last she checked her score was like 796 she thinks. she looked up her bank and the rate is 7.49%.

i feel like she might be able to get a better rate at the dealership, but is there any downside to paying the dealership over the bank?

ever driven or even sat in one?

they ride nice, get around in snow good, are decently priced and have excellent interior space.

we cant all afford to drive fancy 2 seaters and change cars every six months cuz we get bored and live at home and have disposable income out the ass

i told her to look at the vibe and cobalt. didn't even think about the hhr (forgot they existed).

i think we might go to her bank first today and see if they can loan her the money instead of her paying the dealership every month.
Astra?

I was wondering about that too - don't have much experience with them, but they seem to have decent deals and better % for financing with the dealer than at the bank.

smart with your money?

if i lived at home until i was 24 i could have had really nice things too ... unfortunately i wasnt so lucky ... nothing to do with being smart with money

im not mad merely pointing out that the things you look for in a vehicle and what keiths gf is looking for are 2 completely different things. she doesnt have the luxury of picking the nicest car on the lot. she has to go with whats relatively inexpensive yet has decent features to offset what is most likely a low end design. theres plenty of people who do like the HHR thats why not all cars look alike we dont all have the same tastes. sometimes the way a car looks is low on a persons priority. i for one am over worrying how my car looks to the world, if its cheap gets me around and doesnt break im happy
