Base + sport owners who financed - payments?
 

Did a quick search on the forums and didn't see anything:

Post as much as you feel comfortable with sharing..
- monthly car payment
- monthly insurance payment
- how much per month on gas?
- what was your down payment?

Trying to get a feel for what [hopefully] next year will be like for me ;)

LOL are you a stalker. Ill bite $439.65 per month car payment and about $180 per month insurance. I dont pay attention to the gas but I put 10k down on her.

Ok now whats your street address? J/K :icon17: thanks for the reply

My price was close to what a new z with sport would be.

I pay 588$ month and roughly $200 insurance (under 25)

Gas spendage (guesstimate) $200-250 per month

Down payment $0, was actually $700 upside down

- monthly car payment: $324.64 (60 month)
- monthly insurance payment: $108.33 (23yo - married)
- how much per month on gas? $100 - $150
- how much did you get for your trade in? N/A
- what was your down payment? $14,000

^^^ I am on the same insurance as parents, knew I should have looked around. Does being married give you an advantage on rate? I have perfect credit and have never been in a wreck, am also 23.

Or is it because you are paying 14,000$ less, probably?

There is no relevence between what you will and what someone else pays for insurance.
There are way too many variables involved.

Here just fill in the blanks:

^^ Yeah, there are honestly a lot of variables that go into your auto insurance rate, but we do sound pretty similar in age, credit score, and driving history. Being married definitely helps out, but the down payment doesn't have anything to do with it. Also, my insurance company is USAA.

This is going to vary a lot depending on down payment and APR... insurance will vary by age, region, deductables...

I put down $6.5K plus a trade-in valued around $4.5K and my monthly payments are $383 on a 72 month loan.

Well worth it! Love this car :tup:

Insurance is around $1400/year, so an average of $116 per month.

I don't think its a good idea to get another temporary car since you will probably end up in the same situation you are currently in. Either you fix the radiator (cheaper than buying a temp car) or buy a cheaper new car and wait for your next car to be your dream car. Even though you really like the 370z, its not worth putting yourself in a huge hole if you really couldn't afford it. Sorry, its probably not what you wanted to hear :ugh:

Jeeps, while fun, are notorious pieces of crap -- sorry this happend :(

If you can swing it, get the Z -- very different animal from your Jeep, but absolutely worthy of all the praise :tup:

For more of the total picture I would suggest adding how much
was received on the trade in to the list, which would give you-
