Getting rid of the Yaris?

[.Kevin.]

Hi everyone, I've decided after awhile of thinking that I will be looking to get rid of my yaris if not now, later.

I want something bigger, maybe faster after looking around it seems this car isn't my joy the interiors size makes me feel iffy. Not that I don't like the car, I just feel its too much of a toy for me.

So I've decided to start pocketing my cheques instead of investing in it.

My car is on 5 years financing with toyota credit, 0 percent. Extended warranty. It was the base model sedan, but I added everything I could from the dealer to keep it's warranty. Aftermarket was a Sub woofer 10 inch with box, debadging, local towns window tinting which is glorified upon the place even had their street named after them as a gift from the mayor. And some other little things.

Anyways to my point what do you guys recommend me for this all.

1. Trade the car in with what I still owe stacking onto another vehicle I want.

2. Finish paying the vehicle off and trade it in, in the future and just save or atleast try to. (4 years seems like a long time though, so much can change and I've payed a year off already maybe abit more.)

3. Sell it off to someone for 1,000$ or so and let them take over payments and the car itself.

My goal is not to screw my credit or anything along those lines whatsoever.

What do you all recommend, and this isn't a convince me to keep my Yaris thread. I plan to stick around afterward because I love this forum.

My goal is to maybe get the newest Subaru Impreza 2.4L 4 door or 5 door Limited.

[big lo]

You should think it through Kevin, are you really ready for a gas guzzler,lol. Before you do check what options you have and what are you really looking for meaning size or speed?

[thebarber]

if you're upside down on the loan, keep the car.

once you drive a yaris, though, everything looks like a gas guzzler (at least to me)

if you don't need more space right now, just wait until you NEED something larger. gas prices won't be going down in the future.

[why?]

This is what, the 2nd or 3rd time in a handful of months you feel this way?

Since gas is getting higher, you should be able to find someone to take over the loan, not sure if you could get anyone to give you any extra cash to do it, but you can try.

Don't try and trade it in, you could try and sell it on your own, but even then odds are you will get less than you owe, which kills the point.

I will of course put in the obligatory you should keep it, even if you get a toy on the side. You can take more risks with a toy or fun type car when you know you have a reliable daily driver sitting waiting for you.

Anyways to my point what do you guys recommend me for this all.

1. Trade the car in with what I still owe stacking onto another vehicle I want.

I don't think this will be a great deal. The dealership is gonna need to make a decent profit reselling your now "used" Yaris. That will drop the price by a lot.


2. Finish paying the vehicle off and trade it in, in the future and just save or atleast try to. (4 years seems like a long time though, so much can change and I've payed a year off already maybe abit more.)
If you're anything like me, once you start thinking of it, and picturing yourself in the new car, it's so hard to change your mind and stay in the old car for too long.

3. Sell it off to someone for 1,000$ or so and let them take over payments and the car itself.
If you can do this, it would be my choice. How likely is it that they will actually pay you that extra thousand dollars though?

[JumpmanYaris]

I have heard this before, how many threads now?

[.Kevin.]

Everyones heard this from me multiple times, because I believe it is a sign I just can't be with this vehicle.

The car itself is no problem, I have tons of extra money after my monthly bills with it.

in my 3rd option -

Does the car have to be paid off to do this? Or can I tell the person for 1000$ I will transfer the financing to them. Or is it more complicated than I believe?

Or will this affect my credit.

[carnageehw]

E

I know there are websites that will do this with a lease, but for payments I'm not totally positive. All I know is that in Canada, you can't legally sell him the car while payments are still being made by you.

In other words, you can't give him the title and have him pay you 200 bucks a month and you make the payments.

My question is why do you think someone will pay you $1,000? I'm guessing it's because you've put some additional things into the car but still, I don't think that's going to work. They are essentially getting a used car, but paying new cars payments. If you really want to give up the car, I'd just cut your losses and move on.

