Was going to get a lone for around $60000 to pick up a new car but looking around at all the offers does my head in. Any way any good tips on whats going now? The good the bad and the ulgy.

australia is a big place, don't have to travel far to be alone


but...

if you can't tell the difference between a lone and a loan

you're probably not the type of person who should borrow sixty grand to buy a friggen car

only advice ive got is unless you use it to make money, buy the cheapest car your ego will allow. worst investment you can make is a car. buy a cheap flat and rent it out, or get some shares.

Depending on the make and model, some dealers are offering crazy low interest rates at the moment.

Otherwise go see a loan broker. Its their job to find you the best loan and they can often negotiate a better price on the car.

Sure your going to loose money on it and its going to depreciate lots but lifes to short to be sensible all the time

$60K

definitely go a lone - nobody will want to be guarantor, which pretty much leaves you a lone.

or try an ulgy lone. They are pretty good.

A loan for a $60k car eh? That sounds like a good idea... or not.

Check out what that car will really cost you at www.yourmortgage.com.au/calculators/

As for best rates, you could start at www.ratecity.com.au/car-loans

Take it easy. Just sounds like a kiter wants to lend some money.

But 60k isnt even *that* much for a car these days. Heaps of hsvs, beemers, landcruisers etc etc floating around the streets of Perth.

Borrowing 60k might seem like a lot but plenty of young blokes in perth (who also have bad spelling) have 60k cars. All financed of course but who cares, not my money

What kind of car are you going to buy Can I borrow it every second weekend If I can, maybe I can come to the bank with you and tell them that you are good for the repayments.

Is there some measure of vanity that is basically measured in the number of weeks it takes you to earn the value of your car?

The best way to get 60k is to ask me. But first make a deposit into my account of some simple transfer fees and just enough to cover some basic legal details and I will arrange a loan - nice and easy!

Read this before dropping 60,000 on a toy.



That is fantastic.

I came here to write the first part of his article, the actual cost of a new car,
but had never even considered the latter part of his article; a truly excellent method.

...although I'd suggest, if you have a mortgage, put the money against that instead. It is a guaranteed n% return, and tax free. The markets have been kinda dodgy the last five years. Then withdraw the extra money you've been putting against your mortgage when it comes time for a "new" car.
