Well guys, this is my new car, till about 1-1.5 months ago, i was driving a 2003 Subaru Liberty, had wrx 17's on it, lowered with a big bass system. In January i got off my p-plates and was on the hunt for the right car.
Looked at Mazda 6 MPS's, 200sx's, couple WRX's (insurance threw me off), even thought of something trippy like a jeep wrangler or even an Audi a4, and the whole time in the back of my head wanting an SS but telling myself petrol and insurance will be a killer.
Took a mates vy for a drive, loved it, his fuel economy wasn't as bad as the rumours i was hearing so then decided i really wanted an SS and the hunt began.
Battered ones, and then the odd "it's too good to be true" like an 06 6ltr with 22,000kms selling for $21,000 at a dealership, and if i was to get that a small help from the parents would have been needed but my dad just couldnt believe it.
Found this white one, after some negotiations got the price to $15g, then the owner told me there was a lease on it
after a few more days of talking he needed to pick up his new car, but couldnt till the lease was paid, spoke to my fathers accountant and came up with a way to buy the car with the least amount of risk in regards to the Lease.
The owner got the car valued at trade in, and was willing to let it go to me for the same price, $13,500
Sale was made, and after a 11 year obsession with v8's and debates with myself over the thought of owning an SS without a job, FINALLY had my own SS
People say should have gotten one in manual, or should have gotten a 6ltr, or with sunroof or whatever, but for the price i paid, with 89,000kms and a year rego, really couldnt go wrong.
Let me know what you guys think, any suggestions you might have or anything like that.
Oh and when it comes to the future plans, don't expect any of the big plans happening till next year because i'm still at uni, once this semester is over then start looking for any kind of work i can get and start saving
