Default in a huge pinch, want a trans am today?

I found a good deal on a prand prix gtp, and needed it for the family and baby on the way. So we go to look at it last night and make sure its still there, just to see a guy pull up from test driving it. My wife doesent even hesitate and hands me the savings account card and we used her maturnity leave money to put 500 down to save it for today when we get the loan, well somehow, even with a co-signer with awsome credit, we cant get the loan, so we are going to lose the 500 and the car if we dont get the money somehow, so i have to try and sell my car asap help!

It's a full bolt on 1993 with ws6 wheels. lt's through a moroso spiral flow and a turndown, done right. All engine gaskets new, trans seals new, poly engine and tranny mounts, new style steering wheel with no stereo buttons, etc. Too much to list. The only issue is the body still looks awsom but there is a dent in fron of the drivers side rear wheel.

If you have "awesome credit" AND a good co-signer. Go somewhere else, no reason you shouldn't be able to get a loan...

try a credit union out instead of a local bank... if that would work try a personal loan with both of your names

A 16 year old girl can get a car loan large enough to cover a GTP with no credit.

Go somewhere else. Hell, that loan is probably only going to need to be $3500. Try a personal loan instead. Sometimes they say no based off the car itself. That's what I had to do to buy my $3900 truck. The mileage was too high, so I had to get a personal loan for it... but I get to have lower insurance now!

I really dont see why you couldnt get it on a personal loan. I mean, Im 21 and have "young" credit and can get a personal loan to buy a cheap car.

no i have terrable credit, my co signer has awsom credit. We couldent get the loan because i have accounts that i have been in bad standing with in the past, i am current now. The dealer does not finance, so we wer trying to get it through ent, where our co signer banks and has had car loans before. It's not that i have not alot of credit, its that i have bad credit. We already put 500 down on the car thinking we would be fine with the co signer, so i wanted to get money to be able to buy the car and not lose the 500 non refundable dollars, I have tomarrow, maby the next day to figure it out, otherwise we just lose the 500 bucks. And the 500 bucks was maturnity leave savings for my wife.

It got so much work done to it, i even did alot of work getting the paint to look good again and installed new silverstar headlights, and fogs, so its really bright like a newer car. I'm dead serious, if anybody wants to give 3500 for it its gone.

check the pressure, and its at idle, and warmed up after driving for about half an hour. It's also got a new sending unit, so new float, gage, and pump. I'm also a mechanic and have taken good care of it and know when something is wrong.
