haha! that reminds me of those toyota commericals where the owners wreck their cars to get a new toyota.

 

Those damn ads... I still can't believe that a major corporation is airing ads encouraging insurance fraud.

 

Kind of like the Home Depot commercials where the woman tears apart her kitchen so she has to get a new one...only without the insurance fraud.

 

And what did we learned from this post? Also, why would you want to be in 8k debt just for mods? If your business is doing so well just wait out a month or two and u can start building.

 

If you want to get a large chunk of $ right away for mods, the ONLY way to do it is to finance more of the car and put less down. When I financed I figured out the max payments I'd be comfortable making and how much of a loan that was, and when I sold my old car I put enough down to cover the rest of the car cost, and kept a large chunk for mods and to assist in making payments for the first year.

That's the ONLY way you can do it without screwing yourself over. As it is now I've been able to easily make my payments and buy things for the car, I graduate in May and my larger income should easily cover payments then.
