Guys.. things have changed in my life an enormous amount over the past 4 or 5 days and i might be leaving the you wonderful Fiesta owners to jump ship towards my new home at www.fordxr5turbo.com ... i will still call in from time to time once my car is delivered.. but if anyone is looking for a lovely WP zetec manual moondust silver. let me know its only done 21,000 kms so far... il be able to know more once i am contacted back about the arrival of my new baby.

:)

Ringwood North. so a reasonable amount closer.

Anyway im getting the Electric Orange XR5 with Leather Recaro Seats and Reverse sensors.. so should be cool.. times have changed in loans since i applied for the WP.. now you can take them over 7 years.. so it changes things alot..

Anyway just to rub things in abit more.. im not letting anyone drive the XR5 but myself :D .. nah i might give you a spin danny :D

See, it's not all bad.

That mobile number beside your "location"... is that your ex's number? :D

Agreed - A lot can happen in 7 years, as did with you in the past 4 to 5 days!

Danny 03-09-2006 07:34 PM

Valid..

photn 03-09-2006 08:16 PM

thats unfortunate to hear dude....i hope she hasnt broken your heart :( ...but its good to see you on the positive side.......im glad you are interested in the XR5T....id just be a little patient...give yourself time to settle down at home...time to settle into an old and different lifestyle.....maybee give it a couple more months b4 u make a decision......it took me 4 months to get a loan to get my rims and all that jazz on my car.....well that just my 4 cence.....im glad for you dude....just dont want you to be making impulsive decisions that you may regret later on in life.....not saying that you shouldnt get the XR5T but just give your self time to settle down back at home....
"DONT WORRY BE HAPPY!!"as boby ferrin once sung...

murcod 03-09-2006 08:24 PM

Work out the repayments over the life of the loan and calculate out how much you'll end up paying back. That's sure to make you think twice!!

Then think about paying it out it for four years with no warranty if anything mechanical goes wrong.... Or wanting a different car in two - three years time and still owing a huge amount more than what you'd ever get as a trade in.

It would be a nice car to own, my advice would be to let things settle down a bit before making a huge decision like that. And save up a huge deposit first! :)

RichieMK6 04-09-2006 02:44 AM

Get a 1999 S2000 :yummy: for 35k waaaaayy better than XR5

JD2004 04-09-2006 08:35 AM

Im not going to take out a 7 year loan because its silly!!
Mine is worked out over 5 years 2 months.. specific to repayments.. and fortnightly repayments are better for me as they cut the interest in half.

Zetec20 04-09-2006 10:59 AM

gotta love impulse buys, saw my ex driving home from work on saturday and treated myself to a new $4000 laptop, just remember no matter how you treat her, the car will never leave you :)

mitch_lx 04-09-2006 11:57 AM

which notebook did you buy yourself??

HP DV8000 series i hope. You know you get a free flight with that one? :)

Zetec20 04-09-2006 12:15 PM

lol u read my mind, sure did pal, and got a VERY good price and warranty

Polyal 04-09-2006 12:30 PM

congrats on the purchase!

And with the loan guys, mine is over 5 but ill pay it off in 2 or so and I dont have to pay the extra interest or early fee.

Teki04 04-09-2006 07:54 PM

So Luke,

Are you prepared for the waiting lists?! I do believe that if your fussy about colours... be prepared to wait, and beg for information. Don't be surprised if you don't get an XR5T before 2007
