My Stagea Dream Shattered

[sleeper393]

My dream of purchasing a m35 has been shattered , my funds lost due to incorrect info from stock broker , now iv'e tried to go for a loan , found out i have a black mark on my credit list due to some unwise ventures years ago in my younger days , as financers dont want to fund grey imports , and the ones that do see the black mark and back off, even though i earn good money , still no go, so it has to be an aust delivery vehicle , or zip , SUBARU LIBERTY GT WAGON ????? , KINDLY SEND A $2 DONATION TO HELP UNDER PRIVLAGED NON STAGEA OWNER , HELP FIGHT THIS ABOMANATION ON SOCIETY . LOL.

Sucks to hear that mate, finance companies are pretty blinkered when it comes to imports. Their thinking is that if most major insurers won't touch imports, there's gotta be a reason for that. How long ago was the mark against your name left? I think they expire after 7 years?

I got my loan from commbank just tell them its for a reno's or something else get an unsecured personal loan not a car loan that way u dont have to tell em your even buying an import

not good champ, i had a similar problem fixed it with a unsecured personal loan from westpac. they gave me the cash and then i went and found a car within my limit. then payed out the car loan with a home loan lol.... now i own the car!

u'll find a bank will be more then willing to help you if you're already a customer, and they can see all of your info infront of them.

can you just save hard and buy the car outright?

[sleeper393]

save is an option , but with 2 teenage daughters , FARK !!!, THEY BLEED YOU DRY, went to my bank ,nab zip , as i said no worries for aust delivered car , just not a grey, so subaru here i come !!! i was originally going to buy a sub liberty gt wagon , until i saw the stagea nm35 , and thought value for money , awd , small cap engine = lower fuel consumption , theoretically , turbo , leather , etc , etc, BUUUUT , NOW have to go back to first option , still a good car the sub , but hey when compared to the stag , chalk & cheese ! any other cars that fit my criteriour you guy's can think of , eg , awd , turbo , aust delivery , jack shit from my field of view.

[iamhe77]

or an XR6T

[iamhe77]

XR6T in AWD???

You mean the turbo Territory?

Yeah, my wife wants one of them... bit big though (especially since she wants to sell her Magna because of the size).

get the mrs a golf or mini!!!

why not rwd?

with 2 teenage daughters

Pity your not in SA. Cheffstagea and I would be more than happy to let you borrow a stag if you would introduce us..... haha!

on that topic, another good thing with having a stag, being a younger driver 18/19 I think when I do drive people places or go to chicks houses and their parents see my car i don

't get that skyline image thrown at me and no you cant drive with him that things to fast ect ect..

[southern_tango]

Yep ,trying to save is hard...to buymine we left a lot of staff apart(BTW my wife is really good saving when she focus on something)but yep...mortgage ,family,and all the probs around,hope you can find a way to get yourself in a stag ...good luck...

[iamhe77]

get the mrs a golf or mini!!!

why not rwd?

Hmmm, Golf would be cool as would a mini... Service costs and vehicle price are downers though (No. She does not like the old mini's )

Also needs to have a bit of grunt (she is bored with the 165kw from the Magna )

Gotta have 4 doors and be smallish car (she loved her Mirage)

Why not rwd?

Since Alan put AWD ahead of all other preferences I figure it is pretty high on his list...

[_Ryan_]

WRX for the mrs... or an Evo

--------

good point haha

[JC807]

forester XT? we were almost set on one until we realised how small a boot they have.

still 0-100 in 6 seconds is quick, manual tranny. the auto is 7.8 for 0-100.

I sort of have the same problem, except I allready have my Stagea. Since my turbo died I tried going to the bank to extend my loan amount but now that I am casual not fulltime they wouldn't do it for me. Savings a bitch to since, I was unemployed for 2 months and got to get ourselves back on track with bills. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope you can work something out to get your car.
