Re: New car?

After reading the follow-up, I definetely feel that you should keep the Cavy.

I talked with my financial advisor about my situation a while back, before buying the S2000. He told me, that if you can't pay for it in 2 years, you can't afford it. IMO, 72 month loan is way too long, especially if you're not going to keep the car that long. I actually got a 60 month loan for the S2000, but I'm paying $542/month, and this way I will pay it off in 2.5 years. I know that sounds like a lot, but I'm probably not going to do any major mods until it's paid off. Then I will go FI.

I really like your cavalier. It's such a sleeper. BTW, you need to post some pictures of it with the new wheels.
