[DAN00H]

good that so many of us own our skyines - I too had a lot of money disappering into cars only to loose out at the end of the day (damn finance....)

Buying the house is the way to go!!

[myR32]

nearly there on owning house and car (on same loan) i am just not going to think about how much money that will clear up each week (i think a holiday to the land of performance parts is next on the agenda!!)

[Guest Robo's]

100%

Getting a loan makes a lot of sense to me. I pay a small amount *compared to my income* monthly and it works out perfect for me. at the end of my loan, i'll get another loan & sell my car and get a new one, meaning i'll get a better car every x years. I plan to end up buying a r34 GTR.

Another shock is that Comm bank gave me my personal loan being 18 employed at my first job Casually *been working there only 2 weeks* & with no guarantor. My friends were quite surprised with the conditions that i got the loan, so was I.

I worked it out with my savings and possessions i could afford the loan anyway so the bank could always get their money back if i was to loose my job.

i own 10% woohoo

here is a new one. Novated lease. You can buy the line (has to be from a dealer though) and lease it every month through work which covers all petrol and repairs. The repayments ($540 per month) are taken out before tax which means for those of you into the 48c to the dollar mark only see a loss of around $250 month. Three years and you have the option to buy the car at residual or sell it (eg Residual on an R34 with an original purchase price of $30k is 12k which is less than market value) You can then buy it off the company (in my case government) for 12k and sell it for say 22k in 3 years time which recovers the majority of your outlay over the last 3 years. Basically everybody wins and you get a new car every 36 months. But you need to be earning into the 48c tax bracket for it to be worth doing

[05YKO_r33]

yes well i'm not quite in the financial position to make that option viable.

i have a car loan which is the only way i could get the car i wanted when i wanted it and i have paid back 69% in thirteen months and will own it in another 7 months at which point i will have a party like i do every time i pay a car off. :bananaman

[Qunto]

$6K loan for the engine rebuild!

[SeriesIIGTST]

I also own everything but the engine...well at least the cost of the engine rebuilt, plus new turbo = balance of original loan to purchase car!
