Recently i've been thinking about what to do with my ute, ever since buying it it's been nothing but trouble. I guess it's one of the one in a hundred cars that has everything wrong with it, seems like i fix one thing only for something else to go wrong almost immediately after.
OK enough whinging, what i am thinking of doing is selling it, downgrading to something a lot cheaper and using the money i sell it for to get rid of my remaining debt, then saving for a deposit on a house in the new year. It's a bit of a tough decision, i've always been of the opinion that when buying a new car it should be upgrading, not downgrading...if that makes sense. So i'm curious if anyone else has been in a similar situation and/or have some advice. Cheers guys |

You can downgrade in size but upgrade in package. But you probably wont make any money out of it.

Get yourself a house if you can afford it, once you have your house in a few years you can get yourself a new toy..

Get yourself a car you will enjoy, whether it's 2 years old or 20. Who cares if it's seen as a "downgrade" by some people.

i would say get a house too, once you have the house longer enough you can always get a another loan for a car but doesnt always work the other wayi got the house then waited awhile and went for the car loan they didnt even look at much of it just saw i had a house and said yes to the car loan

Yeah getting the house would be the logical thing to do..I probably should of said what ute i have and what i'd get if i was to 'downgrade' i have a AU1 xls ute and what i'd buy? well i'm leaning towards an older 4wd of sorts...if not it would prolly be an EB or ED fairmont...or a nice clean XF
