wacovia fucking sucks, I financed the ta through them and all they set you up to pay is the interest so they get their money first.

My payment was $408 and I paid like 600 for 4 months straight, then they tell me I dont owe anything for a month.... in 1 year I paid close to 6-7k and it didn't even dent the principal amount

Thats how all loans are. Your paying the bulk of the interest first. Its done by a percentage. If you skip the month they say you dont have to pay and then continue to pay more again, its like starting over. Anything over your payment amount you pay gets put towards your next months bill.

Ive been told but I havent personally done this....
Send two checks, one for the exact amount another for whatever extra you want to pay and in the notes on the check put "principal only". Then its taking off the principal not the interest.

i dont see an issue with what you paid at the time... but your obviously gettin effed on the interest and all that fun stuff. The trans, wheels, brakes, etc are a solid starting point for what ya got it for.

This is what scares me about trying to trade my x in. i really want a 02 T/A but am scared at what kinda points they would want on the loan.

goto any small bank and as long as you have good credit they should give you a loan. Just start calling banks asking what the interest rate for your yr of car and milage.

My bank said they could give me 12k tops at 10% flat for my 01 t/a ws6 with 71,9xx miles, but I had some cash on hand and I bought the car less than 12 anyways lol so that obviously helped
