also, if you get a loan, make sure the way you pay it doent attract fees.
i had a friend they bought a brand new 2000 mitsy marage (sp?) there "on road costs" were around 16,990 at the time.
he got finance and got screwed with a few "extra costs" that he could of talked down if he wasnt so dim.
was paying it off and then got a letter in the mail about 2 years in saying on top of the loan amount he owed 200 odd in fee's for paying it at the post office and was stung a late fee for not paying them even tho he never got a warning.
long story short, direct debits were free so he changed to that.
he's a qualified chief and 6 years on he hadnt payed off his 16,990+extra's and resulted in a 30g blow out on the lown.
he now owns a bug eye wrx that he paied 27g on and it came with a roady and choped springs.... bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
