If the interest rate is cheaper than your credit card's, I don't see why not.

i financed my first set of wheels as les schwab. i had to put 1/3 down when i ordered them then i just paid as much as i could whenever i could till i paid them off. it took me about 3 1/2 months. i'd recommend it if you cant afford the wheels right away.

Just pay it off in full before the 90 days is up and you'll be fine.

Resist the temptation, debt is bad. Why not just wait until you have the cash saved up.

I financed my engine swap. I work at a grocery store so there was no other way. I say as long as you can afford it, do it. Paying interest is way better than waiting!

If i had to save, it would have taken like six months. I used the banks money for the swap and still had my money for mods.

Damn, I had my car for a year and a half before I had enough money for a turbo setup...And now you owe the bank money. I never have and never will owe anyone money on a car (payed cash for the Civic and all of my mods).
