Default How to go about this

ok well i have a 1990 mustang auto 4 banger POS....now it runs fine but it just isn't a good car over all...tons of little things broke and some body damage....now i don't have tons of money but i was thinking of trying to take out a 3-5 thousand dollar loan and buying say a 87-93 5.0 5 speed or auto which ever but it has to be a 5.0 or an SVO if i could find one...or a newer mustang perferably a gt buti can settle with a v6 now is this is good idea because i have checked it out and for 3000 at 10.49 asrp paying for 3 years its 100 a month and thats 25 a week which i can handle but for 5000 at 5.something asrp its 151 a month which is like 37 a week which i can handle to...now i want to try to get my dad to do this for me because i can't keep driving a **** box around because its just not safe and reliable like i want it to be....now which type of these cars should i get because i like any car(- the 4 banger N/A) 87 and up...help me out on this because i can't stand driving this car around...any help on how to get my dad to let me get a loan would help out so much too

Go to a bank and get your own loan,you will be glad you did when it's time to buy something truly expensive.If you don't have a job,get one.If your'e a student,get a job anyway.

yeah id definatley take out the biggest loan you can afford, if you were gnna buy a stang id get 89 or newer because they *** wit mass air. ideadly i think tha 90,91 are the best. it doesnt really matter if its gt or lx, jus get a 5.0 they are definately sweet. i wudnt go with a v6 tho, youll be kickin yourself when a 5.0 pulls up nex to u at a red light. also see if you can find another job, im a 16 y/o student n im makin bout 250 or so every 2 weeks during skool now im makin about 250 a week workin full time.

yea i can't do that until i get say a newer job...i'm a ****ing bag boy at a food store...sucks *** but its my first job....no i wanted to get a v6 because of gas, insurance, and well i wanted to get a 94+ mustang or camaro...i know its not as powerful but i need a nice vehicale...and well don't worry i'm use to getting beat by any vehicale on the road...plus i just wanted to get a newer vehicale...so i wanted to get 3000 because i have found a pretty nice 1996 Mustang 3.8v6 5 speed with 107,000 miles on it...its acually like 4000 but this ad for it you get 1000....lol


also if anyone can tell me more abou a loan...now i wanted to get 3000 becase i can't really get any more than that and i have found a nice car for 3000 and i can take care of the rest of registration and so on...but from what i have looked at there seems to be a 7500 minimum on getting an auto loan....if anyone can explain this to me a little more because i'm not really sure about a loan totally.

no,no,no you can take out any amount for the car, it doesnt have to be a certain amount. Man you sound alot like me, but i still work for a grocery store. I had a red 1990 auto 4cyl, had 80k on the o.d. and had a screaming 88 horsepower. hahaha. dude get a small amount loan wise from the bank and fix what your worried about in the 4cyl so youll have some credit history but otherwise save your money man. banks are a joke with interest dont take out a big loan unless you absolutely need one. I saved my money and after i graduated i went out and bought an 1990 gt and it was all good. plus that 4cyl is gonna be just that much cheaper for you since your still under 18.
