Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 06, 2006 8:18 pm)  My first car payment (that I remember, anyway) was $180/month on a '96 Protege. I owned other cars before that, but none of them were nice enough to warrant financing (e.g., a Saab 900 purchased for $2500).

Replying to: ray80 (Dec 07, 2006 9:51 am) $500? For how long did you finance?

Geesh! you guys ARE older than dirt! My first car payment EVER was on a new '97 Dodge Dakota. ~$350/mo. I've never had a payment lower than that since. For reference, my highest was my wife's Pilot at $525. |

Replying to: div2 (Dec 06, 2006 7:42 pm) Funny, since I sold a Civic, and bought a 2006 Elantra (paid cash), and am happy that I did. The Elantra is a much better car than the previous generation Civic. When you've owned both as my wife and I have, you'll know what I mean. Hyundai, unfortunately, is still the laughing stock with some uninformed consumers, just as Honda and Toyota were back in the '60s and '70s. I remember when I bought my first Honda - a 600 coupe in 1972; people thought I was crazy, and laughed every time I drove the car. They're not laughing at Honda now, and those who make fun of Hyundai, will also not be laughing. Like Mikey was told (paraphrasing of course): "Drive one, you might like it!"