Usually the buyers bank takes care of the details. They want to get the title and hold it for a secured loan. I doubt that you could transfer the financing to them yourself.

Buying and selling cars gets expensive. Taxes and fees are never recouped. Get what you want while you are still young. Houses and families and other expenses will prohibit some purchases in the future.

[1stToyota]

Are you sure you can afford the new Subaru? Was the Camaro and Tacoma out of your price range? Don't know what your "monthly bills" are now, but those are subject to change, along with the "tons" of extra money that's left over each month. If you can afford it, go for it...the scent of new cars is a nice addiction for those that can handle it.

[JumpmanYaris]

I don't know how, a minor with credit can't afford that unless ur making bank

[Betrivent]

I don't know how, a minor with credit can't afford that unless ur making bank

I'm curious as to how you can even consider affording a new car while you've already committed to financing one.

[shinlee]

He's not really financing one if it's 0% intrest rate... that's basically about as good as it can get.

Don't trade the car in, cuz then w/e else you owe, you WILL pay intrest on, that's tacked onto that car payment (unless again, you get 0% intrest). Hell, if you can find someone to take over the payments of a 0% car, I honestly don't think I'd really try to ask for too much money from a buyer, so $1000 seems perfect. I know back home in Texas, you can transfer loans to another person very easily, with usually no fee's if done through a large enough financer, so I would do this option.

[.Kevin.]

anything with a turbo takes super at the pump...feel like spending 2$/L soon?
I put premium in my Yaris already. Also I won't get the WRX STI, I want the 170 hp 4 cylinder sport model.

This is why I want to get the subaru, I am suggested by my Dad to pay off the Yaris then just buy the Subaru, but like I said in 4 years so much can change so how do I know I can get the car later.

Camaro was a bail due to what it is and snow being here 8 months of the year, Tacoma I was convinced to stay with the Yaris so I didn't go for it and bit my tongue I was going to get a package from the dealer for having the first 2011 tacoma in town aswell though! But now I can't deny my want of something I truly want.

I don't know how, a minor with credit can't afford that unless ur making bank

If you mean me, I make about 2400$ every two weeks.

What do you mean, please PM me if you know anything about these things and guide me I would appreciate it. All I'd want is 1000$ and then transfer the loan to someone else to complete the vehicle or someone to pay it off and receive it.

[SilverBack]

Man just keep the damn car as long as you don't NEED something bigger. Why the hell would you wanna make things harder for yourself by ditching it for something better? Just so you know "status" doesn't mean a damn thing in this day and age. Just my thoughts...

[.Kevin.]

If you like the Yaris it is different, vehicles are something to me I'd want forever.

[SilverBack]

I agree, I love cars myself and hate the thought of giving one up. But as a another fan of Subies (I do follow Rally, as time allows) I'm just saying as someone who lives on bare necessity, in my experience survival is way more important than having what people think is "way cooler". If something does exactly what you need it to do, then why mess with a good thing? :smile:

(Unless you're having a kid or need to haul stuff, I'd totally understand the change)

[.Kevin.]

I know there is no gain, I stopped putting premium in last pay cheque.

[TEHxFALLEN V1.2]

Get an Audi. The four circles are worth it.

The a4's are nice ;b

Here's the best bet from what I read:\\http://www.carsdirect.com/auto-loans/can-you-transfer-an-auto-loan

[contraband831]

sale any aftermarket parts that u can, to recoup some cash and then get someone to take over the payments or better yet ask your dad to take over if he can since its his dream car...

[rningonfumes]

Give us non Canuckians a perspective of what 2400 bi-weekly means. I know if someone told me 2400 bi-weekly U. S. Dollars , I would be impressed for someone so young.

[toy_toronto]

I put premium in my Yaris already. Also I won't get the WRX STI, I want the 170 hp 4 cylinder sport model.

i realize you make $2400 every 2 weeks.. but no offense kevin, do you even know why/when to use premium grade gas?

