If your current ride is fine..... keep it.
Car dealers = CRAP!

It runs fine, but it's due for a lot of maintanence, timing belts and such that start to wear down. It has 75k miles on it. But, I still have 25k miles before the power train warranty ends.
I don't care about it being damaged, but I do care about it being stolen. My job isn't to just drive to my office for 8 hours and then home...I get to drive to my office, then spend the day going to meetings and going to client's houses and/or schools and such, so it will end up parked in a number of "bad" spots, I suspect. I always lock it, and I could put my club on it, and take the cd face plate off...but if someone is gonna steal it, they'll steal it no matter what I do. As such, I was considering getting a beater for a couple hundred, but you're right, driving an unproven car into philly could be worse than driving what I've got.
It will be paid off Oct 06 if I make normal payments. with the new job and living at home for a couple months, I was considering making larger payments to pay it off sooner, so when I do move out, it'll be paid off quicker and I won't have to worry about it. this was of course my thought process before I got this card.
So yeah, I dunno what to do. I guess it couldn't hurt to look. Someone wanna go with me? I don't wanna go alone, nor do I wanna take my father, as he did a horrible job with this car...he got $500 taken off the sticker...THAT'S IT! Gotta see if they are open at nite...hmm.
