Dazed and Confused

I've been contemplating the G37. I really want one due to everything about it is awesome. Infinity has taken this car to another level. However, if I were to get one I'd want it fully loaded.

The problem is that I still owe on my current car. I'm thinking that I should wait rather than carry over onto a new loan, especially considering the price of the G37. I might have to wait for the 2009 model.

Did any of you carry over a loan from a previous vehicle before you bought your G? What do you guys think? Thanks.

Lease if you want it ... wait and pay off the car if you have the patience...

trade in your old car or better yet sell it privately. worst case is taking it to a place like Carmax and getting a check on the spot.

Get into the new car you want and will be happy with.

High mileage. You'll probably wind up upside down in a trade. It may be tough to get what your payoff in a private sale too. Never know though. Always worth a try.

Yep, more than likely upside down. That happened because I was using the car everyday for school, 40mins, one way, 4-5 times a week. Glad I'm done with that.

Not sure what to do yet....

Sounds like the best option is to wait. $10,000 isn't that much to pay off.

patience is over-rated. instant gratification is what this country was founded upon.

If it were me, I'd wait and pay off the car. Then again, if it were me I wouldn't be in a Chevy Cobalt. Consider the big step up, it's definitely worthwhile to wait this one out. Get an '09 or '10. Go buy something else to give you that warm and fuzzy feeling of getting something cool.
