ok so i just turned 18 a few days ago and for about 2 in a half years i've been looking for a 2g eclispe i found one but after buying it and starting to work on it i found out that the car's previous onwer killed it so i sold it to a guy who had the money to fix it all :( so after that i kept looking and still no luck..... i've gone to every dealer that i have seen that has one and every time iv'e gone to every one i need a co-signer.... well there's the other bad news my family is so fucking dumb( parding my french) but none of them have anything good on there credit. and i don't have enough credit to do anything with. so what 'm trying to say is there anyone who could help me out here i really love these cars and i would love to have one again that runs tho lol so help me out please!!!!

I dont get it? Are you looking for someone to cosign? Or you looking for someone selling their car for cheap? If you go dealer ship, prepare for the max on what the car is worth. Why not save money and just buy the car all at once without a loan. So you can get it done and over with.

I seriously doubt that you'll find anyone here that will co-sign a loan for someone they don't know.

Shit I had a hard time getting my own father to cosign my student loans.. Don't buy from a dealer you will get raped. Buy a beater car and save up to buy a 2g if once you have the money you decide you still want one.

We have all been young and wanted something we couldn't afford, and I'll tell you a loan isn't the best way to go about it. Get a credit card and use it only to make gas purchases. Then pay the balance off every month and you will have good credit in no time.

no i'm not asking for someone on here to cosign for me cuz that would be really stupid of me to do. but i am asking is anyone selling a car for cheap and can do payments i can afford that. the reason why i can't save is because every time i start my parrents( who i still live with) make up some bogus bill that i have to pay and poof there goes my money but when i use my mony for bills and stuff like that they never ask so if i have to pay a mothly payment for a car i don't have to worrie about them asking for more money.

Don't let your parents know that you have anything in savings.

If you have to open a different savings account at a different bank that they can't see. If you don't have visible cash they can't come up with bogus ways to take it from you.

yeah true but thats still the problem parrents they gey through my shit all the time and it's getting old so if i do put my money into a bank some were else they are going to find all my paper work

Get a separate P.O. Box.

You say you just turned 18, are you still in high school or something? If not, just man up and move the fuck out. Buy yourself a $100-$300 beater to get you around until you can afford something you really want.

I hate to be a prick, wait... I dont.

Here's what you're going to do:

1. You are going to get a pos second gen. Find one for $2k or less or you're getting robbed.

2. You are also going to get the cheapest honda accord you can find. They run. Who gives a shit what it looks like? When your dsm breaks (and it will) you'll need something to drive.

3. You are going to move out. Find room mates. Trust me on this. Your parents will take everything they can fucking get from you. I'm not discussing this further. All i know is the only way i've gotten free from being a "care giver" is my gf and i are having a kid and to me, that kid is more importaint than my family's disfunctionality and financial despair. Fuck em. They'll get over it eventually. Keep that in mind. You'll have more money on your own, providing you SPEND IT IN AN INTELLIGENT MANNER AND DONT PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR. Infact, party as little as possible unless it's on somebody else's tab. Keep your wallet in the glove box!

very true well i so far have 800 saved up and i still have the car my parrents gave me wich is funny cuz they think they can take it but really they cant cuz they sign the tittle over to me wich is were they fucked up. but if i sell it i don't have a car to drive until i can get my hands on a dsm again. and fixing them isn't to hard cuz my neibor has three of them two for street and the other one is set up for drag( it's pretty sick) and they have a shit load of extra parts they would give me (i know cuz they have before:) )and if i eever need help fixing it they said they would... so now i just need to know if i should sell it and go get a dsm and cuz i most likely will have some left over should i get a bike also so that way i can drive that while the dsm is down or being fixed????

after reading that post, obviously you should save that money and go to school...

I agree. Put your money where it will benefit you more. Simply buying something that will depreciate or simply break doesn't make any sense if thats all you have. What happens when you put all this money into it and it breaks down? Then whatever way you slice it, you're fucked. I say take that $800 and invest it in something that will help you educate yourself to get a better job and pay for nicer things down the road. But hey, who am I to judge?

Do like me . Study at the university , get paid for it , and you got it in no time :P, and if there 's a Bogus bill to pay. Do like me. Say NO, or impossible or simply tell them next month. a month after ... Next month again. Rinse and repeat ( And my bills are not bogus and I pay them eventually )




If you can't remember it . you didn't do it !
