thanx for recognizing that. considering my car b4 this was a 92' corolla i was really grateful to get this car. i put a lot of work and money into it and the list of mods i had for the future, is longer than a description of a Porsche Cup Car. been a car enthuasist since birth but this was my first ride to really embrace the motorsport bug with my OWN car. so im pretty bummed but hopeful at the same time...

Cheers

vizionclk430

I'm assuming you did not get the gap insurance option on the loan if you are worried about that pay off amount?

tnb1786

i dont believe thats included in my policy

So is this the last we'll hear from that 430?

Are you planning to get another W208? I found A LOT for sale at a very reasonable price. Most of them are in EXCELLENT condition. Let me know bro. I'll be willing to help you out if anything.

tnb1786

W208 AMG is an option ive considered but my cousin doesnt want..
W220 01'-04 is wat i want and my cousin is considering...
SRT8 Charger is wat my cousin wants and i dont want...

my credit is in the 4's so i took over payment buy just paying on the current loan that my cousin had. after the balance was paid off the pinks wouldve been given to me. but it looks like im starting all over again with a new loan. so technically the car was never MINE. but in a sense it WAS cuz it was my financial responsiblity. the point is my cuz has FINAL say so in wat car i end up with. all i can do sell the sh*t out him on the cars i want and hopefully he'll accpet. its all up in the air right now...

wow. you really should jump back in that tercel and get your paper straight homie. if you cant cop in cash, dont.

tnb1786

im confused on wat tercel your talking about...and curious on why you would give me financial advice based apon ur random opinion with no understanding of the issue at hand.

thanx but no thanx on the advice...

whiteclk

Meant corolla. The issue at hand is clear. You have terrible credit. You couldn't afford to pay off a $7500 loan in cash. If you cant afford to buy something in cash, dont! It's that simple.
But don't take my advice. Wind yourself further into debt. Worsen your credit score. Your life not mine homie.

tnb1786

one thing i agree with you on is that my credit is shot. wat ur failing to understand is the loan is not mine. and just as any other person that LEASES a car or gets a auto LOAN for the car, they make payments. its not common that the auto owners in this forum or even the crazy ballers on 6speedonline.com have paid there car in full. its a waste of money to out right buy a car cuz cars are a bad investment and they depreciate to quickly. refi'ing and getting new leases is the smartest option to continue to have cash flow and have the choice to get something different after a lease expires or if you refi your loan for better rate or make additional principal payments to pay it off enough to get ANOTHER loan with a different car. the fast paste drop of the value of mercedes or any luxury vehicle is too rapid to keep up with. i cant speak for you but some of us dont have 7'gs lying around to pay off cars and pay off loans in full at any given moment. your giving the same advice that could apply to a home loan, DONT buy a home unless you can it off in cash. cmon if that was the case to pay off everything as soon as u want it i wouldnt have credit at all which is a far more worse situation.

tnb1786

btw my debt is cleared brotha i never mentioned being in debt currently, my score is fuked cuz of it in the past. so i wont be winding down in tunnel of additional debt. i got rent and a cell phone bill...thats it!

Sorry to hear about the damage to your car.No cop in his right mind would perform the pit manuever at 100 mph...but I get your point.
