karl922 Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Sold my temper orange yesterday to a nice chap who's planning a TT conversion.... In good hands it looks like. Now it's either save up for a house or chop the shed in for a nice BMW 530d m sport. What's peoples thoughts on these? Cheers Quote
rtbiscuit Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 i think houses are pretty good, they keep the rain off, and when its cold you can put the heating on. oh and the BMW's pretty good too Quote

Stew Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 A 530d would be a great car to own. Somewhere to live is far more important though in my opinion. Quote
twobears Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 If I didn't have a house I would definitely get that sorted out before buying myself a car. Boring I know but sometimes you have to be sensible and I imagine that now is a good time to buy property with prices being so low. Quote
karl922 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 But im in the RAF so wouldn't be able to live in it for a while yet as my postings miles away from where I would realistically buy. Quote
twobears Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 karl, I think you've answered your own question haven't you? You obviously want to buy the car so go and buy it and enjoy Quote

bronzee Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Buy a house, rent it out and let that income buy you a nice car and more + 1. With a good, reliable tentant. Quote
roadtrip Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Buy a house, rent it out and let that income buy you a nice car and more + 1. With a good, reliable tentant. +1. Houses are cheap-ish at the moment so buy one in good condition and in a good town with plenty of suitable tenants. Doesn't have to be somewhere you'd consider living as you can always sell it when you want to buy your own place, or better still if it's in 5+ years you might be able to just use the equity to buy a second house to live in. Either way you'd be on the property ladder and have more chance of getting a nicer home for yourself and a better car in the future. Quote
