Im On My P's, What Car Should I Get?

[Dillz]

Bugga that, buy a junker.. Your gonna hit sh*t.

XR09 has given you the best advice that can possibly be given to any teenager in Australia.

Unfortunately, those that have the opportunity are to stupid to do it.

Which one are you?

PS. Who chose the overseas option and still manages to own a XR6T in his old age. (Went for a Porsche 911 in my youth, then a Falcon GT, I consider that the XR6T is the first decent car Ford has built since the heydays of the GT's.

Don't listen to Henz!!! Save your cash until you are 21 at least... Buy a house and set yourself up...

There's always time to have a fast car! Until then... Become friends with blokes who have them! LOL

[ppdxr6t]

Hey man, I would have to agree with worm, set yourself up first and then worry about playing around with fast cars. I'm only 28 and don't mean to sound old and boring, but If I had my time again that's what I would do. I have had plenty of fast cars and wasted plenty of cash on them... would be well over $100,000 no sh*t! Now I'm still setting myself up and have kids. Or like others have mentioned, travel that's something else I would have liked to do.

At the end of the day mate its your choice though

I'm with all theses Guy's, set yourself up first. Bought my first house at 21 and bought a $5000 VL that lasted a hard 10 years without any problems, now at 30 went out and paid cash for my first T and now started modding.

Sounds like you have your head on right and have saved some money, put it into a house first, then later buy your dream car.

My 2c.

Travel the world, forget the car. Now is the best time of your life to do this. You will never have less overheads or responsibilities than you do now. at your age you are eligible for work visas anywhere. Once you get a bit older these opportunities will pass you by. The experience will live with you for a lifetime.

You have the rest of your life to get into debt paying off a house and cars will always be there and they only get better and faster.

You can't take it with you, so just get out and live!

I'm probably the youngest bloke to buy a house onthis site.

Id go with what most here have said "Buy a house or get out and see the world while you can ! " I myself am on my green P's and drive a BA XR6 Turbo , but I have had my green P's for 8+ years and am exempt from the no turbo on your p's law (im probally one of the only drivers on there P's that legally drives a XR6 Turbo ! ) personally id do it differntly if I could turn back time I have thrown WAY too much money into past cars and always kick myself when it comes time to sell !

[Gloo]

You can still buy and a house and have nice cars. A turbo cost f*ck all these days. Buy one, then buy a house. I bout my house 12 months after I bought my car, so at 19 I was set. Learn to save. It's not hard. I will own both my car and my house by the time in 28. My house is currently worth easy 300k. As far as I see it you have 2 options, go into debt or go around the world.
