Getting a car loan.

Re: Getting a car loan.

let me give you some real advice man straight up

if 3 weeks ago you cant afford to pay a simple traffic ticket, if you have trouble paying for gas, if you dont have a job:

get a job, work hard, save your money, buy a ~$2000 dollar car like the rest of us did when we wanted our first car. i know people with Ruined credit for messing up loans like this. for real man, youd be much better off either saving up a few grand or trying to set up a "loan" with your parents. see if you can get them to throw you a few thousand and pay them back on a set time schedule. draw up a contract etc., youd be much better off dealing with your parents than going to a bank.

My grandma has done loans for my parents, I might talk to her about helping me out with a down payment. I don't need a 2000 dollar car, I already have one :P

Re: Getting a car loan.

Dude, just look at it this way. You CAN NOT hold on to a sports car as a daily driver for years.

Totally unrealistic dude. You may have some big dreams, but honestly you're chasing your dreams like a dumb kid.

I couldn't give two ****s what you end up buying, but if any of our advice sinks in you won't end up paying far more than you should be for a car that is far bellow what you thought you wanted.

Get a solid, daily driver that won't be a mechanical nightmare, and enjoy the fact that you've got yourself a stable car for however long you can hold on to it

I already have a daily driver, my Civic. These S2000's are bulletproof, it's a damn 2 litre 4 banger. I'm aware of the maintenance that comes with an S2000, I've been doing months of research and talking to owners.

I won't settle for a car I don't want. I'll be wasting my money when I can buy the car I've been wanting forever.

Wow. So I just check KBB and the 210,000km S2k is going for 9500 and KBB says it should be 7100. So if I can get that thing for 7500 bucks, I'm so buying it. I wouldn't care if it didn't last me long since I can part it out if the engine blows.

Also the 2002 that I showed you guys in the 2nd post is going for 15,400 but KBB says 12,500, so I'm going to offer him 13,000.

Re: Getting a car loan.

If you already have a car then what on earth are you doing

Manage your money more intelligently -- especially considering that you were completely broke in recent weeks. I know you may be anxious to spend because you may be earning money again, but keep your head on straight, here. Just because you have money to spend doesn't mean you can afford it. With this kind of mindset you'd be completely screwed if your job dried up or something else happened to you. Make sure you can cover your bottom line before you start spending on toys and gadgets that are costly.
