Bank, or rather Ford Credit, owns 90% of my BA.
I own my ZF 'lane, but hopefully not for much longer.
I own my EF, well technically. My mate is buying it, paying it off over time but it's still in my name. Still owes me about a third of the price.

I own my EF and my Capri, but we are spending more $ on her. And Hubby owns his '86 Navara ute. We paid cash for them but we bought them 2nd hand off old guys who babied them and they all had really low kms on them. It makes me cringe to see the $$ loss on a new car in a short amount of time.

I own my car But it cost bugger all, $2500 incl getn its rwc & reg. Was still a challenge as I hadn't saved much and only ever worked 4hours a week coz I was still in school. My first 2 weeks pay of my fulltime job went towards the car. Got there in the end!

well, my dad forked out the $1300 for the EB. But he would never expect me to pay him back. im a poor uni student!! i have to have a mode of transport!! but he says i can do whatever i want to it, if i do it with my own money. Which is fine by me! i will get flamed so bad, but dad also pays for rego and insurance hahaha. god bless him.

F6 Typhoon is business lease with 20% Balloon after 5 years. 2005 Model. One pf the first produced. I noticed in last months Unique Cars mag a 2004 model for $51K just under 30,000kms. When you start to way up the tax benefits, depreciation (of course less expenses) you start to come out of it not too badly. If you can get your company to provide a novated lease then you can potentially get the car of your dreams.
But as well all know, cars can just suck your wallet dry... Not the best investment in the world....
