I was planning on getting it with 2 weeks or so. I want my fr-s soo bad! I don't wanna wait any longer but I don't wanna screw myself over with payments.
Any insight is much appreciated  |

What I'm getting at is wait. You might think it's the most important thing in the world to you but it's not. If you buy it one, two, three or even 10 years from now it will be every bit as exciting as if you bought it today. Plus, if you wait you won't have put yourself in such a hole financially. And on top of that if you wait it will be newer than the one I'm getting in a few weeks.
Slow down Grasshopper. You've got a whole life ahead of you and it will go a lot easier if you apply some common sense to it.

this is "dead nuts" accurate! try to keep in mind,it's a "material" thing, a car! granted,it's an exciting car,but still, a car,and if "the car" will dump you into a very precarious financial condition,then why would you want to chop your head off to spite your face? i will be picking one up soon as well,and i can certainly understand how you feel,BUT it's still just an inanimate object,and IF you cannot afford it,then common sense should tell you you don't want to make your life miserable paying for it,because it this is the case,the it's NOT worth it over the long term! give yourself a chance,and make a little bit of money first,so you can get "the car" a few years from now when it makes good financial sense for you to do so!..as the asians say! it's ''suuuup" to you!..good luck!
