I admit I purchased the wheel and tire protection package - low pro tires, all it takes is one pothole or curb and that is $260 for a tire and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for a new wheel (IF! you can find one). That is worth a few hundred dollars to me for the next 3 years. A normal car / normal profile tires / cheap wheels - who cares? You would have to be an idiot to buy that package.

 

What the *&$@ are you talking about and what is it that you do for a living that you know so much about leases....???and I don't have enough to purchase my car?...so what do you own...???how many carstrucks...???that is just about the most uninformed statement that I have ever heard...GM guarantees that MY car is worth a certain amount at the end of my lease...and at the end of your loan...your car is not guaranteed to be worth anything...and the next thing you are going to say, well the windshield can't be cracked, and the tires have to be in good shape...and the interior has to be good...well you try and trade in a dirty old car with bald tires and cracked windshield...see how much you get for it...and in a lease you have gap protection...and I am sure alot of you don't know what that is...some might...anyways...I am paying my payments of under $300 a month...my interest for 4 years is $571 total...so that is what it is costing me....at the end when I want my Camero...I can....can you with your loan...???and say what you will...we do ok....I think if ya wanna start counting toys...of course I can't afford them....I still think I am gonna win. I just think that was a very rude statement...very childish...and if you are using a car as an investment...there is really no equity in cars...in fact we actually made money off our Avalanche when our lease was up...if you knew about leases...but I am not going to help you out...

 

How do you gain equity? By the time the car is paid off through a standard financing term you have already lost half the value on the car. Technically you're already in the hole once the car is off the lot since the cost of the car with taxes and destination charges is already worth more than the car itself, plus interest on the purchase (if any).

Unless you're investing in a classic car you'll always be taking a loss on a purchase of a vehicle...

 

im gonna be about the same, i pretty much cant give away my 06 hemi quad cab with 4 bucks a gallon for reg.

 

Bring back an old thread instead of making a new one. But i pay 370 a month at 2.9 apr i bought the wheel and tire warranty and extended warranty too.

 

i only paid 21500 for mine dealer gave me a deal. my payment is 530..

 

430.00 4 year loan... which is cheaper than the 475 I was paying for my 06 SS/SC

 

226 a month. But i only financed like 12k total so I plan on paying it off early next yr so Im paying way more a month so I can pay it off in 12 months or less from the purchase date.

 

190 a month over 5 yrs, but it'll be paid in 2...had my trade in that i owed next to nothing on and 2 G's down with GM discount, rebates etc...

 

paiements also varie, depending what option it comes with

mine is fully loaded 2009 turbo, no cash down, i let the dealer pay the taxes, and made them pay for transaction for plates, my paiements $470 cdn per month wich works out
to about $376 us

 

engrish?

 

DAMN! My payments are where most of your paymenst for a Cobalt are? WOW either I got a HELL of a deal or most of you got boned!
