Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 6m 22d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 28/11/12 03:18 AM Share Posted 28/11/12 03:18 AM Yeah mate.. I'd follow the suggestion above.. Put it in the garage.. And see how bad your withdrawal is..Even if you do miss the car a bit.. Is it worth the insurance and rego for something you drive occasionally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take pressure off of finances now it will benefit your chances of being better off in the future, therefor your 'treasury department' may be a little more lenient on future purchases. Especially if she (oops, they) realizes that you have made a significant sacrifice for your future. Although I'd never let her forget it!!

I think I'll keep the G6 in the garage for a couple of months and see if I miss it by not driving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 4m 4d Posted 28/11/12 08:11 AM Share Posted 28/11/12 08:11 AM Something else to add on the cost of keeping it is in the interest on the mortgage that you'll save from putting the money from the car onto it.So you got~$1000p/a insurance~$1200p/a rego~$1800 (saved on mortgage assuming $30k for car @6% interest on mortgage)Tell the mrs that if she lets you sell the car and put the money on the mortgage, you'll save approx $4k a year. $4k a year over the next 5 years goes a long way towards a new toy to play with in the future.Now that's logic speaking, but after seeing the build on this car through the forum, its come a long way and would be hard to let go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
