DO YOU HAVE A JOB?

DO YOU HAVE $199?

IF SO YOU CAN OWN A NEW KIA TOMORROW!!!!!

annoying ad here in milw.

where you live again? if not a winter area get the stang, resale will be higher in the end.

though i'd rather be found in a ricer before a ford.

lol rip. those reenlistment bonuses are real nice. ive gotten about 95k in reenlistment money for 2 reenlistment so far, been in 7 1/2 years.

my next reup will max out at 100k.

hopefully i can max it out. im sure gonna try.

What's the difference between paying cash and watching it depreciate and financing it and watching it depreciate? You still have to sell it at the end and it won't be worth anymore just because some bank was toting the note and charging you interest. Investing 100k and taking a loan out for a car is a bit backwards if you ask me.

Absolutley. I will take all the 3.9% money(on car notes, run the numbers, it is often better to take 2-4% than it is to give up the rebates at 0%), and the 0.0% money they will give me.

I buy all of my electronics once per year at Best Buy on a 12 month no interest note. Not much, $1000 bucks a year, but it is free use of their money.

I HATE people like you

I've got almost 10 years under my belt and I have NEVER gotten any kind of bonus. It's kinda degrading when a troop that you right an EPR for has 45K in the bank and you are holding off buying that Gig of DDR ram that you REALLY REALLY need till next month

JB I think that add is everywere. The only way I'd ever buy a Kia is if they started making Jeeps

Why would anyone name a car KilledInAction?

if it isn't a 4x4, who cares?

although, the Mustang GT is hot with a lot of history behind it.

sorry gunslingr:( when i was enlisting, i was gonna go air force, -then i talked to the navy recruiter(-10spelling) and he started throwing money that could be made at me along with quick advancement oppourtunities if i went in this nuclear power program. so i did.

made some money, E7 in 7 years, seen the world and met some great people. im pretty happy.

Tbolt, yep, thats what i was thinking, love the older looking stangs and this one has a few of the greats all rolled into one in it. it is purdy:D

lol, I get 16.8 % on one fund I am invested in...

So... the 1.9% I pay on my truck each year that I financed it is worse than earning 16.8% on the money I could have paid up front?

LOL, you sound like a usbank finacial advisor... lol
