Default layaway parts

i was just wondering if there was a company that offered somekinda layaway plan for parts because my camaro and jeep payment and insurince is killin me, need to get some mods for my LS1 but with all the stuff that im paying out i end up with only half of the amount for a nos kit out of every pay check. just wondering if anyone knew anything about some company that offers that because i would really like to be able to get some mods right now, until i get my next raise.

Quoted for truth. I know it hurts to go without mods... I'm looking at not modding for another four years or so because of school, insurance, and other costs. Picking up more debt for mods when you're already financing two vehicles doesn't seem like the best idea to me.... Well, do what you feel is best, I guess.

To actually answer your question, I don't know of any layaway mod companies, and I seriously doubt anybody does that. Sorry!

Do you have any local speed shops in your area? That would be the best place to try. But keep in mind if you can barely afford to modify your car for more power, how are you gonna maintain a car that will break more often because it has more power? NOS cars require refills VERY often, and go through plugs and clutches and rear tires like crazy. ask me how i know.....

I don't really know how much nitrous systems cost, but maybe just pick up cheap bolt-on mods first? Won't be as big of an impact, but everything helps in the end. Is the Camaro stock right now?

I know you can buy an STS turbo system with just 10% down.

I doubt anyone is going to do it because cars are generally a bad investment. Although they are alot of fun, aftermarket parts do not hold their value very well.

If you must you can get a personal loan or use a credit card but I dont recommend either. Just save up your money and do what you can until you can get a degree and a better job.

We offer our kits in stages. You can also put half down on an Eco-Street kit which isn't much...$875? This kit will get you an easy 450rwhp with the proper size turbo and low boost. It comes with everything needed, minus turbo and BOV if your car is M6.

What would be the point of putting parts on layaway? I don't think parts for out LS1's will run out anytime soon.

Yea man, save money. I get so frustrated with people that can't wait and save and then end up 50k in credit card debt. I just don't see how people do it. I waited a couple years and bought my car with cash. Did I want a ls1, heck yes. I wasn't willing to go in debt for it though. As long as I can help it, I'll never be in debt. Except for a house, however, I'd like to pay for that in cash too, but we all know that's not happening for a 20 yr old.

i agree that this is a bad idea.... speed is like a drug, and at the time it probably feels invaluable, but in the long run, i think u will regret it

Yes paying cash for a car would be best but it isnt the norm enless your living with your parents or driving a pos . You will always be in some sort of debt enless you live with your parents the rest of your life lol . Paying cash for a house even if your 30 isnt going to happen mostly either enless your house is on wheels . On the mod subject just get in your head what your looking for and save dont start pilling credit card bills up to mod your car do it one step at a time
