I am just curious to know who has had their car the longest.

Only had mine for a year, less a month and a half for panel repairs :roll:

3 Years in December!! I got my car 3 days before Christmas Day. It was the best Christmas present I ever bought for myself!! Come to think about it, it was the only Christmas present I have bought for myself.

of course! where wlse would i be :lol: actually i cant believe YOURE still here... talk about loyalty to the good ol' FTO.... unlike some ppl, i cant afford to upgrade to something more powerful... well our company is introducing novated lease as a benefit later this year, so lets see how things go... rx8 is looking pretty tempting... 8) is that under $57,000?

hows the s2000 going? done much to it?

The base RX8 model is more then $57k on the road, but if you can get your company to do salary sacrifice instead of leasing, then you can pick up the RX8 at pre-tax dollar. So even the top of the range would be well within your budget.

If its leasing, don't max out the budget, cause theres FBT, & u might have to pay for it at the end of the finacial yr.
