You would be fine. it really does not matter what you pay with your Amex. but i think the big issue would be if the bank that is the lender for your car. will actually take a credit card for payment. as far as amex. no issue what so ever. as long as you pay your bill.


I would absolutely love if my car payment of 900$ a month could go on a credit card, but most lenders won't take that a payment method.. Unless I am missing how to do this?


$900 a month for a car? That's more than my mortgage..damn.

Eyeballing a 2012 s550. It would be 936 at 36 months. Plus 3500 down. So that's not bad.

Mine too! Not that I can't afford that payment - I just can't stand making those type of payments on a depreciating asset!  Everytime I think of those kind of payments I also think - well, could get a little investment property and have it produce income instead.  Must be a mindset...Smiley Wink

350 more than enough for new car. I'm talking high end Benz. That's 900 plus.

@Nah a 50k car... 6 year loan at meh interest rate... going to refi or buy a new car this year...  I am single, no kids (well a dog) and make over 100k... So that is my justification.  Leasing a place @1k a month as well.. So not to bad

See. I don't look at car as asset. It's really a liability. Unless you are making money with it.
