You financed a nearly 15 yr old car? Like....went to a bank, borrowed money that has to be paid back with interest on a depreciated item that is a fender bender away from a scrap yard?

You should check out Dave Ramsey, he could help you.

He should have bought that svt focus off of you. He would have saved thousands and would have a faster car.

[Sean88gt]

Was it 15 yrs old at the time of doing so?

1. The car has less than 86,XXX miles on it good luck finding one
2. It was in house financing and yes I financed it for 2yrs
3. The car was never wrecked.

If you look the retail value on my car with all the options, mileage, ect the retail value is close to what I bought it for, granted the dealership made off with some extra money but that's fine I know how the car business works.
I'm not looking to come out on top with the better end of the deal. I'm happy for what I paid for it simply because you won't find many 98's out there with less than 100,000 miles and is in great shape.

Everyone has a hard time understanding why I bought it for the price I got it for and it was simply because I felt comfortable with the car, everything felt right about it. The dealership was a reputable dealer that is known for selling some nice ass cars. I traded my 99' F-150 that had 230,000 miles on it for this thing and I couldn't be any happier.

Not sure if actually trying to be helpful or trolling..
