Default In need of a daily!

As you all may or may not know, I blew the motor in my S and am currently working on getting it rebuilt.. Which leaves me in a bind. I cannot seem to get financed anywhere because I already have an auto loan (s2000).

So my question to you guys is if anyone knows someone with a reliable and at least sort of nice DD I can finance personally through the owner. I can put a down payment down no problem, the pay monthly.

As far as legal protection:

I have a Legal template for a bill of sale, which would include our names, the vehicle info, the sale amount, monthly payment, ETC that would get notarized by a witness in a legal office, so that it would hold up in court if either party got screwed over.

As far as my background, Im a sargent in the US Air Force, im a homeowner, and a father. I am not trying to screw anyone over, just in need of help!

lemme know if anyone can help out!!

Thanks,
Steve

I would look into a personal loan from a bank to fix the motor.

Already did that. so now its just a waiting game, the motor is pulled, the majority of the replacement parts have been bought, found a suitable machine shop, ETC. But it is all very costly and time consuming. And I do realize Im shooting for the stars with this post, however maybe I will fall into some good luck this holiday season lol!

That will cost an arm and a leg. A chevy Aveo at a monthly rate is $900 per month.

Buy a cheap beater equal to the downpayment and dispose of it or sell it when you're done.

Yepppp.

There's plenty of super cheap beaters. Dailying a 91' Civic EF isn't that bad.

I have taken that route too, I went down to Dallas to pick up a cheap 1990 civic EF I paid $800 and then on my way home the motor blew. when I called the number back it was already disconnected. I got had on that one... but I guess thats partially my fault.
