My payment is a hefty $657 a month... But I make big bucks, so it's not a huge issue.

I made sure I could still afford the payments at my base pay (no commissions) I make a decent living and as long as hubby works we're ok.

"Burden? I have a car budget I calculated and it fits nicely."
Did not have a selection but the above would best fit me. Allthough I will have the car paid off 43 months early (scedueld payment is $343, I instead pay $1200 a month). Just 4 more payments to go

My payment is $580 a month for the ZL1. Got a great trade-in for my SS.

I am currently hiding it from the bank and trying to avoid all the credit agencies after me at all costs.
Lol it fits my budget nicely. I had a nice chunk of change set aside for mods. |

Following my dad's advise it fits into my budget nicely and still allows for me to not stress over the payment.

Mine fits my budget nicely, but I would definitely like to have the payment money back. I think it's kinda pricey but easily affordable.

Used to commute in a Silverado... getting this car saves me a lot of gas money, by comparison... damn near pays for itself.

I paid my 2010 2SS/RS off over a year ago (took me 18 months). I believe my payment was $600 (GM employee pricing helped there) but I never paid the minimum. The timing worked out nicely because I bought a house this year. I did some calculations on trading for a ZL1, but it just doesn't make sense to trade a car under 3 years old. They will always make some change that makes the one you have not as good, so I will just mod instead.

My wife who is an accountant made me go over my finances 3 times before she let me buy it. The payment isn't earth shattering only $440 a month but I totally understand her reason behind it.

Bought used so that my previous car payment wouldn't change. Only way I could do it, and still not have my wife have the line "Well you bought a Camaro" available for future arguments.

Fits into my budget. I even do it the suzie orman way and have many months saved up if I loose my job.

I financed at 1.9% and bought it used with 15K miles on it saving me over $10K right off the top. 2012 2SS/RS 45th Anniv.... It would be retarded to pay it off early or pay cash for it. My investments make more interest than that!
