Buying & Selling - May 2007

I'm getting a 2008 C-Class when I turn 16. Most people at my school, mostly the older kids (I'm 14), have trashy, stupid and rundown cars. I want to blow the school away with my entry level Mercedes Benz.

I know damn well, I can not come up with $38,000 cash, so I must lease. Will they lease? Will they lease to my mom, my dads credit if messed up, so not happening.

BTW: If they say they are unable to, then theres going to be some car windows busted into at the dealership, and thats a promise!

Right now I have a 1995 Firebird. It gets horrible gas mileage, it's bad in bad weather, it has no storage space, it's not that fast, and it's starting to fall apart. And Kelly Blue Book says that it's only worth like $4500. I want to get a new pick-up or small SUV that'll be better in the bad weather and probably get better gas mileage. I'm not really strapped for cash, but I don't drive that much and it's going to, at least, double my insurance if I get a new vehicle so it's not really going to save me any money. I've had the car for 9 years, but I'm done with my sports car phase. What do you think?

I have owned my current vehicle for 10 months. I desperatley want to trade it in for a new vehicle. However, trading it in would mean adding 6k of negative equity. This makes the new vehicles price much higher than it is worth and requiring $1800 down. However, if I do not trade in my vehicle, my payments would be lower and I would only need $500 down. Yes I know this would be horrible to have on my record. However, I actually had a repo 3 years ago (and was still able to finance a vehicle). Not to mention by keeping this newer vehicle and making all successful payments it should prove that I was responsible.

I have 2 1995 Hondas. Both are fine running cars. One is a 4dr Civic DX @ 97k purple. The other is an Accord EX @ 92K Tan. I have a 42 mile commute to work one way.

I like the Accord the best BUT its a V-6 and with gas @ 3.50 a gallon it kills me to take it anywhere outside town. It runs awesome and is A-1 Shape.

The Civic is my work car, its not as nice of a car BUT its cheap to fill up and I only carry liabilty it so its cheap to insure. Its @ about 100k so it needs the timing belt and water pump done and it needs rear brakes. Otherwise its its fine.

The accord needs nothing. The Timing belt and water pump were done by the prior owner.

I have a friend interested in the Civic but he tells me he can't afford to buy it at this time. I know if I sold the Accord myself I could get back all the money I paid for it(Bought it last October when the lease on my 04 Camry was up).

I figure keep the civic till my friend wants it then take the money from both n buy a new car

I am in the process of helping my mother purchase a new vehicle.. Opinions aside about purchasing new, I need help calculating the monthly payments.

We have the price negotiate to where we want it but right now we're playing the numbers game with the interest rate. I have taken their quoted monthly payment and plugged in all the info to various "Auto Loan Calculators" on the net and all of them say different things.. What I'd like to do is, while at the dealer prior to signing, is to sit down and calculate what her payments SHOULD be vs. what they say it will be. Unfortunately I will be without the aide of a computer, only a calculator. I just want to verify that their not padding the monthly payments.

Thanks!

I'm kind of confused..if leasing a car means that u don't actually own the car, why people do that?? what's the benefit of any of these two methods?

2007-05-25 05:27:24 · 5 answers · asked by cine d 1

The car I want to purchase was a recovered stolen vehicle with a PRIOR salvaged title which means:

An insurance company pays a claim for a vehicle that has been stolen, the owner assigns the title to the insurance company. The insurance company becomes the owner of the vehicle. If the vehicle is recovered, the insurance company must apply for a salvage title.

I can not find any one who will give me a loan to purchase this vehicle... does anyone know of anyone who will finance me?

I would like to get whatever I can for it, and it doesn't seem like it'd be worth it to donate it, something about a minimum donation to get a writeoff. The engine is relatively new, and should be salvageable, and it still runs fairly well, but needs about 800 of work to pass inspection. It's a '91 Accord. Does anyone know where I can sell it to a salvage yard in the Houston Area?
