Subject: Re: C4 to C5. Any regrets? by 81c3 on 2009/4/9 20:57:27 Chris, if you really want a yellow Z, I'll sell you mine! I have been aiming toward a Z16 anyway......DO NOT TELL ANDREA!!!! And, if you do get a yellow Z, my masculinity will not be challenged nor compromised by that!!  Why do you guys say cash only for toys? I have had 7 Vettes now and financed 5 of them. If you do it correctly, like through a credit union and buy the car "right", meaning, dont pay more than its worth, whats the problem?  I kinda see it this way..... Why would I take $18k and spend it all in one shot? Why not finance the car, hold onto the cash in a savings account or CD or something of that nature, just make the payments. With excellent credit, the interest rate is negligible anyway. If the time comes to sell, then sell it, pay off the note and pocket the rest..... In the mean time, the $18k would have earned you a little money to boot. In this uncertain economy and with an economy sensitive job, I'd much rather have the cash in a safe place AND a toy or 2 in the garage......knowing all I had to do was sell the car to get out of a jamb....and remember, if the worst happens, you still have the $18k in a safe place that you can draw from to make the payment until the car sold.  |
