Loan

[99VT]

I also agree with those saying buy a modern small car.

At 19 I bought a 94 ED falcon, spent big money on turbo and go-fast bits, ending up being a money pit after about 2 years. Having to spend so much money on it when things broke. Ended up leaving it at my parents for a week and thought long and hard about what I was doing. Ended up selling it and buying an 08 Suzuki swift on a 20k loan, and I've worked out even with the $330/fortnight repayments, fuel, insurance and maintenance its STILL cheaper then what I was spending on my ED falcon per year.

23 now and have a 08 Swift as our main car, and a 99 VT which I've just picked up as a weekender.

Don't listen to these fools with their common sense and experience.

YOU are 17, and definitely have the world all figured out. I can tell you have though this plan through carefully, from all angles - you have nothing to worry about.

Follow your heart and get the car of your dreams, don't listen to banks with their wishy-washy "co-signer" crap, they are just playing hard ball. You need to make an appointment to see a financial adviser, then get in there and just lay it on the line - you say "I would like a $15,000 loan please sir, I have no security or credit history to speak of, but I do REALLY want this car" then he'll say some bullshit like "We can't give you a loan on that basis" and then what you do (this is the secret) you lean over the desk, grab him by the tie and say "I'm 17 mother****er! I know the game, you pick up your little pen there and you draw a game of hang-man on the table; if I win you give me that loan, if you win I'll give you THREE bits of driftwood and a pair of lesbian gerbils and you'll never hear from me again". Then sit back and watch him retreat like a smacked puppy.

Trust me :thumbsup:
