Need Advice
 
Yeah so, some of you guys have heard that ive been having problems... ive go the 92 ls and that damn 99 eclipse and now a 06 scion. basically the teg is a project car and i own it ...it is costing me nothing to have so im not gonna ditch it....besides i will jsut get another one in true honda/acura fashion. But im between a rock and a hard place. i make about 600 bucks a paycheck and that is every two weeks. the car payment on the scion is 383 and the payment on the eclipse is 178 and i have to pay about 300 bucks for insuance other then that i have no expenses so i can get by. Now i went to carmax and they said that the eclipse is only worth 1700 bucks due to a bent frame.... well ---- me. right now i dont have the ability to take legal actions i i jsut need the eclipse to ---- off. the bank payoff is about 5600 bucks and the car is in great condition. if there was frame dmg ist was so minimal that it isnt een noticable. ive been under this car a hundred times and never noticed it. the car runs and drives fine and has a new clutch/flywheel and new tiures and has a shade over 77k miles. i treid selling it to some mexicans but that doenst seem to work so im going to put it in the auto trader this week and see if that works..... i doubt it. i need some advice

Put it in her stink-hole.

Sounds like you put yourself in that position. You lack financial planning and it's owning you.

You're only 19 and you got an 06 Scion piece of ----? Damn son. You need to sell everything and get yourself a nice EF or EG, then save the rest.

ya really why would you go buy a scion on 1200/month?

and how does carmax know the frame is bent if it's that unnoticable.

DAMN, CARFAX!!!!

I've had my 2000 Integra on Autotrader now for about 3 months, and nothing, a few calls but just a bunch of kids dreaming. I guess you can try but it sucks.

My advice is that you shouldn't have purchased the scion without getting rid of the Eclipse at least. Now is too late. Your only way out is selling that eclipse, so try that first. Then go to school and get a better job ;)....
If the Eclipse is driveable, Use it everyday with a big For Sale sign. Just sell it for what it owes, just to get rid of it.

here was the case i work like 45 min to an hour from my house, and i needed a reliable ride to work. the teg wasnt running and the eclipse was giving me problems so i bought the scion as a worry free transportation to get to work to pay for whit notw the teg isnt costing me anything so that isnt the problem the eclipse is the problem it is costing me like 200 bucks a month to have and its nto that bad i can barley make it buy but i jsutneed to get rid of the ------- thing. i dont want yall to think im a complete idiot.

You bring home 1200$ a month and you have 3 cars.....only 1 of which you own??? sorry but you are stupid son, my finace and I bring home 65-70k a year and we feel uncomfartable owing the 1800$ on her CRV....I still drive 92' prelude...

I used to have a car payment, and I figured out it was stupid. Ill invest in things that go up in value....my car is a hobby

Sell your Scion....Sell your Eclipse buy yourself a little EF that is ugly as sin, and buy a couple of d16s to stash in the garage. I drove my '89 CRX 300 miles to school for 5 1/2 years and then commutted with it 90 some miles round trip a day for a year and a few summers. I must have clocked about 280k miles on that thing......two engines, and I dont think I spent over 4k on it including the car....dependability is not a "new car issue"

My 2000 subaru with 50k miles blew a tranny and I spent a week repairing it and promptly sold it....my paid for 92 prelude is more dependable. Get a brain and stop making other people rich, make yourself rich

I would have traded in the eclipse, even if they only gave you so much, and added to the other car, your payment with insurance would have been less than the total of the two cars plus two insurances that you now have to pay. In my opinion that was the mistake, but I understand sometimes we make quick decisions out od neccesity.

Too late for what if's now, you have to get rid of the eclipse, that's all I can say.
post it in local forums.
Orlandoforums.com and tamparacing.com
see what happens