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

do you even know why/when to use premium grade gas?

:iono: I DON'T, so im curious as to your answer.....

[xixarchangelxix]

Our dollar is currently worth slightly more than yours.

Most aftermarket crap for me is cosmetic I believe.

Wheels, sway bar.

Here's the best bet from what I read:\\http://www.carsdirect.com/auto-loans/can-you-transfer-an-auto-loan
That is a very smart idea, the thing is though. Why would anyone take my loan? It is a used car and they would just use the loan on something else. Though mines been paid off a years worth.

Give us non Canuckians a perspective of what 2400 bi-weekly means. I know if someone told me 2400 bi-weekly U. S. Dollars , I would be impressed for someone so young.

2400 every two weeks. You work for 2 weeks cut off is on Sundays get paid Thursdays.

2400 Canadian is also worth more than US dollars fortunately.

[rningonfumes]

Not to dig into your finances... couldn't you just pay off the loan more quickly then get into another car once the loan is done?- keep both cars.... One for play, the other for pay?

[.Kevin.]

i realize you make $2400 every 2 weeks.. but no offense kevin, do you even know why/when to use premium grade gas?
Income doesn't mean anything, and yes I do its just something I do for myself if you read afterwards I put 87 regular atm.

Not to dig into your finances... couldn't you just pay off the loan more quickly then get into another car once the loan is done?- keep both cars.... One for play, the other for pay?

I don't like the idea of having more than one vehicle, and I rather just get rid of one then pay for the other I still plan on doing other things in life I'm kind of tight with myself you could say.

Does anyone know maybe if you saved a certain down payment for it they would let it fly

[shinlee]

Kevin, I'd love to help you, but I don't have a damn clue about canada, lmao! I also agree, I'm about to get a new mustang 5.0, and even though my Yaris is paid off, I'm still thinking VERY hard about getting rid of the yaris...just no room for my wifes car and then 2 of my cars, plus all my military crap in my garage, ya know?

get rid of the yaris if it suits you best, and also as long as you are financially able to manage it. If it's what makes you *happiest* then screw the rest!

Exactly! My only problem is getting rid of the vehicle, I still have 4 years to pay sadly.

[rningonfumes]

I just don't like seeing people take a financial hit if they could help it. With such a large amount of payments left, not too many people will be willing to take over payments. If you go into a new car, the dealer is not going to take the hit for you either, they will roll in what's left of the Yaris loan into your next car (minus what they think they can sell the car for).

In either case, you end up paying for the "opportunity" for a new car.

How about a compromise? Look up the exact amount you owe, then look up the going whole sale used price for your area. Make extra payments down to just under the whole sale price then get rid of the car. When you go to the dealer they will stick it to you by paying only for the whole sale price not the going street value.

At least in this way, you won't end up owing for the the Yaris.

[why?]

you earn a ton of money, just pay the car off and keep it. It will be better to have a year round car and a summer toy than a car you worry about driving in snow.

With what you earn it should not take much time to save up enough money to pay the car entirely off.

[shinlee]

But that leaves 2 cars for one person, and even with money not being an issue, space might be.

[.Kevin.]

But that leaves 2 cars for one person, and even with money not being an issue, space might be.

Precisely.

If I went for lets say a honda civic SI, 26,000k + tax I'd be at like 32k. So if I trade in the Yaris after making 240$ Monthly payments for a year which its original price was 20,430$ with taxes.

Let's do math.

12 x 340 = 4080$ (What I've paid so far)

20,430 - 4080$ = 16,350$ owing (Yaris total minus what has been paid)

So now lets add 16,350$ of Yaris to the 32k of a Honda Civic Si

16,350 + 32,000 = 48,350$

Now that is what I'd owe adding my total debt of my 2010 Yaris, and 2012 Civic Si.

Now we'll minus what a dealer would give me for it, let's say its KBB is 10-12k value, so a dealer will probably moke me and offer a low 8k.


