Ahmed, Thanx, but no party, just few wheel spins and dounts to burn few rubber when i get my car. well.... Still didn't decide, it is very hard to choose a car.
Defo, Congrat's i think you welcome to the neighborhood, i'm in the Greens.
jacky, Well man, i will not buy a car now, i'm going home for 2 weeks after 4 days, so i'll take my time, but in these 4 days i'm checking everything, and i mean EVERYTHING all the cars you imagine up to 170 K AUDms
Lead options so far
4x4 > Nissan Murano (05)
Sedan > Accord (05) (06) (the safe sane option)
Coupe > Beemer 330ci 328 etc (02+)
Yuppie car > Porsche boxster S (99+)
Oldies > Merc. SL500 (95+)
Problems:
Old cars get financed up to 8 years from its model, so if i bought a 2000 car model, the bank finance for only 2 years as 06 models are out. so i have to pay a huge downpayment.
Coupe, Yuppie cars > extremely high insurance as i'm 25- and license less than 1 year (Australia one) + it is a coupe + big engine
New ones > Quick Depressiation (whatever it is spelled)
Sedan > come on, with all this variaty, why the helll should i drive a resonable car.
Big problem, when pay in installments, the diff between a model and other is very 100s and then you end up paying 2800 for a car while you wished to pay 1300 but you keep upgrade the model to a better one or other sports car as you think "what the hell, it is only few bucks difference"
Oh, i keep mumbeling now... Take care all

1st of all, congrats on passing your test! sure feels like top of the world huh??!
OMG, you and I are in the same boat! I too have to buy a car and i m going bonkers! well said, you feel 'oh well its not much of difference and end up buying what you didnt really budget for'
My dad gave me a 90 k budget and told me "go sweety, buy a convertiable" ... & I was like HELLO?? so now he has moved a lil to 130k
I see that your doing some research... Lol .. Do pass me info on which Convertible fits in my budget.. :roll:
Ive got BM z4 as one of the options.. But honestly tellin u... I dun like its shape.. plus its only 2 seater & plus its a soft top..
So nother is this peugeot 307..
I like its shape... its hard top..but the engine is small...!!
So i was thinking why not buy a heavy engine, my desirable car but second hand.. but then again... there are issues! and its difficult to find good ones!
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get in return.

325 Convertible, well was my ride. I'm like the 2 of you in the process of buying. I'm just waiting back on a quote for an RX8, this is my new front runner. My problem is I refuse to drive automatic and this is making things difficult for me.
