I can get approved for the loan.... but def don't wanna spend that much money lol ... that would be a big payment. Basically money that could be going towards a cam or procharger, or both!

Those are rip offs unless you plan is to leave them parked for 20 years and auction them off. Expand your search area and try again.

Dealership?
Im willing to travel I found some but not really worth my time. Elkins chevy has a nice 02 Black WS6 but wants 20K and the miles are low but not that low.
I would have been able to buy from a private seller but had to pay for surgery (which cost about as much as a new Porsche) So now I need to find a nice Black TA/Hawk for around 15K at a dealership

definitely, i drove a little over an hour for my car which i got for cheap:wink:
your best bet is to wait to find something that you like and is a good deal. i waited a cpl months to find the one i did. i chose it because it was exactly what i had wanted.

Im gonna have a DD. The TA is gonna be a weekend driver / good weather driver every now and then for when I wanna take the back winding country roads way to work. Since I work 330 - midnight shift.
hmmm maybe if i can get a loan from a bank or something ill be able to do private seller... gotta find a black TA / Firehawk around 12K in price... and get a loan for 15K (need the add ons duh!)
What ever I get is getting an MS4 Cam from Texas Speed + valve train, Texas Speed Long tubes, Texas Speed tune, and pcv system to start things out.... and paint of course.

Before you spend all the money on Texas Speed parts and a mail order tune, talk to some of our sponsors about putting something together for you. By the time you collect up all the parts via mail order, pay shippiing and handling on everything, then go to another shop for professional installation, you would most likely save money and end up with more power and driveability by just going to TTP, JSPerformance, or Sick Speed Performance and get a package deal.
There are also much better headers than the Texas Speed stuff available. Kooks and American Racing Headers are both known to have the best fit and finish and ARH hs been shown to make more power than any other header there has been a side by side comparison against.

Thanks man... I heard great things about JSP... theyre in bensalem area i believe. Met a guy that got his Grand National done there I believe at Atco. I had TSP headers on my hawk and loved them slapped on no problem. I think i'll give them a holler about a cam. headers, intake, and tune tomorrow... cause im just gonna get a loan from my bank and do it all at once.

I agree with knipps. You can get a capitalone auto finance just as easy as you can finance from a dealer. You fill out your info online and if you get approved they send you a maximum loan amount and a blank check. So, if you get approved for $20k and you only need $15k you right the check for $15k and they will give you monthly payments based on that amount. I have used it before, plus if you are looking at a dealership, it is hard to find a bargain.

If I remember correct it was 9%, but it depends on credit, you may get a better rate.
