The best thing you can do is stick with what you've got.If you trade it in now you'll be lucky to get 9k, then you'llbe paying on three cars. If you just got a big promotion then you should be 'responsible' enough to not throw away yourmoney.

If you reallywant to give away $5,000+ I'll give you my adress.

Sounds like you need to slow down on all the spending. $60k in CC debt....holy ****. How old are you? I say sell the Cobra and anything else you possibly can. Wait until you're out of debt totally, then buy a car, preferably with cash. I hope this new job is paying very well, as it'll take some time to overcome $60k in debt, more than 18 months typically.

When it is time to get the new car, check out the LS1tech vehicle classifieds. All kinds of C5's and C5 ZO6's with TONS of power for less than $30k. I'm talking forged 408's, 347's, etc....I just got done looking at a new post where the guy is selling his 550rwhp, on motor, FRC ZO6 lookalike, for $27k. It's built for a 400hp shot. That's crazy.

Actually it should take 14-18 months maxwith the budget I've allotted myself. My raise was over 30k with another 8k in possible bonuses( and to boot the wife makes ok cash 50k + a year) so obviously that is all going to the CC and the 60k figure was from about 10 months ago, its more like 45k now. Thing is I'm still paying the bills, and saving into retirement, sticking a little aside, so I don't get tempted to use CC anymore. Alot of that debt is from college (divorced parents, no financial help for living costs and a really poor sense of judgement), some is from a failed business, and some is just from moving costs, etc. I've taken control of things over the last year and the way things are going I'll be making enough to enjoy a $40,000 weekend driver when the debt is gone. (actually I could buy it now, but that would be dumb). I'm turning 27 in a month and my wife and I still aren't planning to have kids for two or three years.

No this is a me only car. In fact I may remove the passenger seat... j/k don't tell my wife I said that By anxious I mean two or three years,she's starting to talk about it, how she can't wait... but shes finishing her master's degree first (which is at least 2 years with a full time job)

Yea, my old lady is going through nursing as we speak. I'd be amazed if she ever made $50k a year...actually, I've have it made if she only made $40k.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and like I said, check out the LS1tech classifieds if you want a fast car for cheap. They practically give them away over there.

Will do, thanks for the advice on LS1tech. Good luck with the schooling for your girl. Fortunately, my wife's work is footing most of the bill for her degree. I just want a car I can enjoy for about 10 years, cause I'm guessing once the kids come into the picture my wife will no longer entertain ideas of lets get a new toy car.

If i was In your position, I'd buy the 03 cobra body kit, and fixed that car up! make it faster. I like the 03 cobra more than the c5, c6 is a nice car but I would go with your cobra also because it only has 14k miles and is been your the others were used.

^^^^^He owes $14K on the car (as in money) not 14K miles........
You need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills man... Lately I've been feeling like I'm your full time tutor having to correct your posts...[:@]

A little off topic, but on the Speed Channel right now there's a show on called "The Last Sting Ray: Project Opel."

It's about the Corvette's birth and near death.
