Goodbye Protege

[sLoPrO2k]

Just be happy without a payment.... whether you keep it or not.

[jnorion]

Heh, that'd be nice. Unfortunately, voluntary surrender means I still have a payment of SOME sort, still to be determined by how much they sell it for at auction. But insurance is about $100 less per month, and the payment should also be between $100 and $200 less.

We'll see about the 1st gen... it's definitely been a possibilty I'm considering, but I don't have any money to spare at the moment and I'm really not sure how much I could get for the VW. It's a 1982 model with 168k miles on it, and even though it's in good condition there are still small problems. I'll stick with it for a little while yet.

And on that note, anyone have a 1st gen they wanna sell me for cheap?

[NegatiZE]

That sucks, but I guess you have to do what you can to make it sometimes.

Don't leave the forum just because you don't own a Mazda anymore either.

[jnorion]

Don't worry, just because I got a new car doesn't mean I got a life too...

[Kelly]

lol, yup, just keep up with your payments, Whats the details on your car. miles etc...I have a friend who is a repo man that can tell you what they might get for it at auction, also how much did you owe at time of surrender?

[THEGOLDPRO]

i had no idea you could do that, hmmm weird, but anywho, have fun with the vw.

[Kelly]

its just like a repo, only you do it on good terms with the bank and they tend to work with you a bit more. You still have to deal with the auction, not knowing how much the car will go for, and still being stuck with the difference. What gets people on there credit is very few people pay the difference. THey figure why pay when i dont have the car anymore.

[THEGOLDPRO]

i see, sux either way i suppose.

[Kelly]

The way i see it, better to learn your lesson young. What really sux is getting behind on all of your other bills because of one bill.

[THEGOLDPRO]

yeah thats never good, when i went to buy my car, i was gonna get a honda civic, but the payments were like double that of my protege, so i went with the pro, 189 a month, lol nice and cheap.

[Kelly]

fu, when i was buying mine, my 2000 was 352 a month. Of course i was a first time buyer and before refinancing< I was paying at 16% interest.

[THEGOLDPRO]

god damn 352 is wayyyy high, id never buy a pro for that much lol to tell you the truth id never but a pro if it wasnt cheap, lol

[McCorkle]

I don't have payments. Buy my insurance is $270/month.

[THEGOLDPRO]

sorry we all cant be rich like you greg, lol

And on that note, anyone have a 1st gen they wanna sell me for cheap?
