Save your money and buy over time. Don't finance. Financing is the same as flushing money down your toilet.

As a recovering charge-aholic i can advise you to just save your money and build your car slow with cash. I just finally got out of debt and what a great feeling it is. It sucked when I was paying off credit cards from 5 setups ago

Couldn't agree more man. I of all people know about this kinda thing and now do business the same way you do. It's cash or nothing.

Agreed 100%

Financing a turbo kit through a shop is a good way to turn a $3000 kit into a $5000 by the time it's all said and done.

If you can't pay cash I would suggest using a very low interest rate card. The best thing is to definately save up and buy what you can piece by piece cash.
(FYI: The GE capitol rate on Car Care One accounts is generally 22.98%)

I hope everyone owns their cars in this thread, and that means if your making payments...you don't own it.

Yeah and the owner has to be one of the biggest A(_Y_) holes ever. Please don't buy from them!!!

if i was a shop i wouldnt finance... our shop (not a performance shop) stopped doing it for the most part a few years ago.. too many people dont pay their bills.

just save your money and you'll be able to buy parts soon enough.

Never said he was a nice or cool guy....just said I know him. I've known him since he worked out of his house.

Their financing is through a finance company....they are paid whether the buyer pays his bills or not.

I own my civic and my 04 ranger 4x4, still make payments on my 06 WRX but not for long. I wouldn't mod a car I made payments on. Been there, done that, didn't work out well lol.

Sure I'm 70k under right now, but I have a new truck, trailer and school bills. But I still have plenty of money to kill more than monthly payments and play. Thats the key, if you can't afford it...don't buy it.</TD></TR></TABLE>


That's a bit different. Hell I am 150k or so under, BUT, I "own" my house (well, the mail box and the front porch are paid for, the bank owns the rest still) but like everyone else said, financing a "race" car is rediculous. It adds up stupid fast when you don't really notice your spending it because you're only making payments on your parts.

like everyone has said, living beyond your means will only get you into trouble down the road. i waited 3 yrs to pc my kit together as i had the $. plus i own my car as well, so that does help not making a payment......

good luck, and be smart....

best thing I can tell you is prioritize...and buy when you can afford it. Ive been slowly working my project since 1999. Now I can finaly afford to take it off the road and go full tube chasis. I learned the hard way back in the day trying to jump right in and compete with the big dogs...it was realy expensive and didnt last long. now I can afford to keep up on the maintence and race full time.

this was my mistake at first too. My consequences? I had to sell the hot rod project a few years back and started on a new SFWD project which should be done at the end of the off season. All owned and paid for.

dont finance. I HATE CREDIT CARDS.

I used to have a srt4 that I financed and put 7k into it on credit (it adds up fast).

long story short. it cought on fire and I was 2k upside down on the car and still owed the 7k.

**** happens.

I now OWN a 94' EX and a 91' crx that I pieced together a turbo kit and still owe a little on the credit cards from 3yrs ago
