6G Celicas Forums

Agreed. Taking a loan to modify a car is NOT a smart thing. Let's say you take out a loan for $10K to customize your celica. Modification do NOT increase the value of your car. So you drop a 3S-GTE into the motor, body kit, whatever. Then you get in an accident. If you don't have insurance, you're out everything and paying for a loan for nothing. If you do have insurance, they see 199x Celica.......and will pay you based on that. And you're still out the loan for the money.

A car is not a wise invenstment. Houses are a completely different animal, as stated above. If you can't pay for the mod at the time, then it's not time for the mod.

Saved up for it

stopped smokin, brought lunch to work, live with parents. oh, and of course no girlfriend. sure is easy to save up money!

........... if that is a serious answer, i would start parting out my body like it was an old beanie baby collection... 7 grand for a kidney i dont need (dont drink a lot) and bone marrow (which makes me weigh more)?


i think this is a band wagon to hop on, brothers and sisters... to the hospital!







three weeks later, then the bank........






then eBay and porn stores

hahahah out of nowhere - and porn stores
:-p

well actually you can total a house, at least here in Florida and its alomost inpossible to buy home owner insurance just becuase of the hurricanes and flooding. and o also sink holes, they don't cover property so that $85,000 lot (yes a normal size lot is that much here in deltona) is gone, it isn't worth anything. And since yes the price of houses have been going up,when you sell your house you have to pay more for another, so it doesn't matter because its porpertanial (sp? its early lol), you not making money.

Also if you get to the point that you pay off your house, you have to pay $20,000 to $30,000 ayear, just in taxes and such, thats over $2000 a month, So why would you want to pay it off?

also, my car loan is at 6.5% which is pretty low, i also have the money to buy it cash..but theres this little thing called credit that you need to buy a house. My sister in law just bought a house it was $150,000. She paid 105,000 down!!! yes you read that right. And they still would't give her the loan!! she had to have a co-signer....so you need credit

my medical study was me basically testing a drug used to target the section of your brain that deals with addiction/cravings (its fda approved for drug rehab, but they wanted to try and market it as a weight loss drug) so they studied my brain on and off the drug, took a ridiculous amount of blood and put radiation all up in me..

it was the creepiest most awkward thing ive ever done but i would do it again in a heartbeat for 1300 bucks.. it only took a week and i only had to actually be at johns hopkins for like 4 hours total

85000 dollars for a House, man you cant even buy a toolshed for 85k dollar here!! Here the total that needs to be payed of every year is about 7-8000 Euro's a year. Things are completly different I guess between our countries, but still the main point remains, dont buy something you cant afford in the first place!

I had a alltrac, 94 celica , 90 gts all at one time..... living at home I could afford alot of nice toys . So when my alltrac had 150k on i and i figured why not buy a new motor I bought a whole st185 clip for cheep jdm motor/trans.... Parents ended up kicking me out of the house alltrac/gts was in moms name because insurance was sky rocketing at 20. 6gc was in my name. So I swapped the motor straite from the clip I had.

I would never get a loan to do this swap. A loan obviously meens yo dont have enough money to do this project. Making it a daily driver isnt the best idea in the entire world. Especially when you get the motor in there and you get boost crazy and try to make the car faster and faster and just consistantly breaking things..... Its definately not fun.

Sucks because I miss my altrac ....
