Woah, calm down.. when did you call?  if it was today, they may be busy, either in a meeting or not have access to their phone..

sometimes people forget..

Yeah sorry, I'm just really anxious to get a damn car.

Well, the manual Accord sold, and the white Accord sold. Now all that's left is the damn silver financed one, and the TSX.

Keep looking.  You'll find something.

lol I recently had a prius. I drove the shit out of it. It it wasn't sooo slow. I would have been nicer to it. Good thing was after 80 miles it cost me 7 bucks to refill. lol

Well, I've looked at accords, a Tacoma, an f150, a Colorado, a Lexus, and a brand new gti. I believe I have finally found something that suits all of my needs, a 2010 ford exploder. My good friend has an explorer and get way better mileage that what it's rated at, plus I can put cheap gas in it . I am beginning to feel cramped in my car , as well as tired of the attention it brings. While it brings good attention from females, it attracts idiots that either want to street race or ask four hundred questions about a car that they are unable to pronounce. On top of that, I just need more space.

What y'all think of this:

I agree on not purchasing a rental car.

I've driven my fair share of rental cars, and I know for a fact that I wouldn't buy one because of the way I drive it.

I don't beat rental cars to shit, but I also don't care what type of fuel I use.  I'll fill up at the nearest gas station to the airport, which may mean Shell or Chevron, or it may mean Arco or Billy Joe Bob's Gas Station.

Plus you don't know how others drove the car.  Hitting potholes, doing donuts, brake slams, e-brake slides, etc..

Usually, people don't do that stuff with their personal vehicle.  But a rental car, that's a whole different ballgame..

Jeff, does your next car have to be an Accord or TSX?  What about taking out a small financing loan, if you can keep up with the payments?  It can help you broaden your selection and help you build your credit.  Interest rates are pretty good right now.

There's also an option of not paying off your next car with the money you get from insurance.  So, say for this example scenario:

Insurance money being received: $10,000
Car cost: $15,000

Say you were to take half of the insurance money and put it as a downpayment.  If you were to finance the other $10k for 3 years at 3% APR, you would be looking at a $291 payment, not including financing any tax.  Depending on your tax and registration cost, you may be looking at say a $300 payment.  Stretch that payment over 5 years, and you could be looking at a $180 to $190 monthly payment.

If that's a manageable monthly payment, then you're building credit for the future, and you have an extra $5k of expendable income to place in your savings account.

You also don't need to keep the loan for its whole term.  You can payoff the loan early, but make sure that you get a loan that won't penalize you for early payoff.

But that's an example.. You don't have to do it, but its another option to think about if you're willing to consider it.
