this thread isn't bullshit...but good luck to you max.89 if you're for real

[G0DF4Th3R]

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
