Re: Just bought a car. Can I take it back??
 

OP,

Sounds like you're screwed, but I do think it's a pretty sweet degen move to impulse buy a car before checking to see if you can afford the payments.

I find it fascinating that you could write a check for $9k (assuming it's good) but you can't afford payments on a $14k loan.

Is poker a viable income supplement?

Buy gap insurance. Park the car in the ghetto with the windows rolled down and the keys on the front seat. Collect insurance money.

Yeah, the check is good. My rent is really high and combined with other bills = me being in over my head. I could have had less of a down payment and financed more I guess but I was thinking the way I did it was the more fruitful way.

Oh OK. That's cool. I figured that the typical American had $500 in the bank and $4k worth of bills every month, so found it weird that you'd acquire $9k with a fairly small (within a few hundred of your previous nut) income and a tendency to impulse buy cars.

lol at needing gap insurance if you put 9K cash down - gap covers LTV in excess of 100%

Thanks for the help. I guess I'm rooting against a bank financing me (kinda sick).

Re: Just bought a car. Can I take it back??
 

Go to the dealership and explain to them you have to return the car because you can't afford it.... offer them ~$500 for their trouble, and promise to buy a car from them when you can afford it which will likely be very soon.
