:congrats: Good for you mate!
That is my attitude also, Word of warning though....Don't join VWROC. I did but have now removed my build thread and no longer actively post on there. I once mentioned on a thread that if I cannot afford to buy something I go without. Also the fact that I prefer to work hard and save for my purchases rather than leasing a Car that is never going to belong to me and then giving it back after 2 Years. That I have a sense of satisfaction by doing this and I get the reward at the end for my efforts by being able to buy whatever it is I have saved up for and I feel I appreciate it more for doing this.
I got Lynched on there by pretty much everyone "The Lease Brigade" I was told I was a fool for having my mentality.
My MK6 R is the most expensive car I have ever purchased and previously I have mainly been involved with Owners clubs for older cars of lesser value and generally the majority of other members are in the same boat and also have saved and own their cars, On VWROC some of the members are very different, Not enthusiasts at all just people who Lease a MK7 R because they can afford a Monthly payment.
I don't think I have ever been on another Owners club with so many people that have the "Live for today and if I can't pay for it someone else will" Attitude.

^^^^ I agree BUT for many that is their only way to own a car letalone a nice one.
I'm on vwroc as im always looking in their classified and yes ive noticed the "lease brigade" getting sh*tty with people on there. One chap leases his car and is further finacing his BT and has bought various parts from certain online stores that offer credit etc.......but ETTO.
Leasing/financing or getting a personal loan for a car is a great way to obtain a car that would be out of your reach normally, it's personal chioce and once again......ETTO.
I am fortunate (or lucky enough) to be able to save for a car as I usually keep each car between 5 or 6 years. I'd happily lease a Mk7 R400 or a new RS3 but I'd not feel comfortable modifying it as i feel it's not really mine, im borrowing it. I believe modifing a leased car is also not allowed but I could be wrong.
I'd rather buy a car, know it's mine 100% and do what I like to it, be that good or bad.
:happy2:
