Default Is a $450 per month car payment for a 2006 Honda Civic worth it?

for 72 month loan.

Well, I have a friend who pays less than that for his Lexus? I think it's worth it if you really want it. But you can buy and 2004, or 2003, Honda Civic and have just as good an automobile, for half the cost. I'd go to www.autotrader.com. I have purchased some fantastic deals through this site...reliable, screened sellers. Check it our before you get roped in to a high payment for the next 5 years. Not to mention, by the time you pay it off, you will have paid two times what the car actually sells for through the dealership. But they made a packet on YOU!

Seems a bit high. You need to list the number of months.

over $32,000 for a Honda.No way $250 a month is more realistic

It seems too high. Check around other places before you commit.

NO and NO, and NO!!! When you get it paid for, you will have $32,400 in this vehicle. No way is this bottom of the line vehicle worth that much money. They must be financing something else in with it such as insurance on the loan in case you default. You could find your own insurance, and come out better. At this rate, and given the normal amount of miles one drives in a year, you will always own more for the car than its book value. This will rope you into a loan that you will wish to God you had never signed up for. Plain and simple; Don't do it, or you will regret it for at least 72 months. One of liefs lessons is to learn to be more practical and less compulsive when it come to toys. Be smart with your money...Spend less than you have, and save more than you need. You got to ask yourself this; Do I want a car like this? And then ask yourself; Do I need a loan like this? To distinguish between ones wants and needs is an art. To know when you are being took to the cleaners is also an art. I'll bet the salesman said "trust me" didn't he? Walk away from this deal, NO run away from this deal, because the only one getting a deal is the dealer. If you do this deal, you will regret it, because you will always owe more for the vehicle than it books for.Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!

How much 'negative equity' do you have?You MUST be trading in a vehicle that you owe more than it's value.If you feel that you need a new car, buy somethng brand new that has a HUGE rebate,

There are two determining factors: How much negative equity do you have in your trade and how bad is your credit? If you are $8000 upside down on your trade and have a beacon score of 550, you're probably looking at the right payment. Also, how much cash did you put down? A higher down payment always equals a lower monthly payment. The math is real simple. Any dealer will tell you that.
