I'm getting through school with 80% of my tuition paid for via scholarships. I'm paying the rest by working 25-30hrs a week, and saving the leftovers. Right out of college I have a job lined up. Either here, or out of state. Either way, I expect to make a 5000-7000 down payment, and finance the rest over 7 yrs to keep the mo. payments under 400 (not ideal...but
). The Camaro...will be my college loans.
I've also done some moderate research on insurance rates and gas (which I pay for myself, as well). I've got a spotless record, and all sortsa discounts including the def. driving course, an alumni discount, and the "good grades" discount, etc. Given all that, insurance is no higher for an SRT8 Challenger or a GT Mustang than I'm already paying for my Cobalt (highest possible estimates). It actually made me sick when I found out -- I'm getting had on my little car!!
Plus, gas will be the same or LESS than what I pay now (even at 5 bucks a gallon), because I won't be driving 40 miles a day just for school.
I don't feel the need to justify my position/abilitys to anyone, but I wanted to share simply as proof that not everyone needs to be 40 to buy one of these things.
