Considering Ba xr8's can be picked up now for around $28K he probally didn't need to borrow money for it. I borrowed $3o,ooo (@ 6.8%) for my MKII xr8 when i bought it new and i had the rest in cash, was 19 at the time. I have paid most of what i borrowed off inside of 18 months and if i hadn't bought a Jetski or had the car modded i would have paid it off by now.

Don't knock people who see something they want and go out and work hard for it, if they borrow money to make up the difference who care's.

it was LIGHT HEARTED. And since i've borrowed the full amount for every car i've ever owned, and only just recently paid out the BF, quite obviously i'm not being serious.

refer to this post which i started and voted 'borrowed full finance'

Even if it was light hearted it's still knocking him. If you weren't serious why would you bother posting that.
