The other advantage to using the mortgage route is that most folks can deduct the interest from their taxes...
I also disagree that "a loan is a bad idea". How many folks jumped on 0% financing deals? Why not use someone else's money while you pay off the car one month at a time (with no penalty whatsoever)? If I can get more interest putting my money somewhere else then the cost I have to pay someone else to use their money, I'm ahead...and smart.
As stated, financing is a tool for folks to use to "afford" things. Some folks use it unwisely, but there are some that are smart about it.

the reason no one has money lying around is because people finance. the fastest way into debt is to buy something you cant pay for. actually that is definition of debt. the smart people mortgage a house and pay cash for everything else including luxury items such as 40k dollar cars. unfortunately i am not there yet. and that is why i am not getting a gt500 or a used 03/04 mustang svt.
good job Ford, break a leg on the horse and maybe have to shoot it:kaboom: . I am glad I got a STI

another advantage to putting a car loan on the mortgage is that when you cant make the car payment, you will not lose the car, you will lose your freakin house. nice. :idea:

financing is there to make other people rich. ever wonder why credit is a multi billion dollar industry? they get rich why you are in debt. thats a real good deal. :rockon:
I am going to drop in a built Teksid motor with a whipple or turbo and save alot of dough instead of buying a GT500. If the price drops, as with the 03 Cobras, I will buy one.

Where did you hear Ford is on the verge of Bankrupcy,and who would finiance a car for 10 years. Not too smart if you have too finiance a car for 10-years. I know I would leave it where it is if I had to finiance a car for Ten-Years,not a good Finiance Decission.Just my thoughts.
Dude, you are killing me. I never said for someone to buy something they can't afford. I just threw out another option that someone can use to aquire a car.ON D BIT said:
According to your logic, do NOT finance things, why do people finance a house? According to you, they should just pay for it in cash. Oh wait, that's right, because 98% of people don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars lying around. So what do they do, they borrow the money and pay it back over the years. Did you happen to miss my post where I wrote "OPM"
Do you know what OPM stands for?
Who says the person won't make the payment. Breakthrough here....only finance things you know you can make the payments on every month. :idea: If someone refi's their home and uses their equity to buy a $50,000 car but yet they know they won't be able to afford the monthly mortgage payment, then that is on them. It wouldn't make it a dumb thing to do for everyone.ON D BIT said:
Yes, it makes other people rich, obviously, but it is also there for people to buy things. If we didn't have financing then most everyone wouldn't have a home.ON D BIT said:
Any other idea's you want to throw out there, go for it.
Since you seem to be so smart, let me ask you....do you own a home? Or do you rent or live at home? If you own a home I bet I could point out a thing or two that would make you look like the fool and make you aware of money that you are wasting. I'll be waiting. :read:
I have seen a response like this before. What does a solid axle have to do with anything? If Ford were to design and develope a new IRS for the Shelby, the price would be even higher. And most likely not worth the money for a minimal gain in handling.NoSup4U said:

Now post pictures of your Viper. :-D
You guys are forgetting about dealer markup. ebay had a buy it now price of $79999 the other day. Dealers are not going to let these cars go for MSRP at first. Maybe if they dont sell they will

Because 2 of 9000 are sold, the car is almost sold out?
