How many of aziners buy..

all the accessories and bolt ons and stuff on their credit cards... When I think of it, i see many people pouring out hundreds of thousands of dollars on their acuras. Do youll wait til you have the cash or just charge it on the credit card? Just out of curiosity.

I wait until I have the cash to pay for the item in full, and then use my credit card and pay for the bill right away.

CC, of course. Free flights are the only way to go.

CC because no one who has anything for my car is near me. Pay pal has become my friend, it's better than sending a check, waiting for it to clear, then having them ship the parts.

I wouldn't mod if I didn't have the cash, the CC makes it easier due to it's electronic abilities.

Ditto.

Of course sometimes there are deals I dont have the cash for right away and charge it then pay it off in a few months. ie: The mopar body kit I have on it $1200 but it popped up on ebay for $300 - had to get it.

"hundreds of thousands of dollar"

I think that's a bit high there

And the fact a CC is used for car parts has zero bearing on the question or situation.

It comes down to the basic principle that gets many people in credit trouble.

If you don't have $ to pay for something outright don't use a CC to pay for it.

I don't buy anything unless I have the cash to pay my CC bill in full when it comes.

Save up enough cash then put in on the card...the wheels and suspension were the hardest to save up for! Had to make a lotttt of sacrifices Glad I got the most expensive things done though, now I can just casually buy all the "cheaper" items.

I don’t have a credit card either. Just pay cash for everything and you never have to worry about paying interest. Anything that you buy on credit that you cannot deduct the interest on like your primary residence is likely costing you money, unless you interest rate is below inflation (like some student loans). That interest adds up over time and can amount to a substantial amount of money.
