665 a month, 0 down for 72 months with 3000 negativity in trade in.200 a month for insurance right here in So Cal. Union ironworker. 5000 gross per month

 

Great googly moogly. This is why I couldn't afford one
I pay 470/month for 60 months and I didn't put anything down either.

 

Geez no wonder it seems like everybody and their mother can afford an evo, because you guys are paying a ****load each month for payments!!!

Honestly, are most of you dumping your whole month's paycheck into your evo's? Along with insurance i'm assuming most of you that "didn't put any down" are paying around $700-800 a month. Are any of you struggling to make payments?

I'm a full time college student with 2 jobs, and my eclipse has been paid off since day 1 (dad payed for it ). I "was" shopping for a new car a few months ago, but every car I wanted the payments were going to be $250-300 a month. And that is after putting $13000 down. Note that I don't need to pay for my own insurance neither.

And I already find $300 a big struggle for me so I decided to wait a while. I could technically afford to make $500 payments, but that would mean cutting back on the daily luxaries such as buying clothes, food, misc stuff, going out etc etc.

I know people that drive nice cars and go home to a dinky apartment with no food in the fridge, and/or people that drives supras, but has $5 in their checking accounts.

Are all of you rich *****es or are you scraping by each month just to afford the evo?

 

Heres my theory, to be able to afford a msrp car of $32,500(example the EVO8), one must at least make $32,500 a year. If you dont make this much at least, dont try to buy it.

 

I'm a fulltime student with a parttime job, and I don't make 30g+ a year. However, I can afford the Evo comfortably (parents did not help at all). It's all about smart planning. I saved and dropped 15g's down, so that made my payments 300/month+125/month for insurance. That's like paying for any other car.

 

Now that is the idea and the way to get your ! That is probably what i will be doing in mid 04. 5-10k down with lower payments....sweet!

 

oops....that is the quote, not the other!

 

damn how you get these insurance rates. Iguess my sr-22 bull**** for doing NOTHING doesnt help. I pay more for the insurance a month than i do for the car. 449 month insurance!!! tell me about it !!!

 

15000 down, financed 13750 at $475.55 a month

 

yeah, theories are funny like that. i'm 30. make $15,000 a year and own my evo clear. my insurance is $250 a month for just straight liability. but i have been a model citizen lately so that will be dropping to $200.

 

MAXR, I guess your living on crumbs and water then. A person making $15,000 a year clearly cannot afford a msrp $32,500 car. Damm! $250 a month for liability, thats outrageous.
What I mean about my statement is, the average person dont live with mamma and pappa, lives comfortably without scrambling for money every month, ma and pa didnt pay for your ride and ect.

 

Maybe his wife is making $100k+

 

28,900 not 32,500. I don't live with ma or pa and neither bought my car. I don't know why you say a person making $15,000 a year clearly can't afford an evo. It doesn't happen overnight though. Long term investments and serious sacrifces have to be made.

 

Look man, an average apartment is $600 a month. Take that by 12 and your at $7200 a year for rent. Throw your $250 a month insurance and times that by 12 equals $3000. Now your closer to $!0,200. You gotta eat too. Your gettin the picture......... Your $15k a year aint cutting it. Maybe you save $28,000 to put down through the years but other people dont even have $1000 in their bank account. $28,900, either you got the greatest deal on earth or you just got the EVO without the spoiler and moonroof. I got the spoiler and sunroof so msrp is around $32,500 and that doesnt even include taxes and ect.

 

I barely make 17,000 a year, and full time student. I'm 20.

It's called living off of Top Ramen.

or it's called OD'ing on sodium.

Either way, I'm getting by.
