Depending on how much me and the g/f get back in taxes, i think we MAY be in the position to be able to look into purchasing a car (i.e. most/all debts paid off and some emergency cash in the savings acct.)… I think it might be a wise decision to get some sort of dependable daily driver that we can both drive, and then worry about dumping money into the talon. This would mean that i can take my time getting the talon back on the road, and do it right instead of the cheapest/fastest way. And then once the talon is dependable and all that it can be my main source of transportation and the g/f can just drive whatever we buy, and it can be used for grocery getting/long trips and all that shit so the talon wont be racking up so many extra miles… Now here’s the big question. Should i just try and save up like ~$2K and just try and buy something straight up and therefore avoid a car payment, or should i bite the bullet and try to get something in the 5-7K range and get a loan? My credit is fux0red, so if i were to go that route im sure i will end up paying out the ass in interest, but on the other hand that might be a big help in rebuilding my credit. Then again, the thought of having a car payment eating up mod money for 3-4 years doesnt exactly enthrall me. I know a lot of you guys go out to the auctions, can a half decent car be had for $2K?? And if i decide to go that route, would it be a wise decision to maybe postpone my trip home and save up some cash and go up to PA and get a car at the auction and then drive it back? If im looking to get a ~2K car, i really dont care what its gonna be. If im gonna get a loan and get something, i was thinking 94ish Accord coupe, or perhaps a Grand Cherokee… Both can be had for around 5-7K. :dunno: ---

> _Originally posted by BlkP42E_ > **ehh go the 2k dollar route. that way its all and paid for. if you run into money probs and cant make payments, you wouldnt be fucked** Good point… im really thinking about a 94ish accord. There are hig mile (120Kish) accords going for 3500-4500 private party and dealer, so im thinking i MAY be able to find one at auction for considerable cheaper. Hell this kid i know down here bought a 93 VTEC Prelude for like 4K, and thats at least a few grand less than what you usually see on the market… Accord. Nice lookin car lowered with a decent set of rims and an exhaust. Good way for the woman to get into modding cars without getting her in anything too fast. Plus i can always swap a H22 into it and turbo it… :0 ---

look for somethign in the 3500 range and use 2k as a down payment and loan for the other 1500. that way you can atleast start to rebuild your credit and not compltely fuck yourself. i loaned for 1500 and all i have to do is pay like 70 a month for 2 years… not that bad of a payment actually. ---
