Migz Member 80 Member For: 18y 17d Posted 17/10/07 03:07 PM Share Posted 17/10/07 03:07 PM Sure is getting a few long responses to Mate im 20. I bought my car brand new in may when I was 19. That was $46k + some extras. + $2300 for insurance. What people say about them being a black hole is completely correct. ive owned this brand new car for 5 months First week I own it: gets bottled. 1 month after owning it: kids jump infront of the car I swerv and hit a tree doing 10k damage. 4 months after owning it: I get a flash tune. this = most amount of fun ive had in quite a few years.5 months after owning it: I blow my clutch up. literally. (see drive line section) so lets see. so far in 5 months. 46k + 3000 (defense package) 2300 (insurance) + 600 (excess on crash) + 3000 (new clutch and bits and peices) = 55k damage to my bank account in 5 months. You know what. Best f*cking waste of money I will prob ever spend :DAlso. I got finance throught ford credit. I got a lower percentage than bankwest would offer me. and bank west was saying they had the lowest % for car loans at the time. So it aint that bad. All I have to do now if knuckle down and pay my loan off. Now some of you may wonder why I even posted.( Im not sure either so dont worry.) It doesnt really tell you anything besides saying they are a huge black hole. which everybody older and (hopefully) more experienced understands. But there is a reason why we all love and waste our money on these things. They are fun. Pure and simple. Its a pleasure to drive. every time the boost kicks in. I get an unnatural grin on my face.But anyway. my conclusion = Have some f*cking fun with these things. its what they were made for.
