I don't have a middle name. My story is always "it cost extra to file one and my parents couldn't afford it" but based on your tale maybe they were trying to tell me all hope was lost....

the BRZ was my first car payment. I only bought cars cash until then. but at that point I wanted something brand new that I knew I wouldn't have to fix at all for at least 3 years. it's been really good to me so far.

No one NEEDS a brand new car but... If you can get what you want at a very, very low rate why not? It's not like your money would be earning a huge amount in a standard account. Over the last dozen years or more the most the wife or I have paid was .9% Heck she's had several cars at zero percent. My tS is costing me $500 over 48 months. FIVE Hundred paltry dollars, and that's Canadian dollars! That's why I jumped at it! |

Stumbled across an extremely good explanation video of what headers actually do while "working" this afternoon.

Way back in the day when I worked for a place that provided me a company car I was able to make money on it a couple of times. I would drive the car for the lease, then they would offer to sell it to me for the end of lease price which was less than market value. I bought the car, then sold it at market value. I'd make $1,500 or so on the transaction, but that was a fortune to me at the time.
