Newbie/General ForumBeginner/basic questions and general EVO discussion. Specific questions should be asked in a focused forum below. This area is for the newbies.
Evo's are not cheap to own. You have to pay to play. If your having problems now, refinancing is only going to go so far. What if the clutch lets go, transfer case, rod bearing? These things are not uncommon. Can you take a $2000 hit?
If you can't, then maybe it is time to sell, but that's just me.

Good point, living day to day means no emergency money and being screwed when it comes down to it.
if you cant afford it....sell it. plain and simple... you dont want to be one of those peps living out of your car.
Cars will always be around, and nicer/faster ones are always coming out. Sell it, save your money, get back on your feet and buy a car when you truely afford it.

I second that. There are a lot of things to think about. Gas, food, and other supplies will only get more expensive in the up coming months. If you get a ticket or into a wreck that's your fault (hopefully this won't happen) your insurance could double.
I'm not too familiar with the whole refinancing thing. I have 0% for 60 months; 2 years left
Well, thanks for all the responses, ideas, and opinions.
It's a tough decision. The Evo has been a dream car of mine since '99 which may not be long to some of you dedicated enthusiasts, but it was long before I could drive. So literally having my dream car has been awesome; I've never had as much fun.
I haven't decided what I'm going to do just yet. I'll probably sit down with my father and have a discussion with him because he's a brilliant guy, and he co-signed.
I'm still a kid, still building credit, still learning, and this just might have been the wrong decision. My previous cars were all significantly cheaper than this, and were paid in full, up front.
At the time, when I bought the car, I was still living at home and didn't need to worry about much financially - I pull in around $2000 a month (isn't much, but it's somethin'), which I would have been ok with had I not moved out, and taken a few 'life hits' here and there.
I'll figure something out though. Maybe I'll just go buy another Honduh.
Ask me how I know and ask the guys that were there last weekend about how loud I cussed when things weren't going right...
Yes good sir.. you had quite the potty mouth . But completely understandable.
And to Posi_Joel...Im no one to be giving any type of financial advice to people, so good luck and i hope it works out that you get to keep it. I dont know what i would do if i had to sell my Evo.
U know u would buy a honda, boost it. e85, and be happy. maybe... probbibly not. but its a way to go.

Ya know I have to give you a round of applause for that. A lot of younger people these days aren't that insightful. I know for sure if I had bought an Evo when I was 19 or so and had trouble making payments I would've sold everything else I owned to afford it.
Always rememeber...cars will come and go but your health and living comfortably are much more important.
