I’m about to get $4.5k in taxes and want to use it for a down payment on a cool car
If I make $1400 every other month and pay 150 monthly for car insurance and have a credit score of 680 can I afford a used corvette c5 or should I wait until I have more money and buy a c6?
Are there any other good not so expensive cool cars I could get instead?
>>
I want a manual but there aren’t any available near me
>>
There's no reason to finance a car a 20 year old car under $20k. Just save up enough to buy it in cash.
>>
>>28993699
But as I have written I don’t make that much so it would take me forever
I was neglected as a child and received no education so finding a high paying career isn’t an option for me
>>
>>28993696
>I make $1400 every other month
brother
you're not financing shit with that income
>>
>>28993696
The longer you wait the more expensive it's going to get, eventually it will go from a used boomermobile to a collectors item.

BUT you can't afford to keep that piece of shit running with your income. Work on fixing your income.
>>
>>28993704
I meant to say every other week lol
>>
>>28993696
You're a broke nigger who can't afford a corvette if you can't afford a cash price for a 20 year old sports car. Go save a bunch of money and look at C4 corvettes or 2000s era mustangs/camaros until you have some income. You could also look at a base 986 porsche boxter, those are like 10k and also a timebomb you poor faggot.
>>
>>28993971
That's still not enough for you to be thinking about financing a 20 year old car. Save up, find a fun beater, and pay cash. Then take what you would've spent on the monthly payment and use that to keep it running.
>>
>>28993696
>680 Credit Score

How bout’ you make on-time payments to your credit card or your rent for a year and get that into the mid 700’s. The Corvette community will gladly gatekeep your broke ass by being more than you can afford. A clean manual C5 is still a 15k car, automatics go for 12-13k.

Protip: I bought $2500 worth of stock years ago, I was able to sell and buy a C7 cash after 4 years of holding. Invest first, then buy your dream.
>>
>buying a 20k car on 36k income
If it breaks down you're fucked btw
>>
>broke loser wants to look cool
Get a bike you can look cool on a 5k bike cheap fuel and cost etc.
>>
>>28993701
You're a loser with a loser mindset. No one but you can make you succeed. Want education? Join the army and get free college. Want a high paying job? Become an RN, make $65k a year with a 2 year degree and zero experience, or do travel work and make double that. Don't have basic education? Ever type of class is available for free online. You are the reason you are a loser. Become the reason you are a winner.
>>
>>28993701
you foolish self-pity party throwing faggot
not only have I received no education but I dug myself into a $50k pit trying to get it and not only have I clawed my way out I now have a six figure career working my way up from grunt job to grunt job

the only thing stopping you is your own excuse making ass
go get a GED and start from there
>>
>>28994688
Probably takes too long for that loser. He could do GI bill -> RN -> CRNA and make an easy 300k but that's too much effort.
>>
Are you illegal or part-time? $700 a month at 40 hours a week is like $4.37. either way, as others have said with that income and abysmal credit score at best you'll get a high risk loan with a fuck you interest rate giving you a bhph meme level payment, even if you go for an 8 year loan or whatever the longest they're doing is now. I just bought a new used car literally 4 days ago and even with an 820 and 80 to 100k a year the best I was able to get was a 5.5%.
That's not to mention if pretty much anything goes wrong on the car and especially if you can't wrench, you'll be underwater practically immediately. They're not Ferraris to maintain, but they are dedicated sports cars making some parts (especially wear parts like tires) and problems expensive to fix vs an economy car or whatnot. Even discounting that while they do get good mileage for their age and performance, it'll still rape you on gas if you drive a lot and especially if you have a lead foot.

>Recommending a 25-30 year old porsche to to the living embodiment of the poverty line
Nigga this dude can't even afford to pay attention, he won't even make it back to his driveway before he goes broke with that thing. Might as well recommend him a land rover while you're at it.

>>28993696
Get a C4 if you insist. They're more maintainable and a nice one is half the price of a C5.

>>
>>28994806
I think the C5 is the sexiest car ever and it’s faster than anything I’ve driven and I’m not a racer
>>
>>28994805
this is true but you've also gotta have more respect for yourself. you can read!
Anyway Google an auto loan calculator and move the numbers around until the payment is only ~10% of your monthly take-home. With non-prime credit you might see around 12-16% APR for a used loan, so yeah a bigger down payment is the move. And don't let any sales rat show you "pick your payment" options that are just based on varying loan terms, they'll try to get you out the door with 72 months for that 20 year old car to make it "affordable".

Debt isn't always bad but it definitely is for a guy that makes 30k a year trying to buy a 20 year old car for 20k.

>Might as well recommend him a land rover while you're at it.
Yeah on second thought OP, go buy any Jaguar/Land Rover from the mid-2010s kek, take out a 30k loan on a rapidly depreciating car.

>>28994709
>To think my neighbor sold his silver 05 c5 corvette for $4500
No way that had any less than 6 gorillion miles on it. Also 2005 is a C6, 2004 was the last year of C5s.

>>28994633
>A clean manual C5 is still a 15k car, automatics go for 12-13k.
Yeah, you aren't ever getting that price unless you get lucky at an auto auction. C5s from dealers are 20k for a manual and 18k for an automatic. Private sale boomers, knows whats theys gots and demand similar pricing. I saw a private sale boomer put a 2004 base convertible local to me for 27k kek.

You said in the OP that you make 1400 every other month. Does this mean we should also be making fun of your typos too?

You don't have two decade old corvette money. You don't even have 20 year old mustang money. Buy something cheap and economical and spend your money on something worthwhile, like education and job training.

>life isn't fair
It is fair when you make $17.50 and hour and blow your money on stupid shit like this. Just because you have cash doesn't mean you instantly have to spend it all, you stupid fuck. You're poor because you act like this. If you want that V8, then fucking make a 5 year plan and work for it.

A vette is great value for money but I absolutely would not finance a C5 or a C6. These are 20+ year old cars. Shit will break and it will eat into your paycheck. The powertrains are bullet proof if well maintained and the cars in general are stout. Things to look out for are electrical gremlins mainly, but most of those are solved after 2000.

Also, is that 700 a month straight up pocket money or do you have other expenses. If this is your "fun" money then you could probably swing it, but if you also need to spend cash on groceries etc, then don't even bother.

I have food stamps so I get free food
If I can make a $5000 down payment payment, the monthly payment should be no more than 300

If you want that corvette, you'll have to make some sacrifices. Letter carriers start at $22.88/hr, clerks start at $21.44/hr, mail handlers start at $19.02/hr, janitors start at $23.37/hr and mechanics start at $28.75/hr. And workplace treatment varies from building to buildings. Do what you gotta do to get that car or just be broke and don't get it.
