Or you could go to one of those "show us a paystub and two forms of ID and get credit" places that charges 21% interest. That'* where I got my '95 SE. I didn't finance the whole car but I could have.

no thanks lol. they got a lot of title loan places though, hopefully they will toe my current car away as long as I get a decent amount for it...(and tarnish my credit record in the process lol)

Yeah, the types of places that offer those types of loans typically sell "wholesale" cars too... they get you around, but you may already be driving nicer vehicles than you would find on some of those lots! I know my '95 SE was definitely a "wholesale" car, but it did get me around for a while... probably would have kept going too if I had decided to get it fixed.

are you saying that you want a loan for a car over 5yrs old with over 100k miles on it?? many banks would not be interested in loaning most people money for a car that most likely will not live through the duration of the loan, and therefore risk your non payment because you cant drive the car

Believe me, this is by far the best option... although I understand the instant gratification aspect suffers the most this way. Teach yourself now to avoid consumer debt at all costs, and you'll live a very enjoyable life with no regrets further down the road.

You must live in a sh*T location. I bought the LSS L67 when I was 20, no questions asked and got a 3 yr/ 36,000 mile powertrain warrenty. Payments are $168 a month and is at 6% interest. Come here to MN and buy from Buy Rite Motors, Austin, MN. No, i'm not spamming for them. They are just that good.
