5 year loan ,,, most likely have to put down at least 10-15 g's,, depending on your interest rate. Work with your car dealer on this, they'll give you all sorts of quotes, what is it, $25 off the monthly payment for every G you put down,, something along those lines, however that varies with interest rates as well.

btw,,, three year loan, 0% interest, and$580 a month payments here. but i'll take 0% any time any day, worht the extra monthly payment right there.

If you have good credit, peoplefirst.com has 5.65% interest @ 60 months. I'm just using them for an example, although I have bought 3 vehicals through them. Their calculator shows you can borrow 15,649, with payments of 300.00 for 60 months. All you've gotta do is come up with the other 14K-18K(depending on price).

If you have some equity in a home? You can take a second mortgage w/the min payment being around $300-$325. But that would drag it out for 15yrs.

I am thinking of this method for two reasons:

1) the interest is 100% tax deductable (that's a bunch of money over 5-6 years!!)

2) I'd pay around $600-$650 a month normally, but if things got tight (out of work, other big bills, ect...) you could pay the minimum to help keep your reserves going towards keeping the lights on.

Just an alternative, WOT

Pay cash for the L. Then make $300/month payments to yourself for 4 or 5 years. Takes discipline, but ........

Yeah, what they said. Get a sugar momma.

I put $19,000 down on my L when I bought it new and still had $375 notes for 4 years w/ a 7.49% interest rate. THat included extended warrenty though ($1500)
Only 18 more payments and it will be mine.....all mine!

I'll be you Sugar Momma

Go and buy the truck. Get the best deal you can. Send me the Payment book and $300 per month. I'll take care of the rest.


I almost forgot - Give them a false address or take a trip out of state and buy the L from a dealer really far away. This helps with avoiding the repo man.....not that you would need to avoid a repo man.


Or you could buy a Gen. 1 L.
