What should I do? I found a car, but it might not be for sale...

Wow ... very cool that you got to go see it a bit more, GMTG.

So, did I miss the announcement ... do you have it now? Or?

Well, I received word last Friday that I will be laid-off from my job at the end of June (June 24th, to be exact). So the little bit of money I have saved up will not be going towards this car, as I can't take on a loan for the remaining amount I would need to purchase the car. Plus taking on more debt when income coming in has stopped is not the best plan. I e-mailed the owner last Friday and he replied yesterday hoping things go well for me because he wants the car to go to a good home That Saturday I went to see it, the owner said he expected between $4,000 and $4,500 for it - if he were to take $2k I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. I still have to figure out how I'm going to pay the mortgage, utilitity bills, two car payments, already amassed debt, food and whatever else needs to be paid if unemployment doesn't help cover what my wife brings home and hope that a decent paying job is in my near future.

Not good news, Roger.

I'm sorry to hear it, but rest assured that you have lots of company.

Cruddy times we live in.

I'm sorry, Roger. What a bite in the ass. So many ppl are in the same boat, and it's listing to the left more and more each day. I know working in a dealership, as I do, doesn't help me sleep at night. I just hope things improve soon for the whole country.

Thanks Camino and ocnblu for your words of encouragement. I know a lot of people are in the same position - many for much longer now - and I hope that the economy picks up soon and all of us in this boat get rescued ASAP.

I did get an e-mail the other day from another BPG dealership I've e-mailed in the past that I just read today saying that GMAC is offering a 5-payment pull-ahead offer for current GMAC SmartLease customers. I do have 7 payments left, but maybe if I get out of the AURA and into something a little cheaper, I can use the money savings towards a loan for the '87 GP? I know it's not the smartest thing to do, but I do want this GP and I've been having a hard time accepting defeat here. Of course cheaper would mean a base '09 G5 Coupe or '09 Vibe.. but the wife likes both of those cars anyway, so if I make a deal with her to get the Vibe she's always wanted, I get the '87 GP and the G6 to drive!

I saw your note in another thread about this turn of events. Very sorry, GMT. Sure hope you are able to get another job soon so you can pick up this GP. It is very nice....
