[QUOTE="Mike Troll, post: 1806971, member: 567091"] I was in your situation at 19...not so good credit, not a lot of money down and crap for income weekly. The dealership will **** you, I almost signed the paperwork on a $23,000 mazda 6, that after financing and fees and all that BS was almost $42,000. Get a decent used car that you can afford. the one thing I recommend is make sure your payments are no more than what you make in a pay period AT THE VERY MOST. (I get paid weekly so I had a little less room to play with) When I bought my Mountaineer I was working at Mcdonalds bringing home about $250 a week. My payments on the Mounty are $228 now that I am older and have a much nicer job it doesnt hurt me and in fact my check weekly is a little over double what I pay monthly. I guess what I am trying to say is dont try and keep up with your friends, some of us just werent meant to be spoon fed. I feel awesome everytime I get in my truck knowing that it is 100% mine and I make 100% of the payments. (I only say that cause my friends that drive nice cars have a silver spoon in there mouth) So get a car you can afford (tiburon is an awesome suggestion BTW) pay it off and drive the shit out of it and save for that 350Z later on in life.
