well. I liv with my parents. But i dont plan on moving out anytime soon and im 21.

Id say just buy a cheaper s2k. Dont spend over 18k take home. Find a nice 02. I searched 3 months before i found mine.

So...in all. Id refinance, but dont screw yourself! A college grad deserves a nice car

I bought an '04 S2000 the day before my Graduation ceremony, hahaha Lifes to short to worry about your savings, at least while your 21. Buy this stuff now, becuase when you get married you can forget it

PS. I just paid off $10,000.00 CC bill, was in debt for a while, everything, and I mean everything I buy now is CASH (even my Greddy Turbo Kit) , CC's and High-interest loans are bad bad news........

You seem impulsive, just like me.

It's a slippery slope yo..there will always be something better out there..don't rush it. Get a place, save a couple of bucks and do it when it's right.

Bringing back this topic because situations have changed a bit.

I now own a house, have roughly 6,500 left on the Civic and was wondering if I should try to pay off the civic and lease a 08 gpw s2k.

Or the trade in which they offered 15K for my Civic, yes.. its low and unfortunate for a 22-23k car in only approx 1 yr 1/2. almost 14k on the car...


Monthly be $305 for 3 yrs
OSP: $32,998 fo t he s2k

Of course overtime, the residual may build overall due to lease... Was wondering what you all think.... I can't seem to find a 05 white anywhere or I would maybe consider a used one since its a lot cheaper...
If you are going to lease, get all the cash back from your trade. Ideally you do not want to put money down on a lease. You could probably wait and find a white used and trade your civic in and finance for the same pmt you are looking to lease at. Patience!!! The deal fairy will come through for you.

Pay off the civic and keep it as a daily. Hold off on the s2000 until you clear all debts. I mean seriously, ask Suze Orman. She'll deny you, lol!
Too much debt and not enough in savings.
LMAO!!! Suze Orman FTW!!! "You are denied, denied, denied!" In all seriousness though like others have said there will be plenty of S2K's out there on the market when you're ready. I waited 8 years and trust me it was well worth the wait.
