Take your time, save up, do bits at a time?
I used to take the loan route, learned the hard way 
Only purchase what you can afford, don't rush anything you will be more proud at the end of it.

Got in debt to start with so I stopped modding it and paid the debt off instead. Since then Ive had a payrise so doesnt take me long to save up to mod it now and I dont get in debt

I work 6-7 days a week and nights if need be. Only have something done when i have the money. Took me a whole year to save up for the changes i had done for max this year. Would never mod a car again though!

I think the worst bit is when you finally come to sell the car! You go to trade it in and they pull out their Parkers price guide for a 6 year old 1.5TD Corsa!

I recomend you don;t get one. being in debt before you've even got a job is not good
