Seven: Profit!

Followed in your footsteps Doug and bought my last luxury sports car from Carmax.

Not particularly pretty.

Test Drive Off Road Wide Open

This price seems TOO low. There's something off here. 1963 isn't even THAT old for those unfamiliar...these things were introduced in the early fifties and there are tons still flying.

That sucks. Credit is an unforgiving biatch. 720+ would be considered a "good-very good" score at the very least.

Smallblockelky is a reference to the El Camino I drive. It has a Chevrolet small block engine. You may have heard of it.

I've always considered "prime" to be 800+, but just recently got a loan at the prime rate and, as far as I can tell, have a score more in the 760-780 range.

Everyone listen to the guy who worked in mortgage lending. He, better than anyone else, understands that there is an extreme amount of risk to financial institutions and borrowers who engage in sub-prime lending/borrowing. The recent housing crisis taught him this.

This might come off snarky but I promise I'm not trying to be that way. I'm a recent college grad myself and married to a woman who has student loan debt, so I understand where you're coming from.

Couldn't agree more.

ORLY???

Nah...I don't think that many people try to play off their beetles as "classic". Look at all the fun baja bugs and such. It's a carefree car...not something you see 65 year olds in Tommy Bahama shirts driving around a lot.

32 Ford. I'M SO TIRED OF SEEING 32 FORDS.

Looked at El Camino prices.

Hey Doug,

Wow. Almost speechless.

WOWWWWWW 32K SINCE JUNE???? By god thats nearly 130k annually.

Disagree on the front end. Totally agree on the headlights. They're atrocious.
