Can't Afford Atm But Excited!

[ThePiedPiper]

Hey guys my name is Kris and I live in Florida, this thing is the perfect vehicle due to the city location im in and the traffic from the main road I live near. Not to mention both my GF and I love the uniqueness of alot of the small vehicles on the market, Eg. Fiat and Spyder Can-Am. Sadly we are a couple of college students and with me not having a job we can not afford to get one on reserve, I hope to be able to get one for my GF when they come out she's always says she wants a smart car but these are so much more awesome! XD

Hi Kris, and welcome from Oregon. I like your taste in vehicles obviously, since I am also here. One of our members has a signature lines credited to Henry Ford. It goes something like this. If you think you can't you are right. If you think you can you are right. I have found that by making the decision to buy an Elio my whole attitude towards my limited income has changed. I find little ways to save money here and there that let me first make a $100 all in reservation and is now allowing me upgrade it to $500 next month. Has it been easy? No but Every non-essential purchase is approach with the question this? or the Elio? When I decide for the Elio the savings grow. When I decide for the non-essential the savings don't. Please understand my non-essential are not luxury items. They are a 0.75 dish of ice cream, a used book, a bowl of chili or a kids Frosty (0.79) at Wendy's. These are small purchases but they add up over time. So remember the children's story of "The Little Engine that Could" - I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. Another technique I use is the question: "Why is it so easy for me save money for my Elio". Works every time. Good luck and enjoy the journey toward Elio production and ownership. Z

Welcome my friend, you are wise beyond your years if you have decided to do what you can to purchase an Elio. You can do it...it may not be easy or effortless but in the end it can be accomplished.