48,350$ - 8,000$ = 48,350$ owed in the time of 5 years and that is not including interest I think?

Did anyone see a flaw in my calculations?

[Yaristeve]

Yeah, $48,350 - $8,000 = $40,350 not $48,350

[JumpmanYaris]

Yeah, $48,350 - $8,000 = $40,350 not $48,350

Lmfao

[BEEF]

so wait, are you paying $240 or $340 monthly? your calculations are right (minus the last little hiccup) but you stated earlier in that post that your payments were $240 monthly. that is qite a bit of difference ($1200 worth). also, you can look up on KBB.com or edmunds.com and find out the value of your vehicle...even trade in values.

if you are making bank like you say you are, thats over $60k anually and that is if those number are before taxes. if that is take home, it is even higer. honestly that is about were I am and I have a car payment, personal loan, ex-wife, and daughter....and I still have about $1,000 extra monthly (usually paying down loans). don't really know your home situation or cost of living but would think that two vehicles would be nothing for someone making that kind of money. I have two vehicles and plan to replace one of them within the next 2 years after I pay down the loans I currently have.

weren't you just talking about putting nitrous on this thing and talking about fixing the front lip? why are you now talking about selling it? also you don't have to put $32k in a vehicle to get a fast one. buddy of mine has $8k in a truck and it is pushing 400rwhp (granted $6k was just in the motor and he has to run 93 octane because of compression ratio) but it will outrun most stuff on the road right now.

I just don't get it.

[.Kevin.]

Yeah, $48,350 - $8,000 = $40,350 not $48,350
Woops
Lmfao
Quiet you!

340$ Monthly. Was a mistake I realized if I was paying 240 it would take 6 years to pay off but I went on 5 so it is 340.

Isn't edmunds and KBB American? I am from Canada.

See, I don't like skiming everything and then ending my day saying I have 1000$ left in my pocket still. I like the simple life like my dad showed me which and hes incredible with money. One car, not two because I can but why two when I don't need it. Like I said the thread wasn't meant for me to convince on keeping the Yaris. It's more of a brainstorming thread.

It's not just speed, I honestly don't like the Yaris much other than its design, and thats the sedan because I got offered an egg and despise them lol.

If it was about speed, I would just buy garms turbo set up, bigger injectors and install it for 3 grand tops prob and be running 180hp I'm guessing atleast.

And going by weight to speed ratio I'm betting a 180hp yaris would beat a 200hp impreza or a 201 hp Si.

So ending my post - like I said it is a brain storm thread if I do skip out on this all then my goals to get a lip even though it seems no where sells them.

[thebarber]

is your sedan even worth 16000 as a trade-in?

keep in mind, if you trade in for an SI, you don't pay tax on the trade-in value. so 26k for the SI - 16000 for the yaris (ideally), you only pay tax on 10000 for the new car, not 26000.

then they take what you owe on the car and add it to the new loan w/ the SI and finance that. honda would pay out the remaining amount of your toyota loan (as you have to do so in order to change owners on the ownership...you can't have any liens on the car.

[BEEF]

wow, how about saying that I have enough to buy a car in the bank (your car). that is being good with money. I don't skim through life I don't run at the edge of what I can afford either. I have already stated several times things that I am either going to buy or have bought for my car already. I do enjoy life but not too extravegantly.

as far as having an extra vehicle, I can't see going without one. what happens when something happens to your ONLY vehicle? I just get in my OTHER vehicle. you are stuck trying to figure stuff out. is it really extravegant to have 2 vehicles? that buddy of mine with the truch has an even dozen (really, he does). most of them are projects and I think he has 3 running right now but that is still 2 more than you have. another friend of mine just sold one of his and is now down to 4. I don't see having 2 as that odd. I guess if it is a space issue but still.

also, you say all you like is the design...what else is there with a car? power you can change, mileage you can change, color you can change, design...you can but it is damn hard.

also you talk about garms kit being only about 3k but realize that you have to put it on. at that price YOU have to put it on. a shop charges a pretty penny to put on a turbo kit and properly tune it.

past all that, do what you want. it's your car and your money. if your dad is so good with money, why isn't he advising you on this? maybe you don't like his answer of keep it or lose an ass load of money.

