Question:

Answers:
which car should i get? guys you know more about cars! HELP ME!?
I would visit different dealers too. At one dealer-I was offered 600, another 1,000, and another 2200. Obviously, different opinions among dealers just miles apart.
Pick the car I am going to buy!?
Depending on your situation, i'd say it's worth it even to take the hit in order to lower payments and start saving some money. Unfortunately, that's how the system works.
As for cars, i'd recommend anything used and has a warranty. If you're not loyal to a car brand, i'd go with Ford---possibly getting a Taurus. Oldsmobile and GM are also great cars to own and most mechanics are reasonable should the warranty not cover. Toyota would be my next choice.
Congratulations of your engagement. Trade your car in for something you're comfortorable in. Don't settle just cause you want to lower your payments. Good luck!
nope
what price do I stick to when purchasing a new car?
You are to up side down to get to a better spot you would have to roll your negative equity and you won't find another car that will carry that. Also as a rule the more negative you roll the hire your interest will be. Also your credit is more or less out of the picture at this point being a second buy. This is where your income becomes the biggest influence.What is the usual car loan term?
those payments will be hard to come by. if you put a big down payment on it then it would be a better chance of getting 250 payments. i pay 257 a month for my 99 grand am. i do have a high interest rate though bcuz i was 18 when i bought it with no credit. and a cosigner. i would say your element would trade for around 18k to 22k. depending on mileage and equipment... good luck.More Questions & Answers ...
