financing???
hey this is for the older lot of you, especially WIDealer, since you'd all have some experience in this area. since this is my 1st car, and there are so many variables still up in the air about it, i'm hoping you can help me get a better idea of what to expect. I'm expecting to have about 5k saved up for down payment by dec / jan. around where should I expect monthly payments to be? (assuming 28k price, and 5 yr term). what is the usual apr on dealer financing?, it it likely to be higher for the evo alone? (i know it was raised for the wrx). should I go to a bank or credit union for a car loan, or go thru dealer financing? I'm expecting to be paying b/w $450 and $500 monthly... is this completely off, too high, to low, what?

go to your bank's website and look for a loan amoritization calculator - - type in the principle amount borrowed, the interest rate and the term and it figures your monthly payment
try this website

and click on loan amoritization calculator

i just did a real quick check
if u put 5000 down on a car thats 28000
thats a principle loan amount of 23000
i put in 5.9% interest rate ????don't know if thats what it will be or not, but its in the ballpark range
and 60 payments (5 years-12 months)
came to $443 a month and change . . . . . . . .

Ok, I don't think you'll be able to walk out of the door with the car for just the MSRP. $28K + tax, destination charge, registeration fee, dealer service fee should roughly be $31-32K (Let's assume NO dealer mark-up). Then subtracting $5000 down. Let's say your loan is $26K with a 7% apr (average), you're looking at $514.83 per month with a 60-month term.
However, since this is your first car, and I assumed that you don't have too much of a credit history, then your rate might be higher

If this is your first car, sports car, no credit, + insurance, your probably look'n at an 8 ball a month. 8 bills is a lot for a first car.
My car wuz 16.9k + all the extra BS. Total finances was 19.3k or so + $0 down, on 60 month and I pay $324 + my credit is **** now but that's at 8.9 apr. I pay a combined $96 for two vehicles on my insurance a month. My car only added on $25 a month. Now, with the extra cash I'm saving, I'll dump at leas 3 bills a month into it, until performance and looks satisfaction is reached. That's still only $650 a month. Granted your insurance even for USDM OZ Lancer will probably run you about 2.5 bills, however, instead of paying that extra of couple off bills a month just to make your ******* bigger, I'd rather put it to the cars performance instead of payments and shock the liv'n hell out of peeps when I grope the gas. They balance will outweigh itself in the end. Thinks smart and logically as to what you can afford instead of chasing your immediate satisfaction, thus the drag of high payments...
It'z up to you, if you can afford the Evo, do it....

MWAHAH!!!!
I'm 21 and have the credit history of a 40 year old businessman....
Car payment, credit card, and 2 cell phone bills a month.....and not one missed payment = me having a VERY high credit score by the time the Evo comes out

it's all about the debt to income ratio too...
it doesn't matter if you have an immaculate credit history....if you just bought a house, you can't even buy a cell phone without comin up with a $400 deposit....
The history isn't TOO long, but if I have all the bills paid, and the credit card is low....then I shouldn't have any issues getting a decently low APR
