Or do what my dads girlfriend did. Start off in a brand new Jeep patriot. Realize it's a POS and roll over payments into a Jeep Renegade. Realize it's to expensive and roll over those payments in a Kia Sorento. Realize the Kia is a bigger POS and roll all that over into a Kia Forte. her payments are now $398 a month for the next 8 years.

Just food for thought.

I did something similar to this but my progression was: 350Z > 370Z > Mazda 3 > GTI. That's why I promised myself to keep the GTI at least four years. My loan for the GTI was 7ish years which is why I'm ~$5k upside-down. If the peeling interior of the 350Z didn't bother me so much I might not be in this situation...lol.

Follow your head, not your heart. Your heart will get you in trouble every time. In more ways then one.

Definitely, the decision has been made! No Z for me until I'm no longer upside down on my GTI, and possibly until it's paid off!
