    DON'T DO IT.

    I haven't read the full thread but I hope you and nobody else reading this goes ahead with it.

    I done this last year and although I could afford it, it took all the joy out of owning the car and I was basically going to work just to pay for my car (Honda Integra DC5).

    DON'T DO IT.

    when you do move out you will wish you hadn't paid so much for a car. Furnishing, parties for friends, chasing tail, inviting girls around requires that you spend some money too. Plus rent, food and utilities if it's not inclusive on top.

    A nice car is fantastic for about a month of ownership. Then you get bored of it and if you're on comparitively low income the repayments will be a sting.

    The typical msers advice will fall in deaf ears but listen to this guy he's been there, done that.
