However, if you're going to go through with this anyways than you will probably need your parents to co-sign. If you want your car in 2009 you will need to go preorder now-ish; you will be at the back of the line but since you're getting a V6 you may end up cutting some V8 people because of the 50/50 build ratio.
Not getting a V6, waste of time. Apartment is also a waste of time and money, you will never own it. I am going to live at home and build up a good down payment on a mortgage. And the fire dept will pay for all collage expenses. In the book "Debt Cures" by Kevin Trudeau, it states that having 5 credit reports is optimal for credit building. And having only 1 card means your report could be reported to only 1 credit reporting companies, hence the reason to have more than 1 card.
