What are your monthy payments??
I am looking into getting a Fit. Not sure when though. Just doing research on it and see if/how it can be modified. I don't want to get to crazy with it, but like to make it my own.
Questions:
What model did u get?
How much did u pay?
How much did u put down?
How much a month are you paying?

The question you should ask yourself is "How much more am I going to pay for this car due to financing?" They can do some tricky stuff with the numbers.

The single most important factor is what the monthly payment will be. The interest rate, length of the loan mean almost nothing as long as the payment is below $xxx dollars.You can get seriously screwed by a combination of a low monthly payment and a high interest rate. Always multiply out #months by payment dollars to get what the sucker will cost you before you sign. This doesn't just apply to cars. If more people did this, we wouldn't have people walking out of Best Buy with a huge $3000 HDTV purchased with the Best Buy credit card @24%.....

Don't know what my deal will be yet, but I have to carry over a little balance from my current car. My financial situation ain't the greatest at this point in my life, but I have a plan. Part of it is trading my car in on the Fit which should get my monthly payment down about $100 or more below what I pay n ow. Then I redirect that extra C note into other debts, then once those are payed off, I add the amount I've been paying to those to my car note, and pay it off way early.

I haven't received the car yet, but --
What model did u get? LX MT
How much did u pay? MSRP
How much did u put down? MSRP
How much a month are you paying? 0
The first time this requires settling for what you can afford or otherwise delaying gratification; after that compound interest works for you instead of against you.

Sure... if I owed less than the car is worth. The gap is closing, but won't be reversed for too long, and then you actually have to SELL it. I have a friend in Houston that was trying to sell and almost identical car, and it took over 6 months to sell, and he got less than he wanted for it.
If my situation goes well, I might end up not having to carry over anything on the financing. However, due to my whole situation, I'm in a lose/lose less situation. My options are limited. I'm only trading for the Fit to save money in the long run. (plus it's a Honda, and I plan on paying it off and keeping it until the wheels fall off)
