Okay, you're on a one way trip to DEBT. You don't want to be there. I paid for my swap on credit card 9 months ago. Those things are hard to pay off. It's a pin. I finally paid it off when I made a $1500 profit selling my 2nd car. You dont want debt. It sucks. If you cant afford to save for a swap in 6 months, then you will be in debt for a few years when you take out a loan.

My little brother has $1500 in debt right now and he makes the minimum payments. His debt goes up every month even though he isnt buying anything else. Interest sucks.
