What's you vette costing you per month?
Mine is $302 a month for 60 months at a 4.99% interest rate...I financed $16k through my credit union...I had a budget of about $350 a month so it worked out well for me...I didn't want to get strapped into a huge payment and then worry about how to pay for it..

As for cost, do you mean in $$ or in the angst of having to wash black car after it gets caught in rain, personal despair at appearance of minor scratch(es), torment of fingerprints on car, mental dilemna of which wax/polish to use, cost of mods vs. practicality, apparent increasing obsession with this car? Money, that's the least of my issues apparently.
And i bought the car for my wife. It's beginning to consume me, hopefully addiction will wane...perhaps therapy along "It's just a car..." lines would help.
Arghhhhh.....
Oh yeah: 27K financed, $506 per month; 3.9% for 60 months. Paid off house last year so this replaces mortgage; maybe i should live in the thing.

This info is pretty useless unless you know if the deal is a lease, retail financing, or smartbuy, final purchase price, down payment, length of financing etc....

Save for years. Buy used, pay cash, let someone else take the depreciation!
Then start saving for the 2007 Z06 I'll be buying around 2011 and let the boy have what's left of the '98
