ok wait hold up.. after reading the posts again...im thinking twice.

im gonna see what carmax can give me, and see if i can find a good DD for 8k or lower. and go from there.

cuz heres my situation... my Si is immaculate. i take care of this baby, **** looks brand new every day. i know its only a few months old, but my friends always comment saying how it seems like i just bought it yesterday.

ALSO, my dad does own an autobody shop, so maintenance and all that isnt really a problem because my dad and his workers can mostly take care of everything. they fixed transmissions, breaks, engines, from our past cars before.

so after reading some of your guys' posts... if i trade my car in to carmax, they'll just add what i owe from the Si, into the used car i just bought? correct?

so lets say i owe 6k on the my Si. and i trade it in for a car that costs about 8k. thats 14k in total. so i'll be paying about 233/month for 60 months. and what is usually the interest rate on used cars now a days?

and the reason why i dont mind getting an 8k car that has over 100k miles on it, is because i just need something to last me through college at least. thats why im looking at hondas/toyotas/nissans for a DD.
