You need one if: Your current car is aging Your current car is losing its market value fast Your lease is up Your current car doesn't do the job You don't have a car At any given time, no matter what economy is like - ther a deals on slow selling cars, and bestselllers will not have deals. For example, where I work - you can always get a deal on an Audi Q7 - before the recession, during and after. On another hand - Audi Q5 is hard to get, and there are no discounts. People want to buy it, but compalin that there are no incentives, like on Mercedes GLK, and we always say - there are no incentives because you are here tryign to buy a Q5, not at a Benz dealer, trying to buy a GLK. |

| until your old ride falls apart. There really isn't much chance to shop for a good deal if you have to have a car right away and your trade-in has a busted gearbox , been there, done that and it sucked. | |

Replying to: carstryke (Jun 27, 2009 11:35 pm) The amount that you're upside down will be tacked onto the new purchase loan. You should familiarze yourself with your credit so you know where you stand by going to Equifax (online) and buying your report for about $20. Yuo can learn about your score and what you should do to improve it. The better your credit report and the score then the better rates and deals you'd qualify for. |
