My Volvo is a 4cyl and right now gas isn't that bad(and this is a 27 year old car with 300 miles on it and a crappy 3 speed gearbox) so i could afford a 6cyl, but the 4cyl would be better on the wallet. Im more leaning towards a 6cyl though becuase i do plan on doing some modifications so its a tricky situation here.

Replies hinshawwrx Posted at 7:29 pm on June 21, 2008 Just because you have parents doesn't mean they'll co-sign a 25K loan for you, because it would ultimately fall back on them CaliKevin Posted at 7:14 pm on June 21, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 6:44 pm on June 21, 2008 You don't understand, my parents wont help me here so i have to get what i can with my own money.   Im sorry im not a spoilt bastard like your self. Maybe you should specify that in your original post? Help avoid confusion and bad suggestions? I'm sorry I have a family that cares for me, but I'm far from spoiled. Oh and I have a good relationship with my father (who is married to my mother) so I am in fact, not, a bastard. emo sux69 Posted at 6:44 pm on June 21, 2008 Quote: from CaliKevin at 11:15 am on June 22, 2008 Quote: from hinshawwrx at 3:43 pm on June 21, 2008 Quote: from CaliKevin at 12:09 am on June 21, 2008 This is also a college forum with a tech/automotive section, you cunt. Get off my balls. Auto loans aren't that hard to get. FYI a loan for a teen/early 20's kid with even a decent full time job is hard to get when the amount is above about 15K. Used cars are even harder to get loans for. Please don't say loans are easy to get for people with little to no credit on a car over 15K, because its simply a lie. You'll need a co-signer 85% of the time I still don't get the problem there... Do most teens these days not have parents or grandparents who will co-sign on a car loan for them? You're right about the ysed car loans thing though, when I tried to get a loan for my car, the credit union refused because it was over 5 years old at the time we got it. And yes, I knew I should have specified that your credit rating matters when it comes to the loans, and most "teenagers" (13-17) don't have any credit to speak of.

You sure about that ?

But I have a 4cyl because I am mainly commuting, and we all know commuting sucks so I got the more fuel efficient gas car without having to drive around one of those hybrids... I still can't stand the look of those. But I guess I like to get more for my money hence the 4cyl getting better mileage... 300 miles on one tank, pretty damn good! But like the others said... it wouldn't make much sense to mod a 4cyl.  I've thought about it... But I think I am just going to dress my car up more and then when I get a "real" car after college I will be able to sell this one.  I hope.  Or I may keep it. BUT... seriously are you going to mod it?  Or are you just saying you might?   Power or better gas mileage? I've had no problems with my 4cyl. If I were you I would go test drive the cars a few times to see which feels better.  It's all about feeling good in the car. emo sux69 Posted at 1:27 am on June 21, 2008 Quote: from CaliKevin at 4:05 pm on June 21, 2008 Quote: from emo sux69 at 11:00 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from CaliKevin at 3:56 pm on June 21, 2008 I'm glad you're so easily amused and quick to spam. yet your the one, who is going off topic. wow..

Mazda 3/6/Protege, Nissan Sentra, most VW models, maybe an Audi A4. Don't forget, used shouldn't be out of the question either. For SUVs there Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Chevy Trailblazer, Dodge Durango.  If you look hard enough you can find pretty much anything in your price range. Things must be different in Australia, it's not a big difference here. The average teen doesn't get a brand new car from their parents and if they do then I would consider themselves 'privledged' Im sorry that im not 'privledged' jerk! 4est Posted at 10:44 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from CaliKevin at 10:29 pm on June 20, 2008 Sorry but you are not your post count, and just because you post here more often doesn't mean someone won't have some rich parents/grandparents/extended family who will want to pitch in.  You never know the poster's situation, even the "n00bs who were most likely making it up" I guess for a "teen" price range, a Scion tC/xB/xA, Toyota Corolla, Chevy Cobalt, Dodge Avenger maybe?