I would think that canada would have something like edmunds or KBB and if they don't, at least it would give you an idea of the worth of it.

[ilikerice]

i agree with this statement.. i do not like being stranded asking for a ride to the parts store when something brakes on my car, ESP if its a project car. lesson learned when i blew up my first crx motor and it was my DD. bought a tacoma after that to haul engines.. lol. but since then i think everyone should have a back up car. i got a bone stock 96 civic that i hardly touch, but i will drive that to the store to pick up needed parts when i boost my yaris.

im no baller, but i do not let myself get stranded and up sh*ts creek without a paddle anymore.. its not fun.

i say, keep the yaris.. get another car.. it doesnt have to be new.

No 16k is what I owe, I financed coming out to 20,430$. It's value is low 11,500-12,600 high.

Garms kit is actually 1,600$ but I counted 3k to a rough estimate of installation etc.

Also if my car ever does break down it's new, road side assistance it to the dealer, then just use their shuttle to where I am going. Or just grab one of my dads cars which is the reason I have room for one.

Yeah I found Canadian KBB

Like I said again. This is a brain storm thread.

Atm I am looking at some used muscle cars to work on again like when I had my classic mustang. I like the Camaros that look like catfish guilty :[

[BEEF]

garms kit is $1649 and there is a disclaimer that larger injectors and MANAGEMENT not included. my assumption was that you doubled the price knowing that you were going to need these two vital items. 180hp at the tires will require some serious management and it isn't something you are just going to bolt on and go with. you will have to do qutie a bit of tuning too. that is close to double the hp of a stock one (at the tires).

good luck with whatever you are looking. remember though if you keep a car long enough, it does go out of warranty and eventually you move away from your parents so that is something to think about too.

(old muscle cars don't have warranties)

Yeah, thats why I doubled the price.

If a vehicle runs out of warranty it does, put money aside to fix it. I see teenagers daily on the side of the road because they blow all their money on their vehicles and don't save for when that stuff happens.

Also I know they don't I had one, repairs aren't so bad.

If I do turbo a Yaris its warranty is voided anyways.

[BEEF]

you totally missed it.

the management and injectors will put you probably around the 3k mark and then you still have to put it on. that is with parts in a box to your door, no installation. still have to tune it and turn all the bolts to get it on your car. shops around here are $80-120/hour.

I talked to garm about the turbo kit and how it was so much cheaper than the supercharger kit and he basically told me that you would spend about the same amount of money on the turbo kit but it would give you a lot more power. that was a while back but he sells some engine management stuff and it ain't cheap, not at all.

so your car runs out of warranty and you order parts...what do you do for the week or so it takes for parts to get to your door? for that matter, how do you get to the parts store period? sometimes money will ony get you so far.

There's no way you're going to be putting a turbo kit on for $3k with labor included. A turbo kit is complicated and will have many hidden costs. With everything said and done I spent about $2700. I also installed and tuned the kit myself.

I really can't wrap my mind around why you're so against having two cars, especially if you're going to be toying with atleast one of them. I had a decent amount of down time during my turbo install. It was a huge PITA. The same can be said with the car I recently bought from Garm. It's a sweet car, but a second car is practically required for when sh!t happens and also for the winter months. That's why in time I'll likely take the turbo off the yaris and put it nearly back to stock.

