I'm willing to bet if you have saved up 24K to put down on a car, you probably won't have any trouble saving money for mods when the time is right.

I would put 22,000 down and spend the other 2 grand on an exhaust + CIA. That's the first thing I usually do to my cars anyways.

If you have been able to save 24k wait a few more months and just buy the car outright. The money you would normally allocate for your car payment would pile up pretty quickly towards mods =) winter is coming anyway... unless you live somewhere with mild winters. In that case I would calculate the highest monthly payment that I coukd COMFORTABLY pay. Put down enough money to reach that figure, then dump the rest on mods. (This is all assuming that your 24k is all expendable income. If that's your life savings id stash 10k for a rainy day, but your personal finances aren't my business)

Good luck with your new ride. Hope to see some pics of it here once you get the ball rilling!!

You can laugh all you want but i love it and cost me less than the SS. A guy with a SS black was going crazy when he see my car and he was complainant that he dont had the cash to do something like this.
With the chip to the engine I got a extra 60HP so that is good for me.

Pay no attention to his rude and childish comments... He makes them in just about every V6 thread...

Your car is AWESOME looking and it was money well spent!!!!
