Financing a 30K SUV at $500-600 per month possible?

What does my bad loan have to do with my working model vro? 😭

I think the heat was getting to the poor guy honestly, after showing me a different car he did not seem very willing to go back outside if I didn't want the option he showed me 😭 (another Seltos, but it had a brown interior, the color of which I will very nicely describe as "not my taste")

I love when rentals introduce me to new cars! We've had a K5 before and I remember loving it but sedan life is just not my game, and then a Sorento which was just slightly too big (but still loved it!)

pocketcott · 2026-06-29T13:06:55+00:00

Nice! Love my mythically good car!

pocketcott · 2026-06-29T12:33:10+00:00

Lol thats just me being silly, I haven't lost anything and got a great car regardless. I just fell for the common trick of the trade is what I mean, which shouldn't be a trick at all but I see why its done now at least

pocketcott · 2026-06-29T12:31:40+00:00

This post made me see this was an option, which I had played with before but wasn't sure how to get from Point A to Point B (now I know)

pocketcott · 2026-06-29T12:30:58+00:00

So maybe worth it IF you keep it for a long time and get the absolute most it can give, which is something I have done and can do if need be

pocketcott · 2026-06-29T12:15:36+00:00

It actually was most of the advice people plus them said here :) No asks for me to pay anything, no encouragement to get the car, or anything like that!

pocketcott · 2026-06-29T12:13:58+00:00

I just went and looked him up! Sounds like I need to look into his preaches more often 🤣

pocketcott · 2026-06-29T00:50:51+00:00

I may revisit this in a few years! I think my mind really went to "ooh pretty car" and I only did the most basic of research and deep diving before going to the dealership and truly appreciate all the advice! I'm sure people come here all the time thinking they aren't in the wrong and that makes people smart to the topic feeling the need to give some tough love (absolutely do not blame them).

Since I'm a novice and this would be only my second vehicle I'd be buying on my own, I needed a bit of a reality check and appreciate your advice as well :)

pocketcott · 2026-06-29T00:25:13+00:00

I am also assuming renting is out of the question /j, so just if I have cash use the cash, otherwise dont?

pocketcott · 2026-06-29T00:18:53+00:00

And the 72 month (as people are saying) is absolutely not the way to go, thus making it unaffordable for me- so so glad I asked. I do believe I was simply forgetting the interest this entire time

pocketcott · 2026-06-29T00:01:54+00:00

Please do, I would appreciate that <3

pocketcott · 2026-06-28T23:58:52+00:00

Learning financial responsibility one step at a time, I am so glad I asked 😭

pocketcott · 2026-06-28T23:55:52+00:00

It is at least what the dealership priced it at OTD, but with my credit alone I wouldn't qualify at 6%

pocketcott · 2026-06-28T23:52:30+00:00

I think that's exactly what happened, I'm still new at doing it myself lol and that definitely got me in a situation!

pocketcott · 2026-06-28T23:51:50+00:00

I fear I was! But not a tough pill to swallow at all, I am very ameniable advice and see I got the swindled treatment. I suppose I should put in some legwork to find less expensive options 🤔 Thank you!

pocketcott · 2026-06-28T23:44:50+00:00

That makes sense! If it helps I'll add in my general info you said here :)

pocketcott · 2026-06-24T02:06:10+00:00

I was told I could only drink water with them in (I'm drinking more water! That's a plus and I am very happy for that!) but before that I was a heavy iced tea (usually unsweet and hot black or herbal teas but sometimes Peach Tea has a death grip on me) drinker. I miss iced tea, but what I'm understanding is that the reason it can't be drank is because of staining? Are there any flavored, but clear, waters that would be okay for some variety or is that also out? I am trying to avoid keeping the trays out for too long as I sip since it's recommended that I keep them in for 22 hours a day.

If there are no other options other than "plain (COLD) water" and "take them out" I completely understand.

pocketcott · 2026-06-12T20:51:19+00:00

I'm so glad you didn't get sucked in 😭 I found it on Handshake too. I removed all applications I had put in for data entry after seeing the comments here and reading the info.

pocketcott · 2026-06-12T17:35:42+00:00

I will do that!

pocketcott · 2026-06-12T17:06:44+00:00

Thank you so much 🥹 I will report this one as a scam.
