Don't do money with friends! Do piss drinking, motorcycle crashing, dope smoking, girl sharing, cop avoiding, crop growing, or anything you like, but don't do money.

Never ever ever go guarantor for any one ever. The rules of guarantor mean that the guarantor is more liable than the person with the loan, and the courts will chase the guarantor not the person with the goods.

If he is having that much trouble getting a loan, maybe he shouldn't get one as the risk is obviously too high.

Good luck anyway

Came to me asking if I could help. But as I am a single dad with 3 boys (and there is the MotoX for 2 of them...) an looking to upgrade my self, I don't have any spare $$'s.

He has no house. Really nothing apart from a car and a job. I did not have any answers.

Any ideas?

Yup.

Your mate has met a reality of life.

"Now' ain't a distinct likelihood for him.

I have no money and I badly want a Gulfstream GV and now.
("Gulfstream V, the world's first ultra-long range business jet. The Gulfstream V features the most sophisticated technology available to support the rigorous demands of intercontinental missions. From the unique engine design and highly advanced communications capabilities to the cabin that offers maximum passenger comfort and flexibility, the Gulfstream V continues the Gulfstream legacy of innovation and high quality. The Gulfstream V's ability to travel nonstop for 6,500 nautical miles at speeds up to Mach 0.885 sets the benchmark for world travel. For the first time, nonstop business travel between destinations such as Aspen and Rome, London and Singapore, San Francisco and Moscow, and New York and Tokyo is routine.")

I asked my mates for help but they spent all their dosh on beer. I tried GE money but they didn't want to know. Any answers?

Nothing to do with a mate that needs cash fast.
What about an interviewing for Police 10-7 perhaps?

not as fucked as someone not having a license for nine months

The best thing to do is save for it - less expensive in the long run. Finance companies/banks are just a bunch of thieving bastards with a flash office.

After some ringin around and some emailing he has now found a finance company that is prepared to lend him $5K over 12 - 36 months. They will take the car and the bike he is buying as security should he fault on the payments. The interest is high-ish.

But as he has a decent income he is secure in the knowledge that he will be OK. And if he decides to pay it back early there is only a $50 fee, and he will save all that interest.

So as he has the OK he is now out shopping.

Thanks to the ones who gave constructive suggestions. To all the ones in their moral ivory towers who consider buying a bike a previledge for the well of, you must be proud of your ability to produce shit without smell...