Also - the thought that you're making 2400 bi monthly hurts my brain. You're like not even 20, right?

keep the yaris, pay it off asap (double up on your payments) OR

keep the yaris, use any extra money you have out of the month and set it aside

After you pay off the yaris, you will have a nice down payment (if not fully paid off) on ANOTHER new car you can modify and just use your yaris for a backup.
and get this.. you will still have only 1 payment

Keeping the yaris no mods. Buying this as another project car, for those whove seen my old mustang you can tell I am great at restoring.

Gracias. Going today to negociate if they dont lower it even abit then I'll just skip it but its what I am interested in.

Needs some TLC, no body rust but rust in the wheel wells a little, needs paint.

[GanjaBabe420]

You have a nice car! & got a great deal on it! I say you pay it off! a project car is a good idea...

:bs: lol how do u expect me to believe you have skills in restoring and knowledge when you ask how to do things on the forums about a simple ol car like a Yaris come on Antonio you are lying to ur self not the members

[JumpmanYaris]

BTW that is not a GTA, and what is there to restore in that car?

Yeah, you gotta wonder where the truth lies based on some posts pulled from his bumper issue thread.


bondo body filler will work

What is this you speak of and how will the results be? Also where can I acquire this?

Thanks for your help man

Why do you think I didn't post to much here trying to say what to do in giving advise if he really wanted to give rid of it his dad would have done so I bet my left nut that mustang is daddys car

[OTA'sTOY]

thats what happens when your young, never know what you what

lmao :bellyroll:

ohh to be that young again...

Restoring a vehicle as in.

New body panels, repainting not actually fixing a hole etc.

PS- It is a GTA, has verification and the emblems and options of the GTA.

I'm not a pro at it, my dad is he collected camaros as I've stated before and the mustang was my introduction to cars that I 'helped' him with. He is more technical while I helped restore it in ways I could he would tell me where to put things etc what to build it wasn't so much technical.

Also, you realize a mustang from 1967 is METAL. Not plastic right?
And older car is beyond easier than the cars now a days if you knew anything about their internals etc.

Do you honestly think, in 2060 that 2010 mustangs will be driving around as classics? hahahaha what a joke.

Even if my dad did buy it to get me involved with him, then hand it to me.

did your dad never give you anything Yarisman? ;) before you whine about my income aswell if it makes you sleep better at night my dad also got me my job that pays what it does so you can nag about that too.

EDIT:

The place would lower the firebird from 7,900$ to 6,000$

It needed TLC, had a rust hole on the rear right fender, needed new paint it was peeling, dent on the front left quarter panel, suspension needed work, brakes sounded like they needed to be replaced, and it sounded like there was a hole I believe in the exhaust somewhere.

Offered 2,000$ cash my dad came with me as my 'mechanic'. They said no, then down the street they had a mint LOOKING, formula firebird with new paint for 6500$

Didn't really look as the dealer was closed. So the search continues!

[JumpmanYaris]

No, kid he didn't but my grandpa did 91 Mitsubishi mirage which I later (when I was ur age) modded the fuck out of it including T02 and nitrous kit and no I didn't install it my self I had it done at a shop it's the only answer I am gonna give u to ur irrelevant questions if you must know

I am sorry bro but you know it's truth I could care less what he does to the car but it's just funny on how people want to try and fool others on a forum that is always giving answers to questions on how to do things

Like I said to my wife, I am sure he wants to get rid of the car because of friends thinking the car is for girls and is slow so he wants to get something maybe fast or better looking just to get friends aproval, it's kinda hard when the car is not his, perhaps dad? Who knows. anthonio brother aclara esto si no Es tuyo no Es tuyo papa
Typical teenager

[.Kevin.]

I have pictures of me with it at the dealer ship and when I sat in it at 12 kms. I'm 17 so it cannot be in my name. Why would it be so important for me to prove it to you that the Yaris is mine? I have all the sets of keys last time I checked.

Lol when you think I care what you think so you get mad and keep instigating.

If you lived where I do, we dont see vehicles on DUBS or all that junk, everyone here has a muscle car from good condition to shitty. It's almost like riced cars in LA.

