If you have to finance it, chances are you can't afford it.

Exactly. Sure, you might be able to finance the kit. But what about the $3-5k in supporting mods, or the emergency fund if you have to replace the motor? It's a bad idea.

Unless you've got the money, but it's been invested somewhere and you're making money on it. Finance it at zero percent and pocket the difference. But I don't think that's what's going on here.

Sure Fire recipe for a Garage Queen. Second time I've seen this type of question and it still amazes me. I would really hate to see that because it would likely be a 3-400 car payment 2-300 performance finance then trying to save up for a possible build and R&R. That's a whole lot of Ramen and beans.

Good God... this is 90% of what is wrong with society. The idea that "I HAVE TO HAVE IT NOW!!!!!"



FFS, show some discipline and save your money. Besides... why would you SC a 2009/2010 vehicle?

Financing forced induction is a huge mistake.

If you need to finance it, chances are you cannot afford it. Nor can you afford the fun stuff that goes along with owning a non-factory FI car.
