i FINALLY own the NC (as of last month - yippee!), so i took out a loan to mod it, payments are tiny, i'll have it how i want it, and pay the loan back in less than half the loan period

hence why i chose the i have a car but its on finance - cos tecnically i have a loan for the car........

soon i'll be able to get a flat and move out haha

Forte - 23/9/98 - paid $10,000 in cash, $4,500 for trade in and loaned 15 G
But I spent another 7 G over the six years I had it prior to accident
Tickford XR - was $20,000 for aug 98 AU1. got $14,000 pay out on forte wreck and managed to scrape the bank balance of another $6,000 to buy this one

I made sure to insure it at a secured value of $23,000.

I own my EF. But are heading for a $50,000 defcredit loan to cover my next car - a 2003 F250 4x4 Truck.

I will own the car but the army will own me.
