I got a quote for an '08 Trailblazer SS.

Driveout was right at 35,000 with my trade in added which I would be upside down in.

Anyway, I got told that my payments would be 720 a month.

I dont know how many months, either 60 or 72 I assume.

Can someone tell me the interest rates that the two different situations would be?

What I have is this:

A- 720*60= 43,200.00
B- 720*72= 51,840.00
C- 35,000.00 driveout

A-C=8,200.00
8,200.00/60=136.66
720/136.66=5.29% --I think--

Is that equation correct? If not then what is the percentage?

Randy,

$35k
60 months @ 9% is $726/month

google search "payment calculator" and you will find several you can edit with interest rates and duration.

Thats a horrible intrest rate. We just got our 08 TB w/the 3SS 2wd package for 1.9% financing for 36 mo through GMAC.

IIRC it was a little over 5% APR for a 60 mo loan.

Keep what you have and buy a jetski or two. Bring them to the lake this summer.

That is why I didnt pick it up. I am still getting my credit back up to where it should be. I just need to be a little more patient about it.

I could afford the note, just wasn't going to pay that much for it. As soon as I would have signed for it, my ex would have taken me back to court and gotten more for child support to stick up her nose.

Yea, I feel you there!

On a side note:

Unless your incomes changes MORE than 10%, they can't adjust child support! No matter what from what my lawyer told me when I adjusted my child support DOWN (because i took a 50% paycut coming out of the military).

Oh you don't understand. She asked for a certain dollar amount 4 years ago. When the state comes back and sees what I really make or if she asks to have it adjusted, I am totally screwed!!

If I were to go off of that, 4 years ago I made about 24k yearly. I make more than double that now.

I am debating on either that or a 4 wheeler. It is so hard to choose between the two of them for me.

Or:

Pick the kids up in a POS vehicle that way the ex will never know that you've got a new car!!

That's what I do!!!! Bad huh?

You'd never ever use a 4-wheeler.

Look around. The first chevy dealership we looked at tried to shaft us. They were quoting it about $4k higher plus wouldn't let us use any incentives or our GM points from our GM card and get the decent APR. The next one gave us a decent deal, gave us the incentives, the low interest rate, and we used the GM points.

Out of curiosity what color TBSS were you looking at? I realy wanted the granite black but there were only 2 w/in 500 miles. One (in Chickasaw, OK) was AWD and the other (in Sugarland) had navigation and we didn't want either option.

Think so? I have been riding 4 times in the last 2 weeks. Even watched Layne flip a 50cc on his head. Thank God he was wearing proper gear and it didn't leave a scratch.

I think I would get more use out of those than jet skis. How many of us go out regularly on the water?

How are you going to transport the thing?

Yea the do suck ***. I found some way better deals since then but have decided to just stick it out with what I got for now.

Good decision. Thats a high rate on a new car and that drive out/payment combo is just going to keep you upside down if you were to trade. Best just to tough it out for now.
