i was 18 and i got financed for 18.5k, but i think thats cus i have a good bank, thank god for octfcu

 

Only because the OP was asking for our opinion on the situation yet when we gave it he got all defensive and started telling everyone he is this and that but really if he were established as he claims he was getting this car would be no problem. What I don't understand is why ask for our opinion on a situation yet when we give one that you don't agree with you have to attack our crediability? Like you did with NY's. I am glad you returned the 8 so you can go start bother the Civic Nation. That is it I am out

 

dude you got ripper off. give that car back and buy a newer for the same price

 

Thanks for reading the thread sherlock... he already gave it back.... And boy did he get "ripper" off

 

And the thread lives on.

 

On a unrelated not United Air is raising fare prices due to higher fuel costs.

 

United is trying to raise prices on everything from fees to fares. The airline industry is a desperate one.

 

I think that if you're at the age of 23 you're able to make your own decisions. If you're going to make the payments every month and take responsibility when your warranty expires then all she did was put her name on a piece of paper.

Though paying $20k for an 8 with 50k miles is pretty insane. I got my 2005 with 29k miles in December for $18k.

 

Dangit.. I didnt read the whole thread and gave my 2 cents.. He gave it back? WTF?!!

 

yeah.. where does it say he gave it back? i'm failing to see that

 

Yeah, I just went back and I dont see where he says he gave it back.. I see where he says his mom didnt sign the papers and he was going to look at an 07'....

 

OOOO... I see... So I guess he took it back? Whats the deal with you guys blowing up engines?! I have an 04 MT which seems to be the one notorious for blowing up... I have over 112K on my original engine. I guess I just need to teach some of you how to drive.... The trick is to let it warm up, then drive it like you stole it

 

^^ Flea you better be a knockin on something!

Oh there's a 100K thread here somewhere! I didn't know you had that many miles on flea. She's been good to you!

 

After seeing what's happened to both your cars, I would recommend you not teach anyone!

 

The neverending thread.

 

Ive never wrecked Flea.... DARBY and JON hit me The only damage I have ever done to her was when that poe attacked her in the parking lot. I kick *** at fast speeds in my 8.. You know it.
Glad to see Im not the only one up this late though.

 

Hijack FTW....
I carry a piece of wood with me so I can knock on it all the time...
She has been good to me, her loves her mommy... I got my spoiler today BTW, its so wierd to look in the moirror and see it there.. I like it though.

 

^ Pic?

 

Sounds like you got caught feeling secure with your fiancee's uncle. Always run a carfax on a used car. The dealer should do that for free. I also think you paid too much.

I used to sell cars for a big dealership here in florida. If you want any advice on getting the best deal, i'd be glad to help. Just PM me. For a small fee, I'll even go to the dealer with you to negotiate your deal.

 

Of the wood I carry around or the spoiler? LOL JK
Its just the OEM spoiler... I didnt want one when I first got the car and then decided at BOTD that I do like it... I just bought gr3ddy's, had it painted and put on... Nothing fancy or rice, just plain ole OEM.

 

It's much easier to finance a new car than a used one. banks are just more willing to loan for a new one. you need something like a 700 beacon or better with a long history of car credit to finance as much as he did for as long as he did with an 04. I'm actually surprised he got 72 months on that especially since he's financing well over 120 percent of the car's value. Maybe that's where the uncle "helped out." I suspect that the plan was to let you drive it for a bit, let you fall in love, then inform you that your mom's credit only qualified for this other loan. And that your new payment will be around 600 - 700 a month for 36 months with some money down (like 3-5k). Sign here, press hard.

 

If mom said get what you want, and you did, she shouldn't be pissed....

 

You guys all fail for not seeing that he returned the car but for people who can't read here you go.

 

I Paid 20,900 For A Brand New 2007 Rx-8 4 Weeks Ago. Shop Around!!!!

 

I have a son 23, he's married and is working hard to make his apartment rent and all the other required monthly payments. I can't imagine co-signing with him. The obligations of the co-signer are too much. If you fault in your payments then the bad credit will show up on her records. She has every right to voice her opinion and if she doesn't agree with what you are doing then you must abide by her wishes, no matter how you feel about th car.

My advice to you would be to get credit as mentioned previously and purchase what you can afford without your mothers help, even if it's a used 250cc scooter!

EDIT:
I didn't read the whole thread... lol... My advice still stands for anyone in this situation.
