Hi Neil,
Full marks for going for it.

Personally myself, I would not buy from anyone who has not bought themselves and I like to do the research myself.

I think other people would find it very helpful.

yeah, i think you gotta upgrade…the old corolla does nothing for the ego.

I drive a Ford Focus 2003, and it is great, downgraded or upgraded I dont know from a 1995 Ford Futura to save money
on the petrol to work on debt of PPOR.

The Focus is great but too small now with 2 growing boys. Want Ford Territory for cheap holidays and room for all the sports gear and friends that come along with going to football, basketball, soccer etc etc

Will only buy Territory if we can convert it to gas and buy it at the Auctions, but am struggling with the thought of paying $30k for a car, I know it's silly but I WANT IT!!!  LOL!!!!

Oh well, I can just keep wanting!!!!

Money = Power

Now before you shout me down, I mean the power to do what ever you want to do. Whether that be part time work, more time with family, travel etc

Therefore, the $ figure is going to be different for everybody.

So to be rich is to do what I want, when I want and for that we need money so as not to go to work so that we have the time to do what we want, when we want. Simple! LOL!!

We will all get there one day!

Good to hear!

Well then I guess Congratulations are in order!

Just remember, set your expected growth per year and make decisions
based on the numbers not the heart.

Good Luck and Well Done!

Hey deadcat (luv that name!)

Ditto to above comments, what they paid is not always relevant. If you want to get out, yes you can on your cooling off period but it will cost you and it must be within 5 working days- see your warning statement, the t&c are easy to read. I think it is .25% of your contract price – but check that.

If you dont want to pay anything, get out on finance – talk to your solicitor or conveyancer about this. People get out of contracts all the time without paying anything.

Cheers!

Most people think of listing in the warmer months so I agree with KJ. Things slow down before end of financial year and before an election or any big announcement eg hints of interest rate rises in the news. People hold back because they want to see if things will change.
