12 month goal what? Do you work at mcds and pay child support and alimony?

E46s are not expensive. Even the m3 is sub 20k. You can afford it you just don’t know you can

God, I fucking love BMWs. Zee german cars are definately the most fun to drive. And they throw in the nutty options like the electronic sunshade and mirrors that adjust so you can see the crub when you are in reverse. Flippin’ sweet in white btw.

I wouldn’t want to do that to you, and it would still be in my garage once a week. 😃

The Passat was not a car you sell to a good friend, especially for 3K+

Not exactly but pretty much. Its not that I cant afford it, I just cant get rid of enough debt, mainly my current car. I had an 02 s10 and couldnt sell that for the life of me, so I traded it in on an 01 accord and rolled over like 2k. hopefully this summer I can pay enough down to where I can trade it in at least even.

Besides that I only make 10.80/hour because I had to quit my auto body job at john holtz so i can go back to school full time. Now I work nights at a washington mutual call center. I pay 500/month for rent and 130/month for ins and then the cell bill etc. So hopefully this summer I can get a second job and pay some shit off.

the main thing holding me back is owing 7k on a car thats worth $4500.

and honestly, as much as I want a bmw, I would rather have all my credit cards and what not paid off first.

Don’t, it will be a better story for us when you pay the $500 deductable instead of $500 in snow tires.
