put 10k down $278 per month.
Funny thing is last year I paid $2,400 for auto ins. on a 2000 ford escort. Now, (turned 25 in august) I pay $1,400 annually on a 05 GT. What a great feeling. Now I just got to keep it that way.

Obviously you all know that she came home WAY quicker than expected due to the death of the bronco. That means a refinance is in my future.
To be honest- I am tired of the
......When I drive her out and stop somewhere.Its starting to drive me nuts,I don't mind stares, ambushes make me nervous. Oh and from our friends and some family too. Its only a car, its not something mythical.......
Yesterday I needed to go out and get movies(wanted to see the manchurian candidate and some others) so we load in the car and drive off to the movie gallery......
A couple is coming out, they saw the butt end of her- simply the butt end- no front end cause she was parked between a couple of cars.......We caused a domestic disturbance. Man shouts to my husband- SIRRRRRRRR, Is that one of them cobras?(No way he saw my fake snakes) hubby says- Nope, other man shoves his wife, says HA TOLD YOU SO. Meanwhile my husband had to hold me back- A) for second man assuming my husband had all the answers, and B) because he was being a jerk to his own wife.
At the store, a little kid admired it while I was in, and got sticky lollipop laden handprints all over my hood.

I went to go get groceries yesterday and a woman with a car just like yours (but not as clean of course) pulled in right before me. She was "in" the store and a guy asked her how she liked her new car, he followed her in. That would bother me if I was in her shoes.

But when alone and strange men approach me, makes me a hair nervous. They can go to the dealer I bought her from and stare all they want to.

I pay $550/month, including insurance..
You all are pretty funny about the mortgage payment... mine was $3000/month, NOT including property taxes, HOA, HOI, etc. We sold, and are now renting, paying $2200/month. I would KILL to be able to pay $1500, give up a child to pay $500/month in rent.

Agreed! My NorCal mortgage is $2,800/month, excluding taxes, and we're looking to sell to upgrade to a "decent" size house (2,000 square feet or so). We're looking at about $4,500 month!
Probably seems crazy compared to other parts of the country, but then again, my house, and my condo that I rent out have each appreciated over $100k in the past year and a half, so I guess there's some updside...
Now I just need to pay off the boat, so we can get a new 'Stang!

I'm sure all the California folks salaries are adjusted for their higher cost of living (I hope).

Wow...you can't get a house here in SoCal for less than $500k. An apartment, but no house.

daaaaaang, my 1800 sq ft house 4bd 3ba, tiny backyard just sold for $609k. We bought for $300.
To be honest, NO the salaries DONT compensate. In fact, currently we have the largest gap in a long time between cost of living and income. Its why we sold our house, we had to use what equity was left after refinancing three times to pay off bills.
I can go to other counties and get a nice big house for a lot cheaper, TONS cheaper, but hubby cant get work many places...
Anyway, I was pretty happy my insurance went down. I am only paying $1000/year for my GT. Which is good, cuz I am paying up to $2.79/gal for gas!

nice Jessica, I just bought mine in So Cal 1150sq ft $477K just under a year ago now its worth $535K wish I could have bought when you bought your home (maybe what 4 or 5 years ago)...
So Cal stinks... I am staying just long enough to crank out some extra profit on my property then its on to Idaho ??? Texas ??? Arizona ??? not sure..
stinks to pay over $2K a month and another $5,700 at tax time for property taxes.
p.s. IF you are planning on buying a V6 with little or no money down expect to pay around $300- $350 per month (on a 6 year buy) plus insurance.
