You will <u>ALWAYS</u> get a better deal by financing with the dealer. Why? Because they get paid by the banks for doing the financing. I've sold cars at a loss for the dealership, but the dealership makes some of the money back in finance so it makes sense for them to do so.

They have to be, considering the turn around on salesman at Corwin is ~ 3 months.New guys tend to make it 3 months before they quit as not everyone can handle the stress of starting the first few days of a month off with $0 earned. USUALLY those who make it longer than that stick around for the long haul. We have (on the Honda side) over 1/2 of our sales staff who have been there at least 3 years...the Dodge side is even higher. IDK about Toyota though.

By chance are you a used car salesman? lol, I am playing with you Chuck...I like the hunger!I just want Jake to deal with someone he knows and someone who isn't going to take advantage of his noobness when it comes to auto purchases/financing. I've bought a lot of cars over the years, and I really wish I would have worked in auto sales when I was younger, I would have saved a bunch of money and gotten better deals if I had only known @ 19 what I knew @ 29.

I think dumping all the money i could into one of the shittest assets there is right now is a really poor move.
I also want to know how people are expecting to pull down 3k/mo. That's net, uncle sam gets his cut, see-it-in-the bank money?
To throw that in perspective, if you did 3k/mo net for the whole year, that's 36k year after taxes. Divide that into 50 salaried work weeks, and cut each work week into 40 hours, and that works out to $18/hr, after all taxes.
You're saying you can land a mid-$25/hr (once govt theft is added back in) sort of job and do that 40+ hours a week all summer long?
What kind of work is that?
The unemployment rate for teens and twenty-somethings is almost 30% right now, nationwide. Kids are finishing school and moving back in with their parents. The market took a shit today, the euro is about to collapse, and the dollar is probably going to go into hyperinflation within 12 months.
Now seems like a really stupid time to go into an ass ton of debt over a hyper-depreciating American V8 sedan.
Keep the car(s) you've got if they work. If they don't, fix them. Use the rest of the money you get to buy guns, minted silver and gold, and other post-collapse necessities.

Shes actually 32 haha and going to law school at UND. Yeah i know what you mean and i do want to save up some money to and i know you guys are just trying to me the truth and that it isn't all to easier. And i know what it is like for an extended period i worked there all last summer for about 2.5 months and then every sunday and saterday for the last 6 months and i have been working there for about a month.I guess I have no idea what your long term plan is, but it sounds like you are kinda set in making this a career path of some sort. The point I'm trying to make is, 2.5 months isn't a long period of time when you start talking about the the next 50 years of your life...you'd be surprised how bored you can get after multiple years of the same thing.

But i don't want to pay for it all in cash because my step mom said it will help establish credit if i just do financing and make my payments on time every time

I make about that much a month and im still broke. And I dont even have a car payment.But if I was you Id get a car. You dont work to save money, you work to spend it.
If you can get a loan go for it. Thats my problem my parents wont cosign for me, so im just saving up to pay in cash. And you can usually get a better deal paying cash.
Exactly i am working for money and i want something to show for it, something i like and wanted and that will last me through out my college years and me not having to worry.

I agree with Jason... however it is kinda hard to build credit this way (this is why i have no credit, i save and pay in cash for everything)...If his step mom is who I think she is (some lady had the same last name and bought some parts for a Bravada at work one time) iirc she looked pretty good, lol...
Exactly why i want to finance, so i can get some credit. And yes if it was the same lastname and it was for a bravada that woulda been her haha.

I ain't looking to make this a career path but this will be my career path for the next year of my life as i am waiting for my girlfriend to graduate so i can go to college where i want.
And for who ever said that me make 2.5 to 3k is before my taxes and blah blah blah. No its not that is what goes in my pocket. I have never had a paycheck smaller then 1.3k for my two weeks check.
Chuck i did happen to make it in actually tonight but you guys where closed. I was looking at price wise and figure i don't want to go with a 25k car even though that awd 300hp G35 at luther is pretty sick....I want 4 doors and roomy, i wanna be comfortable haha. I saw you guys got a 300c for about 13k and there was a charger for about 13k... I am going to have to stop by tomorrow and talk to you and get a feel for what you guys have for cars and prices.

1- how do you plan to pay for this when you do start college, or do you plan to have it paid off in a year?? BTW, the <$15k range at least sounds much more reasonable, I think most people were pointing out that ~$25k is ridiculous at your age/situation.
2- 99% of HS relationships don't last through freshman year (get to college and you'll see why:drunken_smilie:), so I don't suggest changing your whole life for a HS GF, that being said, I'm happily married to my HS GF, so it does happen, but I'm still a pessimist.
3- Most people who start working right out of HS and say they are going to go to college in a few years never do, at least not until they are way older when college is no fun. I would suggest you at least take some pre-reqs at the Tech or something and work part time so you get some credits done, it will make it easier/more fun when you do go. Also, College is an amazing good time, I wouldn't want to miss it at your age.

you know what, have fun when your young. As long as you can afford it, buy whatever the hell you want. All of the financial advice that these guys are giving you is great, and would be the smarter move. But I know what it is like to be young and want that nice car. And to be totally honest I have always had what I wanted. you can get a Mazdaspeed3 for 23k. 4 doors, turbocharged, quick, and stylish. I think that is everything on you list. Unfortunatly you cant lease one, but you can lease a mazda3 hatch for like $180/mnth. They always have some pretty decent deals up there, right now they have GREAT leasing deals.
Point is, it your money, do what you want, you have the rest of your life to be fiscally responsible.
