I'm 15, and will be 16 next July. However, I am looking around for cars. I have been offered my grandmas BMW, but I don't know if she'll give it up lol. And I'd like to save some of the money I've earned.
So based on the prices I've read on the Cruze, it's around $17000. I have enough to pay it off completely, opposed to financing.
Should I get the Chevy Cruze which releases this year? Pros/cons? Though many of you probably haven't driven in it unless you tested it at a sponsored event or something.
And, should I finance with about a $166 monthly payment with $5000 cash down on a 72 month loan? Or should I just pay it off, and not worry about a monthly payment?
If I financed, I could establish credit... ??
I'm going to buy brand new. As far as I'm concerned, newer cars are more safer. The Cruze comes equipped with 10 airbags. Who cares if the insurance is double? My parents will pay that.
they'd be more helpful then some 1990's cars which come with nothing! YOU'LL DIE. I buy brand new, and to be honest, my grandparents (my guardians) would not allow but a new vehicle to sit in there driveway!
You guys have got it all wrong. First off, I prefer newer cars opposed to older cars. I can afford it perfectly fine. I like the 2011 Chevy Cruze. It's a nice car. Japanese? Hell no. I will never drive a Toyota.
If I get in a fender bender, first off, it's called you take it to the shop and get it fixed. Second off, have you ever heard of a loaner car? Yeah, that's where you get a car. And even if I didn't do that, my grandparents have more than one car. They have 4, a 2009 bmw sedan, a 2008 cadillac escalade, 2007 ford truck, and then my grandpa has a brand new avalanche. So obviously they don't drive these cars all at once. They're only two people and my grandma runs a business from home.
Thanks to the one person who could actually be somewhat helpful..
and I want a new car. forget the safer part, but it is safe.
I can finance it by putting it under my name and my grandparents, duh. My grandparents have excellent credit, so no problem there.
