As far as a down payment is concerned, if your old car runs and goes down the road it is worth a minimum of $300.00. That and a job in the field in which you have your degree in, is all you need to buy a new car. The rates are low so you should be able to find something that you like and can afford. Also when the rates were 18% it may have been a good idea to lease to lower your payment. ihdev!ihnet!bryan
