HEY everybody, look at the NEW guy!

Swifty1638 · 03-03-2005

Well..erm... I am new? Anyway, My name is Anthony, Tony, Swifty, shitface..whatever works. I work as a mechanic at Saturn of BP. My friend has a dsm, and a buddy (korey) across the street at the bodyshop has 2 dsms..used to have 3. I know of most of this car's issues..the trannies are bad..the ecu capacitor issues..but, I still..for some damn reason..want one. I want a 1g 6/4 bolt. I only wish that I could keep HIDs, but I guess with this car, that's not an option. Anyway, I am obsessed with boost, yet I currently drive..erm.a honda. If anyone wants it, hit me up..lol I gotta find a dsm..I guess this is as good of an entrance as I can make..now, it's time to kick back, and play more gt4..ask any questions ya'll want..

Welcome! There are a handful of good DSM's for sale locally right now, just look on here and you should find at least three in a decent price range.

Have fun anyways.

Welcome!

Swifty1638 · 03-03-2005

Where? I just gotta sell my current car, and I'd soo be on one! I don't have 6 grand to spend...sadly. I don't even know how much of a loan I could get from the bank..any ideas? I can pay it, but pretty much say there is no co-sign at all. I want to get some money though, yet, I don't really have credit. So, what can I do? Is there any way that I could keep HIDs? Has anyone come out with those 94 headlights, but in projector style? Also, is it only 94 that has those fixed headlights, or what? I notice that some 92's have them too? I thought all the older style cars where pop-up lights..

Hey jakey! You live near my uncle and GPs! I know ames IA quite well..ever go get great plains pizza down there? with the honey for the crust n stuff? yummy.. I want some right now.

'90-'91 DSMs were pop-ups, '92-'99 were the non-popups. I'd look around for an HID kit as you can find an HID kit for damn near every vehicle out there. I'm sure you can find something on eBay. I don't recall if HIDs have ever been discussed for 1Gs around here so you may be best searching on Tuners in the 'Non-Performance Mods (Interior/Exterior)' forum.

I've been to Great Plains Sauce & Dough Company on quite a few occassions, definitely good pizza. Hell two pieces of it fills me up.

We have a lot of Iowans and Minnesotans on this site, huh

I'm in Iowa City at college but I live in Mason City (north central, 25mi from MN border), and my grandparents live in White Bear Lake, MN... lots of hockey friends in Rochester and St. Paul too.

Oh, and Jakey...... Go Hawks

Welcome

Welcome!

Swifty1638 · 03-04-2005

thanks all..I hope to get my dsm soon enough..in good condition anyways. How would you guys go about getting a loan fron the bank? We will say that I have no credit. I mean, I pay my celly bills, but that's nothing. I refuse to get a credit card, and frankly, I don't know how else I could get one. I tried a while ago to get 10 grand, but nope..not happening. Oh, I'd also prolly say that I don't have a co-signer either. I know for a fact, i can pay the bill..I mean, I don't have too much to pay for, so it would be easy!

Welcome!

I have a pretty solid DSM if you are looking. I think a ring just went though. Has a low mileage head on it. No rust. Hit me up with a PM if you want to know more.

You can put HID's in the 92-94's.

**Halon** · 03-04-2005

I got an 8k loan from my credit union with ZERO credit from my credit union. I just had to have atleast a 10% down payment. Why do you refuse to get a credit card? It's a nice way to build up your credit if you use it responsibly. Just put a couple tanks of gas on it a month, and pay it off at the end of the month. If you're looking for someone to co-sign you on here, I don't think it's going to happen. Plus you can find 1g's for cheap enough that you probably wouldn't even need a loan. and Welcome!!

Swifty1638 · 03-04-2005

no no no..not at all. I don't want anyone to co-sign for me, as that also rates on their credit. I just wanna know how I can get a loan. Frankly, after a few problems, I basically have no money..atleast not enough to buy a car with..I'd love to trade someone for my car, and there is already one guy I am meeting up with tomorrow to discuss that option, but without extra cash to also give away, I really dunno how well I am gonna be..

That is exactly what I do. I started last year and I already have good credit. Just make the payments ON TIME.

Swifty1638 · 03-05-2005

Well, I should start then..what credit card do ya'll have? Good rates? That still doesn't help me in the immediate need for cash though..

**Halon** · 03-05-2005

I have a Visa through my bank. Have you even tried applying for a loan yet? Like I said, through my credit union, they approved me for 8k as long as I had 10% down. Go to your bank that you've been with, and see if they'll approve you as long as you have a down payment.

Swifty1638 · 03-05-2005

well, i got a visa debit card, but it doesn't work like the credit cards. I recently applied for a 10 grand loan..no suck luck. I wonder what all i could get a loan for. I'd hope they'd wanna go cheaper? I am sure that for a 92 tsi, there is no auto loan, so i'd hafta call it a personal loan..

john · 03-05-2005

I doubt that anyone is going to give you a loan to buy a 10+ year old car. Most people can afford them and they are not that great for collateral reasons as they tend to break easier than a new car. They are a higher risk to the loaner.

I started with the "college Visa" at wells fargo. ~1000 limit, ~13% (starting somehow). The limit is now $1500. I have a capital One platinum car (2k limit, 12.9 fixed APR), and I have a BBY card with a $600 limit. I get the damn things in the mail all the time now.
