Can I afford the 2009 Dodge Challenger?

MSRP $28,370 Finance Rate @ 5.74% $418/month no money down I believe its over 7 years. Tax ontop of that 12% do i pay that once? I have currently $10,000 to spend towards the car. I make roughly $6,000 a year that can be put towards the car. I'm 17 so I wanted though if... Read More

  • Highly doubtful, I'm sorry to say. I own an early '09 SE, roughly same MSRP and am currently paying $451/month over 5 years/2.99%APR with a 2000 down payment. I make significantly more than 6K a year and am still stretched thin with those payments. As other people have said insurence payments will be roughly... Read More
  • No way in hell making only 6k a year. Plus, you cant expect to put 6,000 a year ALL to your car. What about gas? oil changes? tune ups? Inspection? Tags? Tires? Insurance? Lots of bills buddy. You cant afford it. If you have 10k buy a used car for 3-5 k. A dealer wont even finance you for the car since you only make 6... Read More
  • Only way you can afford it is if you find a used base model with high miles for around $15K. Even then you will be struggling. You have to think ahead.

Other Choices:

Sporty cars like the 2009 Dodge Challenger invite paper comparisons where horsepower, torque, and available performance options rise to the top of the priorities list. This focus on performance limits the Challenger's competition to its two historical competitors (Mustang and Camaro). Compared to these competitors, the Challenger's trunk is larger at 16.2 cubic feet, and it does have marginally more rear seat room, although none of these cars offers a truly roomy backseat.
