Great stuff man I need to use that.

 

 

im making 1600 a month. 675 for Z, 280 insurance, thats 955 total...that only leaves me 650 a month to spend on gas and extras =[

but...

THATS HOW I ROLL...gotta have a Z you know =]

 

sticky this

 

i make 2200 a month.. but i live with my parents :-D I will be making jack when the summer ends and my internship ends. Damn i need to graduate college faster.

 

Yeah, pretty much exactly what I"m doing man.

1850 and I take home 1680..

$680 for my Z, $270 for insurance and then I have $400 rent..then the rest is spending..but I usually work 2-3 days over time for my spending money. Either way I love the Z

 

So at 20% I should have a car payment of $1700? Screw that!

Yz

 

i just learned you can leased a 07 vette with 0 down for 599 a month for 36 months
anyone whos paying anywhere closed to that... is getting ripped off imo...
i paid $330 a month for the Z and around $150 for insurance
that was when i was 19-20
now i dont have the Z anymore =]

 

I make 1900 a month.....but work also pays for school which is an extension of my income. Im young but i put down 15k on the car (it cost me 22k with plates, taxes, etc) and i only owe 7 on it. My payment is only 200 a month and im currently using the rest to save for a down payment on a home.

its possible to be young and sensible....i just cant afford TT kits or Volks.

 

like wise, these people making less than I do (not ALOT, but still less) are paying 300 more a month for their cars and rent. damn.

i graduated college last december and livin with the rents. Of my take home, i spend 16% on car, 2% on CC, 2% on phone, 5% on gas, 8% on insurance, 5% at the bar and 3% on student loans = 41% on bills, the other 59% going to a savings account

sorry i like playin with numbers

 

$680 a month for payment and $270 for insurance seems awful high.

 

On a semi-related note, I used to work at bankrate.com, the website that calculator is on. This was during the internet bubble boom/burst, when bankrate was delisted and the company's stock went all the way down to twelve cents a share.

The company was telling all of us to buy the stock. Noone I knew did, everyone was so pessimistic about the company. A lot of us were laid off shortly thereafter.

It's trading at about 40 bucks a share now. Just figured I would share the biggest mistake in my life with you guys. I could be retired now but hey, whatever I guess.

 

Ouch

 

wow! you just never know...

 

Wow, as an aspiring and (hopefully) soon-to-be 350z owner, this REALLY helped. This is my first post on this forum and i think i'm going to be cozy here.

 

It says this is what I can afford... $103,451. Looks like it's Porsche time!

 

Ive used that site before. My payment is 21% of my income, but I really wanted to keep it closer to 15%. I just didnt want to be making payments forever.

 

i make a lil over 100k a year and it says i should get something around 43k not bad! thats with 18% of monthly man taxes are killing me in cali!

 

Says i can afford 18k car with 2k down



good thing I got my Z for 19k with 2k down
