hi all,

thanks for your advice, keep 'em coming. I think I'm leaning towards buying a 2nd hand car, hopefully i have enough for a mid-level car. Much as I would like a brand new car, I don't think I can afford it.

for all those selling their cars, if they're still available by june, expect a call from me in the meantime, will try to read up on what steps to take in buying a 2nd hand car.
