Pros:keep the car, Dont have to get full insurance, resale value.

I financed my car for around 20, for 4 years 500 a month. Sucks, but worth it in the end. next time im only doing 2-3 years max.

I financed mine in 2006.
$314/month @ 6.5%

Still owe a little under $1,400

Also bought the $3K extended warranty from CarMax. (Won't be doing that again.)

My next car I'll be paying cash.

It's not hard to make payments, but it is annoying imo. I would rather save and pay up front and not have to worry about payments later.

Ehh one of the most reliable high performance engines/trannies you can buy for less than 25k. ImoNo maintaeince expenses yet. Dealer did all service for free thus far

Mase........what kinda car was it? Everyone got they own opinion but I'm leasing my next whip. No money down, insurance paid out for the year, no maintenance worries. An in 2-3 years gettin the next hot thing. I've never financed a car yet, my current car was paid cash an all I had to worry about was maintainin it. Cars change just as fast as cell phones an who wants the same cell phone for 5 years?

bruh... jus because you buy a car with X amount of years financed doesnt mean you hafta keep it for X amount of years

im in a 5 year for the G, i wanted to keep my payments a bit under 3 hundred...

i will be selling it in prob 2 years and upgrading to a newer one, or da hemi

basically the key is to have good credit which im assuming you do which is why u wanna lease. which CAN be a very attractive option if the money factors right but same with buying... good credit means low int rate means not throwing away as much money as lease down payment + expenses. plus also having the ability to drive as many miles as u want... they rape you when you try and bring it back too from what i understand and do lil knick knack charges so you owe them another grand or two

if you goto a credit union and finance you could prob get 4% or under on a used car for 5 years

 ... interest isnt bad at all... throwin away a cpl extra grand but meh youll hafta do that to get into a lease for anything half decent. plus 0 down usually means base model

i understand where your coming from tho... usually you can get about a 4 year newer brand new car for the same payments and its like

When i got the infiniti fx35 last month, i got onto a 6 year plan which is 340$ a month. Im startin to think that may not be a good idea cause the car is 2007 and has 71k miles :/

Whoa! No bueno.

 

[jewseejay]

/\ not as bad as it seems... he got a reliable vehicle with a very high resale value... pullin those payments his interest rate is in the 6-8% range which is fine... drive the car till 90 summin k... sell. basically u leased a pretty nice fx for 340 a month, w/ whatever your downpayment is.

as long as the FX doesnt have any mechanical issues soon your money G... not the ideal situation but your driving a nice car for a respectable payment

 

[i3allistic]

No more Car notes 

btw, don't bother wasting your money on extended warranty ....

Ahh the proxes 4. For A car like that I would've imagined you slapping on the proxes T1R. I'm currently running proxes4 right now...they're alright, but the sidewalls are a bit soft. I think I might go to Costco and cop the Michelin AS Plus next in a month or two...anybody have any other All-season high performance tire recommendations?

 

[airupthere301]

Almost done upgrading the look of the car. It's been a big project but I'm almost there. Only thing left is coil overs and a big break kit (current wheels make them look super small).

Me and my boy's 3000GT's

Thanks for the input man. I bought the car for 21,500, with taxes it came up to 26k. I put a 4500$ downpayment which now i owe 21 something. The car has no problem so far *knock on wood* however yesterday the ac was blowing out warm air, gonna get that checked out tomorow.

^By any chance is that a VR-4?

My 3000GT is not a VR-4. The purple one is a VR-4, though that makes ~600 hp to the wheel (the pictures were taken at an AWD car meet and he dyno'd his car there). I mostly focused on looks and in car entertainment because getting the car anywhere close to those numbers would cost more than the car is worth 

. Maybe after I get a BRZ I'll upgrade the engine to it's max potential, but for now I just want the car to be reliable.

 

[dabigboi]

My new whip.

 

[scshift]
