Thanks bud :) Quite sad to see her go but i am looking towards a solid investment which should see me back in the drivers seat of something extra special within 12 months.

Works out at about £9300! What a bargain! The UK market would snap it up at that price, but I guess shipping to the furthest point on the planet would not be cheap.

Good luck in finding a new owner!

Would love to see one of the UK boys or girls in this. NZ has a problem as a large number of drivers will pay bottom dollar for a car and not worry about the high mileage etc As long as it has the right badge on it they tend to be happy... Cheap skates!

I can't give out too much information or else the rest of you will be competition for me. It may also spark a mass selling of VR-4's across the UK and NZ with people copying what i am doing and we can't have that now can we? :-D Let's just say it is a unique investment opportunity that i am attempting to create in collaboration with another investor or two :p

Dude cars are cheap in NZ, but property isnt, well not in Auckland anyway. The easiest way to make money in NZ at the moment is methemphetemenes.

Methamphetamines as in P, Ice, Speed etc. That would also be the easiest way to see yourself spending the next 6-10 behind bars and lose all your possessions or have both your arms broken by a deal gone sour.

No, it isn't property although i will be looking towards some out of Auckland within the next two years. I would not classify property as a true asset or investment as there are no gurantees that you are going to profit from it.

property can be a true asset, & you'll find that many if not all of the wealthiest people around have, & continue to make there money from property. I am looking into an investment scheme, but It's a bit out of my reach at the moment. once you've overcome finding the initial set up/buy in costs, then the profitability is very high.
without divulging too much. [ further info available by PM ] here's how a couple of people I know have made a nice "earner" out of property.
there are companies out there who genuinely do help people get a foot hold onthe property ladder. they buy large numbers of properties at knock down prices, & I dont mean run down properties either, only high quality corporate letting properties. they do this by offering to buy properties from the buiders before they are either built or sold. any building company, large or small will gladly sell there properties for a good discount, if someone with "clout" offers to buy, say, a third of them.
these companies then offer the opportunity for individuals to buy these properties, at a knock down price, [ dont worry !! they still make plenty ! ]
I'll give you a couple of examples of how it works, & I've seen these properties, & all the figures involed.
property 1; in a northern city. designer "loft appartment" [ all flats now sold, by the way ] on the market for £125,000. purchased for £95,000. furnished & let @ £xxx pcm. mortgage £ xxx [ cant divulge. because all the mortgages on each property are different ]
so, after legal costs etc, a decent income on the letting. next step. remortgage !!! up to the value of the flat. which releases the equity to either p**s up against a wall or, it's your deposit on the next one !!
property 2; new build, 4 bed house in pe*******gh. £235,000. bought for £202.000. rental income is approx £500 above the mortgage per month. & a healthy equity to release.
in short, they, [ the investment company ] guarantee a minmum of £1 million portfolio, & £100,000 income within 12 months. sounds good to me, but I aint got the capitol to invest at the mo !!. & also the properties can be anywhere in the world. one has just been declined in the bahamas, only because the completion date is too far away, & his money would be tied up too long before an income was forthcoming. but the return on rental was huge !!
my mate now just waits for the phone to ring, then either says yes, or no, & the rest is taken care of !! & the little t**t has just bought a seat leon cupra R from the proceeds of his 1st deal. :sick:
just think what you could do to your VR4 with an income like that ?? :cool1:

It takes 2 things to make money from property.
Time & money... I dont have either at the moment, all I have is a VR4.

I agree with you to some extent but i define an asset as something which puts money into my pocket and a liability as something that takes money out of my pocket. A house does both which is why i don't define it as a true asset.

owning your own house is an asset, but can be costly. getting someone else to pay the costs on your property ?? thats profit. you only make money when you buy a property, not when you sell.

Yet again i agree but as i said a true asset is something which does not continually take money from your pocket. While a house can be a source of income it also takes away money through rates, upkeep etc etc. My family own a number of properties and soon INSERT INTO post VALUES (a year or two) i will be playing the property game myself.

haha better feel guilty bitch! ;)

It's a good discussion so don't worry about it. It is keeping my thread up at the top and scoring heaps of views so im not fussed :)

ps. Anyone want to by a VR-4 Legnum :3d: ?

property will take money from your pocket, but if the income outweighs the expenditure then surely it's an asset. dont pay for the property yourself, let the tennants. we all know how much the upkeep on a house is. but if your in a position to buy to let, then I think it's prudent to not worry about letting it out, as long as your costs are covered, & you gain from the capitol growth.
