You can always pay out the loan early if you get cashed up.Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
Best advice in the thread !!!

$18k is a LOT of cash to drop on a car you have to compromise on when for just a few extra $$$ you can get exactly what you want !

My mate is looking at buying a new car and because he's being so stuborn and wont look at upping the budget an extra $2-$3k for an FG XR6T, he'll compromise and miss out on getting what he really wants.

Buy a Mazda 6 or 3 . We have had a 3 for six years done 150k ,and it has been a very good car. I have had three BA's ,two Au's ( TE50), two EB's ,A EL,and a Bf GT , and the Mazda has been far and away the most painless to own. Sorry Mr Ford .....
