so your saying I have zero dollars saved for the actual car? $4K seems like an awful lot. I understand insurance, title, tags, etc., but that seems like way too much. My last car costed $2500 and that was every penny I had. It worked out fine, the insurance payment was only like $300, because my car was $150/month insurance. I payed for repairs as I went. I always managed to have the right amount of money. In the end the car costed over $1500 in repairs alone not to mention insurance and the multiple emissions tests needed until it finally passed. A GS-R shouldn't be much more than $150/month for a 17 year old, right (I know it depends on the insurance type and all)? 6 grand seems like alot of money for a '92 GSR, did you get it a few years ago? Later.
