    I wouldn't get a 72 months finance on ANY car, new 2-3 years old whatever. that's one hell of a timespan, do what samson said and get something cheaper for a year or two, pay it off in time and trade it in.

    that way you improve your credit score and also have already paid off a good part of the price through trading it in.

    Thats what I'm thinking about doing get a 15k car pay most of it off in 8-9 months and build my credit up that way

    Dope Wayne(02-07) said it long ago..."a lil ? , I still thinking saving is wack"

    I Never been good @ saving. My lady usually put our cake to the side, cause im just gon spend it on the whip, or a new TV, or a ? might buy a ? Sega CD just to say I got one again. Wont even play that mufucka. $$ be easy af for us ? to spend when you dont have kids(im 28), and you got a good job.

    I get that check & pay the bills, she put some aside, then I be like "damn, I aint bought nuthin new for the GP in a couple weeks. Let me snatch these wheels" or "damn, time to get them slotted/drilled rotors", "royal purple synthetic going in this weekend, dont care if its $12/quart"

    If we had shorties im know that wouldnt be the case, but we dont, and it is, so......

    Time for that new SLP exhaust.

    When I do modifications it's not with resale in mind, it's for my own driving experience.
    I put leather seats in my accord, I know if i went to trade it in they sure weren't going to care. It's still a'94 accord.
    Same as dude on here selling the decked out escalade. I'm sure He invested damn near $20k on that bad boy. But selling it for $50k. Go ahead and be ready to take that lick when it's time to sell. .But enjoy it while u got it

    @b00kie exactly. my car is like a mirror of my personality. Black(obviously), low key, sexy(nh), quick, well taken care of, powerful. I plan on keeping my whip for another 2-3years aleast. 3800's are known for running well over 300,000miles if taken care of, so I dont plan on getting rid of it.

    I let the lady buy the ? for the crib. As long as my man-cave decked out, dont care what she do witj the rest of the crib, and since my hobbie IS working my car, I like to buy nice things for it. dont really care about depreciation, as long I enjoy driving it, and i still turn heads, errthang is a go.

    Quick question for anyone that knows but with my credit score being what it is how much interest should I accept and what's a reasonable monthly payment? I tried researching yesterday and was hit and miss

    I mean what I said, bruh. HV3 insert, CAI, 180thermostat, overkill pcm tune. All installed by me, all that along with my eaton m90 gen5 supercharger make it easy for me beat a SXT charger, SXT challenger(both heavy ass cars), & would beat any 05-10 Mustangs that isnt a GT. I cant see the new 5.0's.

    lol You ? ? me.

    i've never paid over 400 a month for my scion tc, trailblazer, avalanche, tiburon or accent...

    When I was young and wildin I did some things that affect my credit now so I'm sure your paying so low cause your score is better than mine

    You got a nice car bro, hell my mom had a Grand Prix GT back when i was in high school and I swore i was gonna get a GXP one day. You sound like the dude with the Malibu SS tho, while they're nice cars they aren't powerful at all stock and with bolt ons.

    My Mustang GT was 320/mo now my SRT is right around 400/mo. I know some people paying 6-700 a month on car notes, there is no way in hell I'd do that.

    If you comparing your SRT(still a heavy ass whip), than yea, you got it. yours got more stock than me, pcm tuned for straight line take offs, and you bussin RWD. No doubt, but you telling me 280+hp (dont know nobody with a dyno, but CAI is 7+, HV3 is 10-15+ WITH a pcm tune) for my GP made in 2004, aint power? Granted, torque steer comes into play,but that is minimized with my fronts rolling 250's.

    Great thing about a message board tho....we can agree to disagree.

    Don't know what to tell you, I thought my Mustang GT was fast too. Hell this SRT is ok for a stock car, there will come a time when you look back and laugh because you thought your past cars were fast, I do it to this day and will probably do it when I get my next car. But after this is payed off I don't plan on getting a car note unless I can afford a GT-R and I don't see their prices dropping to much, Just means I gotta upgrade my money lol.
