but its worth every dollar ive spent, but dear god it drinks a shitload of petrol!

I rekon I will do between 10-15000kms per year. Rough estimates suggest with Autopia this will be $1000 per month. This is based on what someone else is getting, however, I will get exact figure on Thursday.
$1700 is really steep! I worked out I could finance it and pay for all car costs for about $1500-$1600 a month. I will make sure that I budget a lot for 98RON

Thanks! Yeah i know what to look out for, been doing a lot of homework. I have a spreadsheet with many options including keeping current car, taking loan with different places and also leasing.
So far it looks like in three years time, I would have spent $5000-$10000 more if I get a liberty compared to keeping the Ford... excluding mods
. However, I get a much nicer car which I will enjoy to drive