Enough of the hate from you get out of the thread. Or close it. When I do buy my second car sometime this month if they pull anything nice I will post it.

[JumpmanYaris]

So mods can close thank god enough of the BS :clap:

YES!!!!!!!!

this seems to have become a bit of a pissing match (now we are all wet....and stink)

I'm sayin'! My eyebrow has been up near my hairline for quite a while reading some of these posts. :rolleyes:

$4800 CDN a month at 17 is a phenomenal amount of money. I don't make that now and I'm a few steps from a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences. Almost $60K a year while in high school? Looks like I'm in the wrong country. :eek:

On topic:
1. A base Yaris Sedan costs $20K up there? That's a f-ing rip.
2. It's a terrible idea to lump up the sums of two cars and only get one in return. You'd be essentially driving around in a $48,000 Civic. A CIVIC. Granted, the Si is one of my favorite smaller cars, but that's a ridiculous amount of money for one, Canadian or not.

My opinion; double or even triple up your payments on the Yaris if you have so many oodles of cash floating around after your monthly bills. Stop modifying it and just get it looking straight and pay the sucker off ASAP. Then you don't have to wait four years to trade up to something you actually want, and you won't be essentially paying for two cars and getting only one in return. I have the sneaking suspicion you've been told this many times over already, though. On here and probably at home by Father-May-I. It is seeming more and more like a case of you just not wanting to stare the honest simple truth in the face.

Only thing you should be raising eyebrows are is the facts.

Prince George BC- Where I live

1. Biggest exporter of Lumber in BC and possibly CANADA (Sawmills)
2. Pollution Mills as we call them also MASS here
3. Forestry
4. Construction

ALL these jobs require you to have grade 12 at most, and unlike most towns WELDING is popular here and you need grade. 10 equivalency.

All these jobs start at ATLEAST 20 dollars here, all you need is connections and as I said my dad got me my job. He isn't my boss but he got my Job an makes sure that I get my ass whipped. So I work hard to get what I do.

Downfall is if any sawmills close etc (Which HAS happened to THREE) is people lose their jobs and with no education they go to shitty jobs.

All that degree you paid 60k for is a piece of paper that makes getting a job easier, and in a way guarantees you. As my dad always said- you don't need to go to college to become wealthy, it just makes things easier.

SO unless you are a Lawyer, Doctor, Architect, Certain engineer, Scientist. You're not special.

Yaris are like 14k sticker price here. I financed it because I didn't have my job at the time. It was 20,430 or so after taxes I have all the papers in a folder somewhere. Financing is always a rip off unless you pay it quicker or it is more efficient in your own way. I look at it as Leasing to own as it is better to finance than to lease. Also more and more people are beginning to finance through the years which explains the immense amount of increase in Financing 'deals'.

If it matters, I've worked where I do 10 months now. Calculate

2400$ Bi-Weekly for 10 months = just under 60 grand Canadian.

I don't want a civic it was just an example if I was calculating correctly.

I also have 4 grand sitting waiting for a project car to pop up on craigslist or kijiji so I can buy it and keep the yaris as a winter car as I stated already.

I'm amazed at how clueless people are and ignorant. Maybe you live in the wrong country? Lol, location is everything like in comparison in Canada Alberta you can go work in the oil industry there with grade 12 and be making 40 dollars an hour it is HUGE for that.

You can close the thread PK. This is sad.

EDIT:

We also have CN Rail which is a huge train branch and it has a main location here in Prince George, it pays atleast 25$ if they put you in direct work with trains.

Pharmacist here gets 65 dollars an hour atleast, my friend gets that working at shoppers drug mart.

65 x 8 (days work) = 520$

520 x 5 = 2600$ In a week, which is what I make in two.

Obviously Pharmacy pays more than what I do, and it is a guaranteed job almost since you have a paper for it.

My job is average in my eyes, but in some cases not saying anyone here directly.
