I'm almost ready tO call :duck: on the story cuz most places won't even finance a whip that old.
buy here pay here will finance damn near anything. they usually make the cars up and the down payment is actually paying the real value of the car and everything else is profit.

I'm not going to judge you. You did what you felt you had to do. Some people have a leg up in this world so they'll never understand. They can only speak from their experience.

Just take this as a learning experience and keep it moving. All situations change. These dudes in here clowning might be middle class this year and facing eviction the next.

The only thing you fukked up on is sharing this shyt with the forum. You got upset when people went in. Don't share Ls you can't laugh about yourself. These nikkas are just looking for daps, reps, lols and :pachaha:s. nikkas need to start posting sensitive information on the appropriate messageboards if they aren't built for the backlash.

You say the new gig is close to home? Like MARTA distance? If so you might want to "get rid" of that car and collect. No reason not to fukk over the system that fukked you. :manny:

dog, i still cant comprehend:

why you would agree to 28% interest

why you would finance an 11 year old car.


the general rule of thumb is:

never agree to more than 9% interest.

never finance a car that is more than 3 years old.

the easiest way to establish credit is to get a credit card and keep it current for about 3 years as your first credit item.

too many people get phones and utility bills and fukk em up and shoot themselves in the foot before 21. too many people are SCARED of credit and you gotta just educate yourself about it.

i started at 18, and if i had more income and didnt owe as much in student loans, i could easily be approved to buy a home at 26.

i copped my car new at 22 and only had 6% interest...goddamn at 28...

yeah breh but that general rule of thumb only applies to ppl who are well versed with financing cars

shyt my dad has worked at a dealership for at least 25 yrs and this nikka has never ever sat me down and talked to me personally about buying/researching on a car....all the info I've ever gotten was from threads like these on here, sohh and the IC

its not like you learn this shyt in school either......

the only time ppl learn about financing options is when they're knee deep and/or sitting across the table from someone willing to sign away their life

the same shyt applies to houses too.....

Job is in alpharetta, ga. It's literally 27 miles away (1 way, 54 both) and the shift starts at 6 am. Marta starts at 5, but the first bus out there is probably 6:30 or so. There was going to be no way I'd be able to make it out there. Borrowed my friends car for one day but that wasn't going to continue working (long story). Called in to work that one day and left vm telling them I was going to have to go look for a car that day and when I got back next day, they were like they didn't even RECEIVE a vm. Bs! They were already trying to get me out of there man, or so it seems.

atlanta doesn't have good public transportation? I usually start work between 8-830 or so. but my commute is like 26 miles each way. so we have the same commute. but that being said, even if I started @ 6am, I could take the train out there regardless. for my commute, I gotta take two trains and the bus. and I usually take public transport 2 days a week, drive 2 days a week, and work from the crib the other day. if I were in ur situation, I'd definitely try to take public transportation if that were an option.

Never do this. It's called negative equity. They buy off your old car loan and roll it into the new car loan. Now you're stuck with a car loan that's worth more than the car. On top of that if you put nothing down the depreciation of the car may outpace your loan payments.

if you get into some shyt and you need to dump that car you'll be unable to sell it being upside down on the loan. Basically the only way out of the loan is to accelerate payments and get right side up then sell or to take a repo and fukk your credit and after the repo you'll still owe money. The difference between your loan and what the car sold for and it was upside down to boot.

on top of that she got a new 2012? That car took a huge depreciation hit the moment she drove it off the lot. Putting nothing down guarantees you're gonna be upside down in the loan.

exactly. my wife did this shyt like 4 years ago, and I wanted to strangle her.

@ Klyk21, how many years u got on this 28% loan? that loan is so fukked up. at least if the car were newer, you'd have a chance of possibly refinancing that loan after a year. but no one is gonna refinance a loan on an 01 vehicle. did they at least give a carfax so u can see if the car has ever been in a wreck or flood?

nikka you just need to move back home with your momma. You aren't built for life right now.
I actually laughed at this...fukk you cuz :pachaha:. Just opened a credit union savings/high rate checking so i'll be closing my wells fargo account's once I get all information back. Appreciate the advice given about that bruh. Going to probably keep the car and just refinance after a yr or so with the credit union (unless i can do it earlier) and get my % down some. My total debt is only about -6-8k pending on how long it takes me to pay this off. I'm paying for school outta pocket right now (partially the reason I didn't have much money for a $2000 car) combined with HOPE scholarship. Had to buy books and everything literally 1 week before my car went out. Again, CFU! Appreciate all the advice but I'm going to be ok. I :salute: that offered positive/neutral advice. To those that were just in here to try to kick a dude when he a little down....

i hope you understand that there are businesses out there called predatory lenders that prey on the working poor and poor people. when you're poor and a catastrophe happens you don't have many options. banks aren't gonna fukk with you. you probably don't know many people that have the disposable income to lend you money or give you money.

these are the sorts of people that go to buy here pay here lots, that go to rent a center, that go to pay day loan places. they do those things to keep afloat. these businesses fukk them over criminally too.

many people probably even ones posting in this very thread are barely above water and if something goes wrong those sorts of places would be the only thing between them and rock bottom.

Jist think at how your credit score will rise:myman:

Plus, play lottery every once in a while. U might win:yeshrug:
many of those lots don't report your credit unless you fall behind and they have to repo. its a business based on selling cars to people that can't really afford them. its why they make you pay biweekly cause at some point they know you're likely to default on the loan.

they make it both as easy and as difficult as they can for you to repay the loan. they give you small biweekly payments so you can pay back as much as possibly before they repo the car. when you inevitably fall behind they repo the car then put it back on the lot and sell it again. its like pimping cars to poor people. by the time the car is resold its already made a good profit and its all gravy.

exactly. my wife did this shyt like 4 years ago, and I wanted to strangle her.
people do it all the time. the new lender makes money off buying your old car loan and basically extending the term and on top of that it gets added into the new car so they increase the interest they make there too.

these car lots are in the business of making money so they aren't just gonna be out here giving money away. pretty much everything they do is a win for them and typically at your expense. if you still own money on a drivable car unless you owe less than the trade in value you have no business trading it in.
