Unhappy

Well ever since I bought my v6 I've always wished I waited a little longer and got the GT. I do think the v6 is a amazing car and love everything about it, it's just that I got thinking why not upgrade now while I still owe 20K on it I could get it paid off on the trade in and find a GT for around 25 and start all over again.

Anyone think this is a good move? or am I just digging myself in big hole losing money on the v6?

btw I'm thinking of waiting until the 06 starts production before doing this, so hopefully I can find the 05 GT I want for a good price.

Thanks, zach

If you're going to do it, do it now because you will be able to get a good price for it while it's in demand. Sell it yourself, screw trade in unless you get a good deal on it.

yeah I hear you I mean I don't think I would make anymore money off of it if I sold it myself.
I still owe 20k on it I for sure wouldn't want to pay that much for a used car when I could buy a brand new one for the same or maybe even cheaper price.

anyone think I my apr % rates will be better on my 2nd 05? like does having my first one paid off help my credit score?

very little if at all I think. Credit scores are boosted over longevity of good payments.

What APR do you have now? Rates are going up. My score is 793 and I got approved for 4.5% @ 60 months. Their rates just went up to 4.75%.

8.25% for 60 months it was my first car ever financed and I make all my payments like a week early don't know if that would help me or not. I've had my car for around 6 months now.
