Monthly car payments
With little to no established credit, I was just wondering what you guys thing would be the payments on a 2003 TL-s. I have an 01' TL and would trade or sell for anywhere from 7-9k. So I would be looking at about 8k more to pay back. What do you guys thing the monthly payments would be on with those figures. Thanks in advance

Looking around an 03 TL-S is around $20k, so financing $19,000 for 60 months at 7.0% interest will put you at around $376.22 a month
Putting $8,000 down, financing $11,000 all else the same, you'll be at around $217.81 a month
9% interest for $11k will be around $228.34 a month
Just get one of those Interest Calculators and play around with interest and payment amounts.

Honestly,
It isn't worth it to go from an 01 TL to a 03 TL-S. Since your car is paid for, why don't you just chill out until you have the ends to get something different. Go to College (if you aren't already) and then wory about it later.

not worth the hassle especially when most banks and credit unions don't like to finance private party deals. now a signature loan is something else you could try, but the interest will be thru the roof compared to a regular car loan

Doesn't seem like it's worth it to me. If I were you I'd just keep your car.
But, if you do go through with it... try capitaloneautofinance.com. Banks typically do not offer loans when purchasing from a private seller, however, Capital One will. You will probably need a co-signer though.

Well you're 18 so it can REALLY vary. If you have credit card debt, missed payments, a co-signer or not and a job history... 
A lot of things going against you..

But in his defense, he's looking to get a pre-owned (2003), so he'll be saving a lot of money over new.

When I was about 17 I had my own phone in my parents house (under me), beeper under me (hey, it was 1994
), and car insurance under me and that helped me to build up my credit.

Things like a cell phone under your name, insurance, or even a credit card. Even if it only has a $500 or smaller limit... it will help you build up your credit score. This way, when you graduate and you're ready for another vehicle, you'll have the credit to help with the purchase.

Right now I have a young guy just out of high school working for me, I have him buy all the office supplies with his credit card and I reimburse him. I imagine his credit score will be going quite high these next few months.
