Dude they have a point. RL is an extremely nice ride. Your not paying for it. Your still in college. I could beg my mom to buy me a new car too. But why? It will just be a beater car right? Once I go back to school I'll be driving 60+ miles a day. Car value drops. Why take the extra hit on a new car? At least wait til you graduate.

You need to learn to learn some self restraint.

 

whoa I pay for everything....you guys are funny..I pay for insurance and the car and help with bills... So?...i dont want a new car it is simply that im lowering my payments nobody is not understanding

 

 

Who cares if nobody is understanding... You started this thread looking for advice, we offer it but see no logic in your standpoint, so you continue to agrue with us. Go ahead and do what you want with the goddamn car, man, we don't care. We are all just trying to offer sound, financial sense to you that you clearly don't see so we might as well quit instead of exhausting our efforts. Please, do yourself a favor and save yourself the humiliation of the mockery you are creating here and stop trying to convince us that it makes sense. It doesn't and you are not going to change our minds so do what you want...

Good Luck with whatever you choose to do, though it sounds like you've made up your mind.

 

Then their insurance covers any damage your TL incurred in the accident. So, if you're car got $7,000 in damage in the accident, you received a check for that $7,000 to make up for that, negating any $7,000 loss you received because of the accident. Unless of course they didn't have insurance, in which case YOUR insurance would step in...

SO, because of insurance, you never should have been down the $7,000 because of the accident to begin with. There's still more to the story that is missing. What happen to that insurance $$?

 

Noooooobody knows.....

 

Seriously, to the OP - I will send you a giant box of condoms if you promise to use them. I don't want you polluting the gene pool any further.

 

Or you could just send him the booklet on how to self perform eunuchism.

 

If you really want to save payments by an accord and save the money.

 

Ouch.

 

Okay-- I was 20 when I got my 2nd Gen TL-S. I did some modifications-- but looking back, maybe not the brightest thing to do. I spent money when I didn't have any and racked up a whole buncha debt.

Long story short-- it took me the first 3 years out of school paying back the credit cards at roughly $500 a mo. before finally getting out, clean of the situation.

If I had to do it over again.. I wouldn't. But then, this is me now vs. then.

Wise words.

Listen to him.

I experienced the same situation (not modding cars though) on a smaller scale. It sucks.

 

Oh really? Let's go to your first post...

BTW. Your mom is smarter than you. Listen to her. (she's essentially giving the same advice as all of us here )

 

I sort of went through what you are going through now buddy. 3 years ago I wanted a TSX (it was quite new back then), but parents didn’t want to spend more than CAD$20k. Even a used TSX back then would cost CAD$30k+. So instead we bought a 02 TL-S, which was at CAD$24k. I wasn’t that happy at first because it was a TL..not a TSX. But it didn’t take long before I started liking the TL. I guess one of the reasons is I joined Azine, and read about the mods that can be done with the car. The TL-S is arguably a rare car, especially in WDP. So even though it does look as sporty as the TSX, the uniqueness is certainly there. Now with my JDM emblems and lip kit, as well as blacked out headlight housing, I love my car much more than before. So what I’m getting at is that, you just got the RL for one week. Give yourself and the RL a few more months, may be it will grow on you. If it doesn’t, then go ahead and get yourself a G35 or 350Z. It’s not like you will not be able to buy either one a few months later. In fact, they will even be cheaper. Also, you won’t lose $1500 from your RL in just one week. I myself would love to have a RL, but too bad I cannot afford one right now. IMO, the a-spec lip kit and rims would make the car look MUCH better and sportier. Then the a-spec suspension kit would make the car sportier, I’d say, even better than the TL. And you won’t feel understeer thanks to the SH-AWD. The RL is already very rare, to make it more unique, get some JDM emblems and you have one of the rarest cars in the US.

 

I always find it funny when other kids my age play the "I pay for everything" card. Reality check, the only reason why you have what you have is because of your parents. What do you do for a living? About the same shit everyone else your age is doing I presume. So why is it that you drive an RL when other kids drive a TC or civic?

