was looking at the BMWs....
mmm decisions. Contemplating the GTI6 but the interior looks so shocking to be honest 
the Celica GT has crept back into my mind... as has an FTO 
later folks, off home

Pay the loan off, being debt is shit. Wait and save for a new car that you can buy in full without any loans

Pay off the loan, but save up for the car you really want before moving in with your lass.
I plan on buying things i dont need, but want because they're fun before getting a house and spending all my money on bills

I agree! Dave I think you should do this! Think of all the wooping you could do if you had your own place!
Plus me and the Hoff could come visit!!

I had plans for the corsa I had but paying rent and living away from home is financially crippling ... it's not just rent, you have bills and council tax on top .. plus all those things you don't plan for (like a timing belt snapping on the motorway )
... if you want the nice car save pay off your debt, then save for the car and finally move out

dont get into anymore debt for cars mate, it aint worth it, im in about 27 grands wqorth of debt due to cars and cars alone(with a pinch of bad luck on the way) and it really aint worth it. Get your loan paid off and enjoy life without having to worry about the pennies

£16k? Is that all?

Will be lucky to be moved in by christmas to be honest. You never know though.
How much would you recommend saving up for moving in (rent in a fully furnished place). I'm thinking 2 lots of rent and say maybe another grand for things that maybe need replacing or we don't like.
