You'd be dreaming if you think he can get $40K for his car after 6 months.Quote:

Even if you factor in the premium for being an auto, $40K is impossible.
I reckon maximum you can get is around $38.5K unless you are very lucky and find someone ill-informed.
kidnapped? - someone has been watching too much telly :DQuote:

I reckon redbook is fairly realistic,
I think the difference is they list what cars are actually SOLD for , not what they are advertised for. There is a fair difference, try selling someing private and see how much less than what you are asking people expect to pay. I'm no expert but I think thats why redbook values looks low, but I generally find it pretty realistic for what you will actually get.
It's not my parent's car...it's my car...they have perfectly good cars they can drive with...
Yeah...i would prefer beemers if the maintenance wasnt as bad...plus there are a lot of gliches after a few years....
EuroSip, and Fiaz..the guy who's not satisfy with the performance of his euro.
You should be contemp that your have such a nice parents who get you such a nice car. Most of us have to work our butt off to meet the monthly repayments to keep the car.
Life is never fair.
I repeat....my parents got me the finance approval...since that all the work i do is in cash payments.... so i in fact pay for the monthly payments myself....furthermore...the income that i get is enough to change cars comfortably......if you say my parents getting a finance approval for me as being spoilt then...i guess i am...but i don't see why since that i am the one paying....
If you can afford to change cars just like that let alone being able to afford monthly payments for a Euro, why would you need your parents to get approval for finance? Naturally, you don't.Quote:

If you mean "income" as in pocket money, you'd need your parents to get finance. However, if you mean "income" as in periodic wages from full-time employment, you can easily get finance yourself.
BTW, I don't really care if your parents bought it for you or not.
If you have a rich parents, that's your luck.
However, I do have a problem with losers who try to show off and act cool with an expensive car their parents bought for them when they are just a little mama's boy. These spoilt brats will never learn the satisfaction of paying for your own car and making your own money because 99% of them are really dumb and would never get a job. Besides, they'll quickly realise that not many chics like guys without a proper job as they get older.
Income as in from a job...not ****en pocket money...that's mama's boi's money...and i hate that...!! that's why i don't actually have documents to prove i have an income....get where i'm going with this??
Man, i can't believe anyone would say pocket money is income?? i can't supply enough documents to get finance approval....i have tried before and they rejected saying there's not enough paper doc...and at a young age...they are at risk...
Wow! after reading your post again...did i just get fully blasted for no reason...
P.S. I do know the value of money and how hard it is to get...I work an avg of 50hrs a week along with full-time uni...although...i do enjoy work ^^
Don't listen to em mate, I had to work 2 jobs through uni (bad drinking habbits) but I got through all right. Now I have the best job in the world, I can sorta get what I want and when I want it.
Loans are bullshite to get, I earn lots and lots and got no debt, but do you think I can get a second credit card? No. This is because I have never got anything on interest free, I have always paid cash. I understand your point. Unless you have a credit history and are over 18, you will need a guarentor for any loans / credit always. (GF works for westpac).
Buy what ever car you want, The Euro wasn't near my first choice, but it is the best car in the world for the money. I wanted a liberty GT, but that was over $50k and the GF wouldnt let me get that, or an evo 8. My next car will be like an evo 10 or something other, but it will be MY choice.
And also, you can't really get good second hand cars over here, the dealers ship em over from the eastern states.

Now i think the moderator shld edit that tax stuff out, but you guys did bag on him regarding his car payments, so he had to defend himself... regarding selling the car in WA, i think now the prices are the same as melbourne... prolly cos i went to the dealership the other day and they had so many euros (w're talking like 30 cars) in one dealership, my friend got standard auto for about 37K with extras included i thought that was a pretty good deal...
