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...

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!

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.

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
