What to do now..

[GTO Assassin]

I'de say keep her. I am currently a house owner but instead of taking a week or so to get the GTO back on the road, it's going on 3 months. It sucks without money to fix stuff.

Yeah after todays meet at Petes place, im really having second thoughts. Ive got it in for sale already but what im thinking of doing is bumping up the price so it takes a little longer to sell, that way i might get more money out of it and more time to make my mind up...

I just got this email now and it feels a little sus to me because his sms'd me but without revealing his number, now the only way you can really do this is to send texts from online anyway the email reads...


Thanks for the prompt response..I want to buy it now as a Present for my Dad and i am at sea at the moment as i am a marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it. I really want the car to be a surprise for my father so i wont let him know anything about the car until it gets delivered to him, i am sure he will be more than happy with the car. I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, i will need you to give me your paypal email address and the price so i can make the payments asap for the car and pls if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com and get it set up, after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the car up after i have made the payments...

Thanks

It's that paypal scam, some poor people have already been duped.

heheh 12.5% deposit you mean. But yeh dude, I dont know a whole lot but for the past 3-4 years i've been preaching that the whole of Australia is in a real-estate bubble. I was in europe a few months ago and am telling you, compared to them we have so much land and yet we are more expensive than england in terms of real-estate. I've spoke to a few real-estate agents too and they completely agree, average income vs average property value is ridiculous and exponentially more than it was 20 years ago. I'd prob hold off on buying, besides am aiming for low 11s on the gto heheh. But really up to you at the end of the day, get the best advice you can, think 30% with your heart 70% with your head and make the best informed decisions possible.

HAHAHAHHAHA i love it!
Some of my mates suggested drug dealing..even prostitution hahahahah

Im 24 and if i sell the GTO i should have approx 50k deposit for a home. I dont really want to buy a house yet but im kind of being forced as my parents are moving up to Brisbane for the warmer climate and my folks are getting ready to retire. Moving up north isnt really in my plans. SO its either renting or buying...50k will give me a 25% deposit on a little 400k town house in the inner suburbs of Melbourne. Not a mansion but a decent start for someone my age.

Woodzy thanks for the advice..ill definately be talking to an advisor asap. Cause i plan to buy for and build for the first time ill get approx another 20k in grants...which can help towards stamp duty land rates etc...
