Whens the best time to buy?
 

In a few months i will be ready to purchase an ls1/t56 car. By ready I mean, I will have a decent down payment for the price range i am looking at. This will be the first car I will have payed for completely by me. Down payment, and loan.

Is December and January a good time to buy a fbody? I'm looking for the best price possible. I already see several nice fbodys under 8 grand.

So what's happening with the bird? got a buyer yet? or just going to have 3 cars sit in the driveway?

Did we not just have this conversation this morning about having too many toys? I mean literally less than 8 hours ago you agreed that sticking the firebird in the garage until january or february when it's eligible for QQ tags and driving the saturn was the best thing for you.

If you can't afford to get the Saturn and/or bird fixed, why would you spend so much money on ANOTHER car? I wouldn't think of it. Doesn't make sense for you at all.

Because he knows everything at 17.

Wow. Whats this kids problem?

Maybe he wants attention?

You can't seem to get a GEN I SBC running, and now you wanna try a LSX motor? Good luck...

The more cars he has the lesser chance that he will get stuck with one that doesn't run./

Thanks for answering my question. You guys are the best!

simple, financial market is in the toilet, it would be a bad move to take a loan out on a 7-11 year old car at any time.

save the loot and buy one, or don't. don't take a loan

:flower:

Thanks mike. I'll take that into consideration. If I wait untill summer, I will be able to afford one with out a loan But then the prices will be back up... :-x

prices arent going to go anywhere......

Drive the Saturn, enjoy the good gas milage and cheap maintenance. Save the money you would put towards the LS1 for your current project.

matt save your money for a down payment on a house

The end of summer/fall is often the best time to buy muscle cars. Although for a young guy like you the best time to buy is when you have cash in your hand...car payments are for idiots with 'real' (whatever that means) jobs.

4th gen prices will continue to drop as the 5th gen appears....it happened with all the gens..plus them getting older helps too. So save your $$ and this time next year you will find even better deals.

whoa, save the money for a dp on a fifth gen, duh

keep an eye on gas and stuff...my brother got 5 grand off of his vette because gas was going up up and away and dealers were having a really hard time selling guzzlers...i would assume it would be the same with private sellers

And besides, you know you want an LT1.

actually, you should look at mustangs. they are cheap and have plenty of power compared to the saturn.

why would you say such thing!! hahah

OR drop all the money on the 3rd gen. Eh?

i'm a dick haha

Thats what everyone want me to do.

I can honestly do that because i don't really spend money on anything other then fuel..

But the Saturn isn't going to last for ever and the Bird is never going to be a DD. So I need to save up some for a DD, in case of an accident or something else.. I want a ls1 fbody to be my next DD But i also want to finish and enjoy the firebird..

Why not?
