Hi Guys

Im really keen to get an FTO but banks are saying no to me for finance so i was wondering if someone would like a trade. I am a website developer (this is my day job) what i am offering is my skills up to the value of the FTO offered to me. Would prefer GPX Mivec V6 2.0L.

Open to suggestions, my old boss use to drive one and i really would like one.

Im in WA, please give a guy a chance

Either reply to this or email me at james@ashbys.com.au or my mobile is 0400902914.

websites can cost over $8000, considering usually for something basic (very basic) your looking at $2200 min, thats just info no forums or shops etc. Ive seen sites done for $10,000+ all depends on what the person would like. And were are you pulling quality from? my ashbys website? thats a bad example thats just a testing environment i use. I can provide examples if asked for them

No, what i meant was the people you are doing the work for.

you are offering your work to an FTO owner, to make a website for them. And they pay you with the FTO. correct?

what i said was, if they could fork out 10k on a website, why would they own an FTO?

Ah sorry my bad, not sure my old boss who owned the website design company I use to work for owns an fto so not sure good question I've seen some ftos that world have thousands of dollars of mods to it so not sure good question. I just thought I'd ask just just in case there's that one person out there that might be interested

sorry if it sounded harsh, it wasnt meant to be.

(it is the internet after all) hahaha
but like, in all honesty, it will b a very lucky find.

maybe broaden your horrizons, and look at companies who can provide that sort of deal, earn the money and then look at buying?

or if that takes too long, get them to pay in weekly installments, like a wage, and get out a loan?

all options mate

Hahaha nah all good mate I understand

I've tried loans and all that tried everythin but this banks all said NO lol (but yea for 24000 for a new car)

to much i reckon rather an fto than holden cruze lol

just thought I'd give it a go all it takes is that one person to say hey that sounds interesting and if nothing happens I havnt lost anything, like it doesn't Hirt to ask you no

First of Im not familiar with nuke but I know heaps with joomla Ive developed my own stuff for it and know it inside and out and can solve any problem using it joomla is the future

also in regards to dealer finance tried it and can't do it I've been denied by all banks and dealers only thing I can get finance on is a brand new Holden cruze for $24000 witch is way of what I can afford or Kia rio which I don't think well I know it's not what I want

I also have ideas for custom sound system diy project and don't really want to do it to a brand new car

love the fto

any one who wants a website let me know be happy to do it money would go towards an fto even if it means I got to do a few

Anyone who can help me please let me know

I don't see how they are worth $2000, something like that I would be charging around $1200 for the full site
