I was the same way- a year out of college and no credit to my name. So what I did was join a credit union. They gave me the loan for 7.5%!

So like the title says, goodbye G35. Over Thanksgiving weekend I went to my friends house to kill time while I waited to pick up my girlfriend from work. When it was time to get my girl, my buddy and I went in his car. After picking up my girl and already back at my buddys place, I walked over to my car to get my wallet which I had forgotten, and I found my G smashed from the front.
I thought it could only be the grille but when I inspected the car, the radiator was cracked, the radiator core support was broken, bumper and headlight smashed, and a few bends on the hood.
The Dumba$$ responsible for this took off. I spoke with a lady across the street that said she saw a older truck pulling away and driving off from my car seconds after she heard the bang. Police report was made and insurance was called.
On monday morning Mossy Collision picked up my car to inspect and do an estimate for my insurance.**I did NOT pick the shop. my insurance decided to go with nissan/infiniti dealer bull$h!t** the total came out to be $9,437 for all repairs and labor on my car. Insurance said "NO" total loss.
My payoff on the G is $10,000 and they valued my G at $15,000. I am now upset because c'mon, headlight, hood, fenders, radiator bumper, core support 9 grand????? I am now left without a vehicle and on public transportation.FML. It happens right...Oh well...thats my long boring heart break story about how I am now without a G35...

Just check around to ensure you can insure it again. I was able to insure again at 75% of the total value, but that varies from state to state.
Good luck and sorry to hear about the hit and run. Hope to cops catch the a**hole who did that.

wow that sucks minimal damage and it's totaled. Sounds like it'll work out for the best I didn't even know they made auto loans with interest that high seems like if they felt thay had to charge that damn much interst they wouldn't give you a loan period. My first car I bought new with no credit was a 98 Mustang GT and Ford credit gave me 7% interest. So what's this "turbo" car you're wanting to buy ?

I was in a low speed front collision a while ago with my 04 sedan. The insurance company estimated $11,000 in damages and totaled the car. They let me retain the car and gave me a check for 75% of the value (about $9,000). I got the car fixed for around $5,000 and it drives just as well as before. They left the title clear as well. I would advise you to do the same thing if you didn't have that outrageous interest rate. Good luck with your new car.
,How much was the buy back option? same thing happened to my previous car prelude i bought it back for 100$ and parted it out, oh yeah jsut a note to members from my experiences always refuse the first offer they give u, unless its reasonable, they will give u maximum dollar for ur car, so if the buy back option is cheap sell me the spoiler LOL
Thank you all for your kind words. Im only getting $5000 because i still owe $10000 to the finance company...the car only has 65xxx miles and its a 6mt...im just going to get the cash, save up like 3 months and get a turbo car...I love the G but knowing that it will be salvage I have no interest in it anymore...oh and reason why it was 9 grand was because my insurance went through the stealership
But feel sorry for u bro i know how u feel, i dumped alotta money in my previous car
