well after a 2 year battle with BOFA to take 2 ''delinquencies'' from my credit they finally did it.

and after talking with the bank for a loan so i could get a 03 sebring with 36**** and get approved i had a change of heart.

loan and insurance were @ 420 a month. (not bad considering i had a accident a cople of years back) By all means i could even buy it cash if i wanted but, thats just it i been saving really hard, i dont really drive that much and well yeah. i dont c the point of me getting a newer car RIGHT now since the one i have right now was a steal. (600 for a 96 protege dx, 5speed, 166*** miles)

soooo yeah. i Will get an s but not, just, right, now.

i'll probably end up getting a really good credit card and pay the balance RELIGIOUSLY.

 

I must commend you. You have made a very difficult (for most) but very wise decision. To be honest I can not afford the S I have, but to sell it now that it's almost paid off, would lose me even more money.

Again congrats and keep saving.

 

thanks man,
it was a hard decision cause since i got to america in 01 and saw the S i was pretty much sold.

what can i say, there is always next year.

 

More power to you man. I'd keep the Protege if you only paid $600 for it. Look at it this way, you still have plenty of years ahead of you to own an S!

 

It's just a car. Being able to sleep at night is far more important.

Better this than a few years down the line get a nice fat serving of regret as you see where you are and where you could have been if you were a little more disciplined.

We all have to make decisions like that, the first one is the hardest.

 

thumbs up to you OP, your day will come, patience is a virtue and will pay off, believe me

 

 

I disagree.....Oil will not be around to use for pleasure that much longer.
