It's not a wise idea to get the turbo on your p's mate, insurance being the major issue I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have more to lose than gain by getting it now. Just wait the extra 12 months, you'll be able to get a better model with the extra cash you save as well.

As I only use the car to go 2 and from work and dont do anything dumb, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best decision I've made, feels a lot better driving it when you don't have to look over your shoulder every 5 seconds.Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit a power pole and the entire $50,000 repair bill will be yours to pay. Just food for thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
