Re: what is your monthly payment?
$336.02/month @ 5.75%
Car went for $25, and I put $7,500 down.
I was going to pay cash, but my APR was too low. I put the cash I was going to use in a CD that pays 8%.
Sure, it's only effectively earning me 2.25%, but I'm glad I did it now, considering the recent interest rate trends.

First off; welcome to the forum! I'm an old fart and paid cash for my 04 with 25500 miles. At your age your loan isn't that bad. The guy that originally purchased it probably paid in the 30k range. Looking at it that way you got a steal!!
These cars are so under valued for what you get. Most importantly enjoy your purchase. Now get out there and wax that baby!!

Re: what is your monthly payment?
2007 Base coupe. Purchased April 2008. $250/mo, 10.6% APR. First new car purchase.
No co-signer, no one elses name on the lien. Though I did have an in with the ownder of the dealership, which helped the price some.
Previous car was a 1994 Blazer, $2600 cash. Got $1000 for it on the trade-in and was ecstatic.
EDIT: 23 miles on the ODO when purchased. She was new.
