    Your mate is most likely going to work hard for the next 5 years for that car, you should be happy for him. Is it a manual? Mine is and goes like hell!! GOOD ON HIM!!

    255KW at the flywheel.
    190KW approx if manual at the wheels or 255HP at the rear wheels.

    slightly less power at the rear wheels if its a auto

    if he is in the armed forces insurance will be bugger all.

    I used to pay $780 for a 10 second rx2 coupe full comp. There are alot of unknown benefits to being a soldier ;)

    yeah sounds like he will have to work hard.

    Funny when people say they have earned it .. when really all they got was the loan... another words a big debt...

    vx clubby can produce serious amounts of power. My mates has a really nice amount in adelaide

    its ok his insurence is only 1200 a yr, he paid 15,000 cash he saved and 13,500 loan which he will pay off in a year easy as piss... which is why i like the defence force and what they can offer, im going navy though... so for an 18yr old to save 15g i'd say he earned it wouldnt you?... oh and the loan is interest free because he will pay it off under 12 months otherwise it would be 3%

    With which of the defence banks is this with? I bank with 2 of them, neither of these banks offer a setup like you explained....

    I wont buy a car unless i can pay cash. Finance on cars = money sink.
    Only thing i have on finance is my house/s mortgages.

    Are you able to find out for me? I would love to be able to do this. Free money is always great. I know for a fact defcredit doesnt offer it.