You made this same thread in the TL forum and said you were thinking of getting an 07 G35s. Thats not lowering payments. You owned yourself with the paying for insurance. And if your parents needed you to help out with the bills, I doubt you'd be driving an RL. Stop trying to make yourself look like a miracle kid. Your more spoiled than I am.

 

Actually if you read again I was thinking about a 2007 TL-S dummy......but i didnt wanna get a big loan...so im aiming for a smaller loan and lower monthly payments. What is so wrong with that....

I sense jealousy in the forums

 

thats why im looking at a 04 350z dummy or a G35 04 dummy...

dummy dummy dummy!

 

Going to an 07 TL-S would make your payments bigger wouldnt they?

 

 

Trust me kid, its not jealousy you're sensing. Most of the older guys here don't give a rats ass what you drive.

You asked us for advice on what was a pretty self explanatory situation IMO. Should you take out a loan on another car? No. Should you take out a loan on a used car? No. Should you stick with what you have? Sure, since at this point you already have payments and going to another car is ultimately going to cost you more money out of your pocket regardless.

Maybe wait till after college to decide? Maybe you'll be more intelligent by then. But that seems like a highly unlikely maybe.

 

Yea thats why i switched to a 350z....something much much more cheaper! and its used for 14000$

 

Yep, jeolousy...that's it. You ask for input. You don't like the advise you get. We're all jeolous. I read your first post in this thread and I just kept thinking that here is a kid I would love to be.

IMHO, sell the RL. You will not be happy unless you do it. But don't say that you're doing it to save money. IMO, that's BS. You are going to reduce your payments by getting a G35 and then spend hundreds or thousands more modding it because you won't be happy with a stock G35. So, instead of paying $100 more a month for a car payment, you will spend $1200 in one shot on mods. Good savings plan.

Don't do it because you are saving money, do it because you want too. You asked us what to do and most of us would be extremely happy with an RL, so we say keep it. You don't agree. It's your money; spend it however you like.

 

i'm also curious where your getting the credit to get these loans. Somebody is co-signing with you. Either way, it's not jealousy you sense but more logical minds. I don't think you understand what everyone is saying because your on the defense. I think most people are saying that your a student and unless your working a full time job your not going to afford a 50k car. You probably work to pay for your car, no living expense. Even if you did pay for the car on your own monthly, could you truely own this car without your parents? Meaning, live on your own and pay for everything?

 

I went to the dealer and got a deal together....my credit is good...its not costing me anything out of pocket! I pay right now 450 a month on the RL...with the Z my payments are looking like $390...

 

What is even the problem with you guys? You guys are really uptight

 

So, you really want us to believe your only reason is to save $60? In NYC $60 is a round at a bar. I know. I did it for 8 years.

 

I'm not even going to answer this....

 

It comes with age. Trust me, it will happen to you as well. At 19, most of us had the option to either have a used Camry, or a hand me down Accord. And $20K for a car was not even an option. So when we see a 19 year old KID talking about owning a RL and looking to downsize to a G35 to save cash, we smell BS.

 

Who is buying a $50K car?

I cannot own this car with out my parents!
Insurance in NYC is ahhhh

and since i got a scholarship and everything im not paying for school. Ontop of that the car was a gift by my cosigning and Im paying the payments along with the insurance which in total is about 700$ a month...NOTHING!...

 

Lol, Im not trying to pick a fight with you. I was just saying. Im sorry okay?

 

Lets settle this in the octagon!

 

Thats a lot of money a month or at least to me.

 

I've been wondering this, so, now I'll just ask. Is English your primary language?

 

I know most of you guys didnt have that option.My mom tells me that all the time. But you expect time to always stay the same. Its a different generation! Im not spoiled. i was always an excellent student in school and got good grades. Also doing good in college. plenty of beatings.....but not spoiled. I just want lower payments!

 

nobody is not understanding.. double negative

so everybody is understanding...


not sure if you're 19 or not... if u are u make me look bad as shit...

if you're so set on buy the z or g35, y u still here? go for it no one's stopping you. the majority is already telling you not to but it doesn't go through your head, so wuts the point of asking for our opinion...

go get ur z/g so you'll be happy

 

Explain that please.

 

Again, I'll point out like someone else did earlier....


I'm not quite understanding...

 

 

No Acurazinian is my primary language
