I worked the math out and I have a feeling that the interest on a used car loan is going to kill me... does anyone know what the regular 60 month rate is? The car will cost me 11K and I will put down 1500, plus my Jetta.. my dad said that the payments should be around 225... that is just really high to me, and if thats the case, I might as well just get a new car. Oh well, I will have to run the numbers again tomorrow.

For a used car and 60 month term...something in the 4.7% range would be good. Depending on your age and credit history...you may need a co-signor to get a good interest rate.

it's TIE ROD not TIRE ROD.

TIE RODS connect the steering rack to the steering knuckle and utilize a ball joint to absorb up and down movements. if tie rods 'go' then you will not be able to steer correctly and the vehicle crash and injury will be involved.

If you can get used Toyotas too, then i'd say used supra turbo or MR2 turbo. for new, i'd say get the matrix with the hot 4 cylinder in it.

matrix-es are fvcking(really, what is the differnece between fvck and the real spelling) ugly

If I get the Matrix, it will be the XRS with the Celica engine... they were supposed to get some more in today, but i didn't have time to look... i was too busy drooling over the Accord ... since the interest would be a lot less on a Matrix, I might consider one if the payments are right.

Cool cool. I really like the Accord coupes much better than the Sedans though , sorry, I didn't read the whole thread, but can you sister co-sign on used cars?

Nice car.

-Bubbadu

Whatever you do, do not get a used BMW 759iL V12 unless you have some $$$$ for repairs. For sure, it is a nice car and it would be cool to have until something breaks.
A new exhaust system was $2500 new 10 YEARS AGO.

Get the Honda.

Thanks I wouldn't see a problem in her co-signing for a car.. i would have started the paperwork today, but my dad was busy, and sold 4 OTHER cars today The coupes definlty are nice, but I guess the insurance will be cheaper on a 4Door. I will try and finalize the deal tomorrow, and hopefully I can get the payment to 200 a month.

1) How many miles does the 00 Accord have?
2) What trim level?
3) 4 or 6 banger?
4) What is the purchase price?
5) How much is the downpayment and monthly payment?

Congrats!

Yeah the BMW is out of the picture because theres now way the bank would finiance a car that old, and i definlty don't have 5 grand cash. I came to my senses, and realized that car would just be ridicilous to own.

Oh yeah btw, I also test drove a 01 Sentra 2.0 SE, and the freaking horn didn't work... I believe SKOORB had something to do with it

It really depends how you will use the car.

If you are just gonna commute, Celica is pretty good choice.

If you are going to use it as a practical car for you needs, such as snowboarding, biking, and whatnot, then the Matrix might be more appealing.

Since you are only 19 and have driven only 3 years, your car is gonna take a beating no matter what.

I drove an 89 Toyota Cressida and recently just got a new car ( I am 24) and I am glad that I waited.

I never got into any accidents nor got any tickets but inexperience on my part was harsh on the older car.

If I were you, I would go for a used car and wait to get a nice new car later on.

Damnit, how could I forget to answer a fellow Accord owner questions... sorry about that RossMAN.

1) 40K miles
2) LX
3) 4 Banger 2.3 VTEC
4) 11,000
5) 1500 down, 200 a month

The car has studded winter tires on it right now, which will obviously have to be replaced this summer... other than that, the car is PERFECT.

Thanks. I will definlty be treating it with care ... my Jetta was a piece of crap, so I treated it like one Now that I will be paying monthly on this one, and hopefully successfully building my credit, it will be babied to the max.
