One more car info request

[gipsy102102]

I have to make a decision on a car to buy within the next day or so. Have been looking around a lot this weekend..test drving many of em. Let me first begin by saying...I strictly want a Jap import. Secondlyt I have an issue with financing....the max I can go on my financing amount is $14000.

I right now have a Camry XLE V6 that I picked up from a dealer on Sat..pretty awsome vehicle...smooth as hell..and pretty loaded on options...only deal with that is its a bit too much of a family car and Im 24.!!!! (However nothing is sure on the Camry ...cause the fiancing situation still pending..I will know for sure tommorow)

So I need help in figuring out which other car to go for if the Camry dosent come through.

Btw...I didnt like the Accords (EX or the LX)...havent tried out the Civic though !!!

Please guys...need all the help I can get



P.S - I have a 3.8L Pontiac Grand Prix(which i am trading in now)...awesome performance but not reliable at all...and to add to that ..I have gone upside down on the payoff on this POS...!@##*>%!!

go looking for Subaru Impreza's, man those things are impressive.

imprezza wrx, ~$26k. ~$28k out the door. kinda more than 14k. =)

subaru 2.5... about 18-19K loaded

 

[warcleric]

I think he is talking slightly used, no way he is getting a Camry or an Accord for $14k.

 

[Mister T]

I thought he was going to be applying the Grand Prix as trade in

Go drive the subaru... Its a cool car

 

[warcleric]

He is upside down on the GP. Means that will be added to the principle of the new loan, or eat up his down payment. It is never a good idea to trade upside down, just live with it until you are even or better on the vehicle.

Yeah i am but the GrandPrix is only fetching me 8500 when my payoff on it 9650...so thats off no help anyways...and also when I said 14000..I meant total fiancing...even after the new bank absorbs my previous payoff

 

[warcleric]

Found a bunch of 98 Impreza 2.5RS's here in the $12k range. I am telling you, these things are awesome, and I hate jap cars.

 

[Mister T]

any chance at selling the Grand Prix privately?

 

[gipsy102102]

Well the deal with holding on to the GP is that its just in love with the damn garage!!! Last year alone...the car went in 7 times...luckily the bank has asked me to take extended warranty..so I was covered six of the 7 times......

I cant afford to take another no covered hit...its costing me wsay too much money and grief !!!

 

[gipsy102102]

Nope Mister T ran an add in Autotrader for three months..not a single call!!! Shoudl have listened to my bro before I bought this!!!

Warcleric.. I ran a search on Autotrader for the Subaru.,..nothin figuring up near where I stay ...!!! So much for that !!

 

[gipsy102102]

Warlceleric...yeah your right..this Camry that I have right now is 1998 ...and has 50K on it....and the sale price on it is 15000...thats why I said nothing is finalised on that..!!!

Here's what I'm doing...

- '90 CRX
- B16a (fvck torque )
- Full interior
- Body kit
- Sounds
- Drop

It's still waaaaaay under 14k and it'll beat the sh*t outta most ricers with just a few bolt-ons.

Enjoy!
