Hey thanks a bunch for the info. I want to get a base/sports/6MT and im guessing after taxes & ttl id end up spending maybe $34k? (assuming purchase price is $32k + $1600tax @ 5% + $400ttl). I've never bought a new car so those are the only costs i know to factor in lol.
I was planning on putting down $10k-$15k and trade in my honda (probably worth $1.5k). What if i had a co-signer? Do you think that would help my chances of securing a good loan/rate? Finding someone who will do business with me when i have little credit history is proving tougher than i thought lol.
