Theres alot of responses about this one... First hand experiance here, I'm in the Air Force, I'm 24 and I'm and E-4, Senior Airman (3 stripes for those who don't know) I just made Staff sgt my first time testing, and I'm about to hit my 4 year mark in the military.

I bought my first corvette, a 2001 with 27,000 miles this past Feburary, my car payment is $586 a month (4 year loan) and my insurance is $81 a month (full coverage $250 deductible) that's $667 a month (good luck on getting insurance that cheap by the way) just for the car, I know for a FACT that you will not bring in that much income just coming into the military per paycheck, that doesn't include the maintenance the car costs. $50 an oil change, $40 to fill it up, $300 PER tire... Common things that go wrong, that I've already experianced like the LED in the dash where the temp is displayed going out ($400) my EBCM (brake control module went out seems very common) costs another $1000... If I wasn't married, and my wife didn't work, we wouldn't have it... Think about it... My buddy got jealous when I got mine and went out the next week and bought one... He got rid of it 6 months later because he couldn't afford it... and his payments were less than mine, but his insurance was almost 4 times what mine was...

The new guys that I work with take home maybe $600 a check, a little more if they live off base... My advice is to be patient... Save, budget, and make a GOOD decision...

You know... I always find a better deal right after I make my purchases

 

The flames are blue/purple... I have been planning on buying a vette for a long time..


The salesman said I should see if I could get a co signer before applying for the loan.....

If I was to tell you the reason I am wanting/getting a C5 corvette, I could seriously write a book...

 

 

That's great. We call that "size 10 *********".

 

I could write 5 books on why I would own a vette forever... Your preaching to the choir on that one... Let me tell you, I was an inch away from stretching all my comforts as thin as a sheet of paper... I WANTED BADLY a 2006 z06... I looked at my finances... I could afford $1000+ payment a month... Plus the added insurance... but I didn't... because IT WOULD'VE BEEN STUPID... no matter how good it sounded in my head...

Your dad isn't trying to ruin your happiness, he just wants to help you make the right decisions...

 

I think I would follow the advise of most here...and wait.

I also think you would be putting alot of pressure on the person you do find that will co-sign for you.

But...that's only my opinion.

 

I am trying lending tree also as a plan B.... I am awaiting their e-mails.

My dad is backing me up now, because he knows that I am serious about it.

 

Why not buy a home first...and build your credit ? That would be the Adult thing to do. If you need a cosigner that means they are going to KILL you with the interest rate and you are going to pay wayyyy more than the car is worth in the end. If you wait until you have the credit to do this, you will be able to walk into any dealership, make the rules and drive off in the car you want.

However, anyone that would ask total strangers to risk thier credit and financial future on a stranger obviously has a very poor concept of responsibility. Not trying to be mean, but you need to really think about what you are doing here.

 

I want to know about the new chips. Do they give it extra HP? What else does it have? Maybe a transmogrifier?

 

Grasshopper, the karma is not right and this is NOT the right vette. When all the stars are aligned you will know it and it will flow easily.

 

i was 19 when i bought my first c4...

financed it myself with an 11% apr... never doubted nor regreted my decision!

go to roadloans.com and they will give ya a loan without a cosigner...

im a strong believer that if you want a vette early on go for it, you never know how long youre gonna live.

 

Are those brown flames? Dude, go do your tour, come back and buy a nice Vette. Leave that one to someone else.

BYW, what are "new chips"?

 

True for any age, but that's not a reason to do something that many are advising you not to. I'm still waiting to hear about the "chips". That alone tells me that this is not an informed buy. As 03 Clyde said: Positive: Asking the question

You should buy a new house to park it in too. I doubt you are interested in anyone's advice. Your just looking to get some money in the most ridiculous way...... for the most impulsive ridiculous reason. I doubt your father knows about this post or he would be pissed! I have an adult son....like you... see it, want it, pay anything for it and to hell with the consequences. This thread was funny for about a minute but its time to listen to the grownups now. You could care less who's credit you destroy as evidenced by this post for an anonymous co signer. I really hope you dont get the car. You have a ways to go. Most of us have to earn it. Did your Dad by the pickup? Boy.... what a jerk huh? Is it even yours? Im going to tell your MOM what you are doing!

 

I say let "Young Grasshopper" with the maturity and patience of a toddler, go ahead and let some schmuck co-sign for him for a high interest loan. (a good azz whoopin behind the barn wouldn't hurt in this case, either). It appears that the only way he's going to grow up here is to hit some bumps in the road of life. He's not going to listen to any of you. I gotta admit, going on line and asking a total stranger to co-sign is about as stupid, ballsey and desperate as they get! Thank God the military is going to get ahold of him and turn him into a MAN! Looks like Uncle Sam has to do what Daddy couldn't.....This KID has to be saved from himself.

Gotta love that white coupe with brown flames hoo...boy....I know I would be the first one in line for the "Pimp My Ride" Vette!

The cherry on the sundae is the "chips" thing. Junior hasn't got a clue what he's talking about. What a dim bulb
