Are you talking about lease payments? If not, then $570 isn't too much, I mean ****, a 36mo loan @ 4.95% for a $23k vehicle w/ 6% sales tax is 730/mo. Even w/ $5k down its still $580/mo.

How long are you guys financing for?

Sounds like a steal of a deal!


...$410 a month here (I rolled in some of the extras they offer, like the wheel and tire protection package)

see I think if you can't pay the car off easily in under 4 years, you are buying too much car

Everyone is going to have different payments depending on their deal and situation to includes the price they negotiate, any incentives, trade-in or down payment, interest rate and length of loan term, etc. It's almost like asking what insurance rates others are paying (although I see someone started one of those threads too). It might be interesting but won't give you any idea how much you will pay. If you want to crunch some numbers try some of the various online loan calculators such as this on at Edmunds. I'd bet most people that aren't really upside down and/or don't put a ton of money down will be in the $400-500 range for a standard 60 month term and decent interest rate.

http://www.edmunds.com/apps/calc/CalculatorController

By the way, if you ever want to have some fun when buying a new car, find out the true invoice pricing and all incentives and then go into the dealer with a PDA or laptop with a similar loan calculator program. When the dealer tries to negotiate a sales pricing using monthly payments or whatnot you'll find it in your advantage to be able to reverse engineer their common "four square" sheets and find out where they're hiding extra cost.

All cool. Hopefully no one is so upside down on their old car/truck and just has to have the car they get screwed over into owing a ton on it. I hate seeing people get screwed into owing too much on something they can't afford in the first place. Especially given the target market for this car. For others who can afford shorter term loans or paying more per month all the better for them.

depends on how many months you plan to pay it off in, do you like paying extra in interest?

This is for the SS, not an LS. I'm sorry, but you aren't paying $14,000 for an 08 SS/TC.
