Wow that's a lot for one vehicle! What interest rate did you get and did you buy it new? I pay $910 a month for both vehicles but put $18k down.

sorry for the rant.. but these 600 700 900 payments.. you can buy a damn house for that.. or have a much nicer place for that kind of cash..

I see nothing wrong with a 600-900 car payment. It's relative to the income you make. To some folks $900 car payment is unheard of, to others it's not. Would I pay $900 month for a car, probably not, but I wouldn't discourage someone else.

I can tell you this much, nowhere in South FL will you find a house payment of $600-900. I don't even think you'd get an apartment for that.

Yea good point... Yea I'm renting an apt right now as I'm still unsure of where to buy a house and my rent is $1320... Definitely no apts around where I live for 600-900 unfortunately.

My point is I would rather spend he cash on a house not a car.. I mean id rather save the cash and flat out but car and allow me a higher mortgage... Shoot in my area on the lake you can't even find an apartment for less than 700. We were paying 950 for our old appartment before we got the house
