Start Saving Now...

Im thinking NOW is a GREAT time to start saving up for the down payment on an 09 TL. At $500 a month, by the time the 09's come out, we can have $6,000 saved up either for a down payment on the purchase, or a huge Cap-Cost Reduction on the Lease payments!

NOW IS THE TIME!!!


I sold My 06 in may and im kind of missing it now! Im excited about the 09 TL especially after seeing all of the improvements that Honda made to the accord....seeing that means the TL is gonna have to be really nice!

I start saving/investing for my next car the day I purchased the last.. Saving $500 a month has you ready to upgrade at near anytime you want given a trade-in or private sale. The tough part is saving up/only paying cash from the get-go... That way you never have a car loan.

I hate interest/cost of borrowing money....

Boy, do I agree with KJ 100%. I am not rich, but I have never bought a car using time payments, and that includes 5 used cars and nine new cars. You just have to be patient and prudent.

I was thinking along the same line earlier this year, telling myself it's worth the wait (about 18 months) .... then one trip down to the local Acura dealer & all hell broke loose ... LOL ...

Now I'm "deeply" in debt but at least I have a type-s toy to play with ..

Either way one can't go wrong ... MHO ...
