Will I qualify for financing a FRS
Just a general question, not looking for a "definitive" answer just wanna see if anyone else might have been in a similar position and can probably tell me what to expect when I apply for a loan.
I'm 19 years old currently residing in B.C. Canada and am planning to make my first purchase for a FRS through financing either at a dealership or a bank. I have 2 jobs, 1 that pays 250-300/month been there for a year, and another that pays 800-1000/month been there for a 1-2months. I have student loans that I "don't" have to pay until I graduate (5 years later), approx. around 13k. Other than that I have absolutely no debts. Have no credit. My payments would look around something like $33,516(full value after taxes and other fees without deducting downpayment) 72 months term 2.99% (not sure if i will be approved for that rate tho) $185 bi weekly (7k down) Now I realize with no established credit it'd be hard for me to get approved, but I do indeed plan to put a downpayment of (20%+) and have a trusted co-signer with good credit(decent, not bad, not "great"). In addition I plan on paying Insurance up front so my monthly commitments will be strictly for the car. (1000income-370carloan=630 for other expenses every month) Do you guys think there's a chance I might get approved Last edited by Freshhprince; 08-18-2014 at 09:08 PM. |

You are making $1,050/month 33,516 - 7000 = 26516 26,516 * .2 = 5,300 puts you back at 31,816 / 72 months $441 / month you owe to the lender 1050 - 441 = $609 You are left with $609 per month for Car Insurance, Health insurance, cell phone, Gas, Food, Entertainment. Seems like a very poor choice to get this car as you cannot afford it. Rough numbers perhaps. I would not toss away the $7,000 you saved up for btw. That is also very silly.

And yes, they will find a way to finance you...but you'll be getting screwed in the long run. Be careful about interest rate.

Don't know prices in BC but here in Ontario:
Premium gas - $1.45 to $1.50 a liter Insurance - Some young guy correct me but in the neighbourhood of $200 a month? Oil - Almost $8.00 a liter for the grade of synthetic you need plus $10.00 for filter even if you do yourself Tires - Oh say, $80 each when you wear the out and double that for snows if you plan to drive in winter (Know Vancouver doesn't get much snow but don't want it wrapped around a pole) Just saying, BUYING the car and USING the car are two different scenarios when it comes to cost. U.S. Guys/Gals .... YES our premium gas cost around $6.00 a gallon! That is not a typo. |

I definitely understand the financial situation I'm putting myself in, I also have enough in savings in my bank account to act as a safety net if ever something were to happen, approx. 25k. And it also helps that my parents are financially well off and don't mind supporting me if I need any help. |

No way! Owning this car is going to eat up a huge chunk of your income. At 19 you don't want to be spending that much of your money on a car (or any time for that matter). If you had more saved for a down payment or were pulling more in per month I say "ya, why not?" but at your income..."pass"

Serious talk: why spend any of "your own money" if your folks are going to front you the cash, regardless of how you want to word it to make it sounds like you're paying for it through your own hard earned labor, since they're already giving you an allowance? Just have them pay for the damn car and leave it under your name since that's what they're kinda doing anyways. You get to save your bank and build your credit at the same time. Why make things more complicated than they need to be. |

You can not afford the car. That payment is approaching the range acceptable for something like a house (percent of your income.) You can afford the payments, at the moment, yes. It's a very risky gamble though, which could leave you completely stuck. You're not being 100% irresponsible, having some cash stored away and all, but you really want to avoid putting that into a car. It's a huge gamble - it's not one I can recommend, and I hear others saying the same. Personally, I won't buy a car on terms that exceed the manufacturer's warranty. I don't want to owe on something that may randomly cost me a bundle in repairs. If you want an FR-S, perhaps one on the used market would save you a bundle, lower the risk to reasonable, and get you the car you want... C |

I dealt with low income while being in college, ended up with way more debt then you say you will. I drove a cheap car all through college and had no extra money. I would recommend to talk to the dealer and bank and find out actual interest rates. Get insurance quotes, figure out how many kilometers you will typically drive( then add half again that number) to find out your monthly fuel bill. Add all those numbers up and see how much you have left. Keep that safety net as large as possible. Another thing to consider is job demand for the career you have chosen and average pay, once you finish school it may be hard to find a job. One reason I chose my specific career path was the outcome as far as job flexability and very nice pay. I have friends who chose other careers and either don't have a job in that field or are making next to nothing. Plan for the future, what you want right now may not be the best for you 3 or 4 years down the road.
