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.

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
