i'm gonna admit, i aint that rich, being a college student, and part time worker. how did u guys pay off your ~$35k s2000? some ppl here seems to have pay off their car pretty easily (like, buying more than one s2000?)
i'm thinking of this: pay 5k down payment, then like 400-500/month. is that a good idea? any recommendations for somebody like me, or should i wait til after college when i have a full-time job?

 

I put money down and paid $500 for 3 years.

 

I,m from the uk and had a good month backing US horses to lose on a betting exchange ,paid in full around $42000 here

 

my parents
but i gave them 4000 dollars that i saved up when it was purchased
i meant i would work to pay for car but US government wont let me
i have visa that not eligible to work here

 

How much did you guys put down to pay around $500 a month? I'm thinking of picking up an 04 and i think i will be able to put 10k down.

 

i'm a college student with an S. of course, i'm in a little different boat cuz i'm in a commissioning program for the military and get paid a good amount to do what i do.

personally, i put 12k down, got a 3 year loan @ 3.29%, and pay a little of 600/month i think. plus, i pulled out 20k in college loans to turn her into a show car. of course, 20k wasn't enough, but i'm not stopping til i'm finished.

 

I don't think 5k down is gonna cut it for a $400-$500 payment. I think you may need something in the area of 10-12 down for a payment like that.

 

My S cost $27,900 and I put up $1750 and pay $560.59 a month for 60 months. I am currently on my 26th payment and owe a little under $17,000 right now.

I am trying to have my car paid off by August 2005.

 

Paid cash... My02 $31,9 new and another $3400 for hardtop and rack installed.

 

i sold drugs for 3 months and cashed my new s2000.
