Some Advice? 650+ Credit, $5000 Down. What can I do?
Hey everybody,
So I recently moved and am in need of a car-- and I've always wanted a G35, ever since I saw one years and years ago. That being said, I don't have the best knowledge on what I will be capable of doing with my current plan. Here's the key notes to everything..
1) Great work history, no job at the moment (will have one within the next 2 weeks. I can wait it out until I have employment proof because I'm sure that will help me in getting a loan)
2) My credit score should be between 650-700 I believe.
3) I have up to $5000 (MAX!!!) that I can put down as a down payment. Would prefer less, so I have some change in my pocket to take care of emergency expenses and all that.
What steps would you guys take to get a G35 with these conditions? I'm really only looking at a 2005+ G35. Should I look at the local infiniti dealers?? Or maybe just scout out private dealers with the car on the lot?
I was also debating if it was a good idea to go with a used car vs say, a brand new V6 Camaro or Mustang or something of that sort. Then I would be talking about 20k-25k depending. Any credit / car shopping guru's advice would be a great help! Thanks a bunch!

That being said, I have always loved the smooth and clean lines of a nice G. Especially in Silver. Gah!!! Choices!!! Well, at least I'm not going to be driving a beat up riced out teggy or civic =P Thanks for the input fellas.

Thanks man. Yeah, I'm really up in the air about it-- I have 3 highly sought after degrees - IT Field. I'm in the bay area which is really hot for IT jobs. I should have a well paying job within a few weeks. I have saved up over 10 grand, but only want to use 5k or so down on the initial payment to lower it. I think it should be doable as well. Although I'm also thinking about maybe something more practical and newer like a 2013-14 Honda Accord.. Or maybe even one of the base v6 camaros if I can swing it. I always liked the retro styling on the new muscle cars.

If you feel that it is time, pull the trigger and nab a G. I wasn't even planning on buying a car as I was fine with my '99 Jeep...but I just had to have it. Do what works for you.

wtf^^^
Anyways, I wouldnt finance anything without a job and steady income coming through. Regardless if you have an offer or a job you are to start in 2 weeks. Nothing is guaranteed man, regardless of your degree for this or that. $5k isnt **** when you have no job, but it is a great amount when you do have a job and steady income.
Many lenders will ask for proof of income as a conditional approval along with whatever else they feel is necessary to lower their risk. If you have a lender who you do banking with i.e. Bank Of America or a Credit Union and have had previously paid loans with them, then you might get away with financing without a job.
Good luck man, I've worked in consumer lending for a credit union for several years so I know a few things. If you have any questions just ask or pm me. I would strongly suggest you head over to www.creditboards.com. You will find a lot of helpful info from people and lenders.
