Man, you guys are putting a lot down and still will have large payments! I'm not going to have anything to put down as I will be paying on my credit cards for the next few years that I built up going to school the past 3 years. I was hoping to get a couple grand out of my nissan on trade-in and would like the payments to be no more than 400/month for the base V8 with very few options if any. I may have to do an 84 month loan or something. If not I may have to wait 2 years until my car is paid off...

Welllll, depending on what the price ranges are going to be, I'll go for the entry level v-8 and put 20k +/- and go for a three year loan.

I plan on getting a base v8 (god I hope its an LS3...)
I'm looking at trading in my stang, and putting down 3-3.5k cash, so thats around 17k, maybe a little more depending on what they give me for the mustang. |

I don't know what ya'll are doing (in life) to be able to put down those figures,...
My goal is $2-3k, perhaps even $5k. I'm a father of three kids and an E5 in the Navy. I already have a $1k CD growing (compound interest), and will purchase another CD during my next deployment. I also bought a $1k savings bond, ($500 actual paid) but it won't mature fully until 2013. I can cash it in early, which I'll most likely do, so I'm hoping to get at least $800 out of it come 2010 (or 2011). Figure I can save up a few bucks here and there, I just might have $3k to put down. So what does everyone think the HiPo version will run? LSA/or supercharged LS3, fully loaded, pretty well every option except under-coating?

So even if I put $15,000 down that's still $20,000+taxes. Which would be a payment of over $400 per month for 5 years. If the Camaro comes in cheaper, great. But I'm not getting my hopes up for something I doubt will happen. |

Well considering you already dive a brand new CTS, putting down $40k is like me buying two packs of cigarettes instead of one,...

Hopefully I will be able to make a down payment (like 10.000 or something) by March 2009 and get the basic V6.
I have never bought a car, so this will be my first "big" purchase... I was thinking about setting up a savings account (only have a regular student bank acc at the moment, not a student anymore though) and put like $400 every month in there right away. Ideas are appreciated |

Sorry to blow it for ya,... but the AF doesn't get ALL the perks. A buddy of mine is a special language linguist (CTI1) and just reenlisted for $75k
