We have an Alfa '03 GTV and it's a fantastic car. Not THE most powerful, but it's relatively light, and it handles like
a freakazoid (as long as you have P-Zero's). Many reviewers have said this is THE best balanced, best handling car ever made.
I wouldn't recommend it as your only car though, as it's quite impracticle to use, and costs an absolute bomb to keep serviced,
which you MUST do. An absolutely beautiful car to drive, get it out on a winding country road and you totally forget what a PITA
it is to own.
Chris, this one's unlikely to rust away, many of the panels are ABS, and the rest is galvanised!
My advise would be similar to Chris's though, don't spend all your money on cars. I did when I was young, and sure I had a lot
of fun, but they were all depreciating assets which set back wealth creation by many many years. Sell the Dunnydoor and buy a
$5k Toyota with <100k km on it. It will cost you $0 to own, and will last for another 15 years. Use your saved funds to get into
appreciating assets, if not a house/unit at this stage, whack it in to a good managed fund or two. You can add a little bit to the
fund each month. It sounds like you're a good worker, and if you do this you'll be on your way to a more comfortable life, you'll
be thankful for it later on.
So many people in Australia live payday to payday because of bad spending habits in the early years. With young guys it's often
cars. Contrary to popular belief, cars don't get you chicks, well, not one you want to keep. Cars and temporary women are toys,
you should only use your toy money on them.
Cheers,
Jason.
