WHISKEYSWAMP Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 nice looking ride... but you'll most likely wish you had bought a truck once hunting season comes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeybuster Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Good luck. Its a nice car but I don't know that I would want to pay the insurance on it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I had a 1979 RX7 and really liked it. It's probably like comparing apples and oranges. Are you sure you don't want something slower and higher off the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 sweet looking car! Be careful with it if you get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 now there is a chix mobile for you. you'll get the loan, i guarantee it. BUT the interest may be high. you said 158.00 a month is a bunch. and it is. now, don't let the salesman come back and tell you that you are approved, but the interest is a little higher and your payments are now ?????. just tell him thank you, and if you can get the payments back to 158, to give you a call. what he's doing is a simple salesman trick to get you to pay more. he DOES NOT want to lose the sale, and will get payments back in order within a few days. let him sweat a while. meanwhile, last week you were looking for a new car. tomarrow, you may still be looking for a new car. kinda like hunting. once the kill is made, the work begins.

wtnhunt Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Small cars are really not for me. Seen them around though and they are sharp looking cars. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU_man_84 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 ...thats not bad for having an accident and speeding ticket. i have no idea how you got that ticket, lol again sorry bout that, good luck with the loan though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 where are you gonna put your deer? Forgive my thinking outloud.....you're not a closet yuppie, are you? J/K. I prefer the more American Muscle Car types, but like previously stated, the chicks should dig it! Good luck with the Insurance. It probably would be nearly the same for a 4x4 truck too though.

IllinoisArcher Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 i have a chevy s-10 that i will be using for hunting season..its just not a really dependable daily driver...i have a chance to buy a 2003 ford f-150 xlt 4x4 supercrew for only 12,000$ but i just dont want to get 10 mpg with gas the way it is...and the insurance on the car is 50 dollars more then it would be on the truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimPic Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 A couple of months ago,I was in the market for a sports car and drove an '05 RX8.Nice driving and handling car but the 1.3L was a little weak(which may be a good thing being a 17yr old driver with moving violations;)).Now I'm only comparing the RX to the other cars I test drove--an '07 Mustang,'06 350z,and an '07 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I wound up getting the 350z.The main thing is if you like it,buy it--it's a fine car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
