never ever ever agree to a 72 month loan...

Also, later in thread this guy says not to put 7k down.

Monstar may be a smart guy, but his financial advice is shit.

A rule of thumb on on 60 month loans is...every thousand dollars will equal about 20 dollars a month.

So, 7k down saves you 140$ a month in payments. Also avoids interest.

As a younger person, you most likely will get a bad interest rate...we all have been there.

It sucks, but you should pay interest on a car you like and will enjoy...not a POS.
