notes on a vehicle are a backwards step in todays economy...Id buy something cheap just to avoid having a note...then save up to pay cash for a nicer vehicles...that is part of whats wrong wth America today....people want what they can't afford to pay cash for

That's a debate like politics and religion. Your on one end or the other. 90% of America can't afford to pay cash for a house either.

I could use the mark on my credit too. I have a charge off when I lost mu job a few yrs ago that killed me

most can not afford because they live beyond their means with no preperation for the future.....Ive had hard times like many...gone without way of transportation or even electricity in the house I lived....but one must make sacrifices to get ahead in life.....

Yea I'm in the rebuilding process myself. But I need to start somewhere. And buying land and building my own house will be the best thing I've ever done/put money into. 12 yrs of carpentry have paid off 10fold on side jobs alone. Now my " young and dumb" yrs are behind me I'm ready for this. Finally

I currently have a 7th gen civic and it spins like a top. I love it for a DD. I've had it for almost a year not and haven't had a single hiccup. But, I don't know the 8th gens very well.

I pay kbb private party value at dealers....not sure where CPO comes in on that.

Prices are almost always very negotiable. Especially if you find 2 similar cars and can get the dealers to bid on them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif got my wife's car from 12,000 to 8,200

Yea. Still like that 08 ex. If I could get it out the door for 13.5 I think I would be more than happy

Depends on how you handle them. Im 22 with 2 kids and my car loan payment is $140 a month. Every month I pay $200+ on it. I went from a 13000 car down to a 8000 car in a year.
