Can't you refinance that 10 percent KIA loan?

Ask Ally to help you. If you have an Audi with 4 percent, why not a KIA?

 


I actually posted a thread the other day about exactly that, haha. The Audi was bought when my scores were in the 700's, the kia was bought 4 years later when my scores were in the 500's/600's. Planning to refi soon!

You make "about" $170,000 a year?

That's 14,166 dollars a month.

Should not even need an auto loan!


I agree that sounds ridiculous to most people, but really it depends on where they live (and other factors). A $170k income in San Francisco means you'd need both an auto loan and an EBT card. Could also be paying $80k/year in Harvard tuition for their kids. Or maybe lost a really bad lawsuit. Ya never know.

Mo money, mo problems ...right Smiley LOL

 

Anyway, I dont know if anybody touched on this yet, I tried reading but it's early and I've only had 9 cups of coffee....you may need to make a payment while you wait for insurance pay off

Even if car is totaled, lender expects payment on time till complete paydown. You will get refunded if there is a credit. 

 

I've learned that lesson many years ago the hard way

My niece earns almost $300k and has trouble getting by.  NYC is EXPENSIVE.  Depends on where you live.

Re: Seem to be stuck and can't get auto loan

I wanted to give everyone an update and let off some steam. What I have learned is that it seems no lender, even credit unions, are willing to take into account the insurance payment Geico has made. What is frustrating is that Geico is sending a paper check via snail mail. 3-5 days to arrive, then Santander says it will take 3-5 days for them to process it. 

 

My bank is USAA and they said underwriting won't take into account the insurance payment unless it is through their insurance. So I am in a carless holding pattern waiting for Santander and Geico to get their stuff together so that a lender will stop seeing me as having high revolving balance.

 

Granted there is going to be 5k left on the note I am still owing, but because of very low DTI I am assuming this won't be a problem but we will see...

 

What a royal PITA though.

I'm sorry, but NO.  If she can't get by on $300k a year anywhere in the USA that tells me she is living way beyond her means.  My wife and I have a combined income of $170k in the DC area, and we own our own home.  I also manage to save $26k a year in my retirement account plus $10k a year in short term savings.  When I was single (2012) I lived in San Francisco on $88k a year and "got by".

I realize I'm no mod, but can we keep the judgey-ness down?

Most immediately yours, but also Cleaningitup2019 - 
I mean, I (internally) raise my eyebrows quite a bit on the board, but we're supposed to help with the issues asked about and keep it "FSR."

We don't know much about OPs life to decide whether or not they 'make enough'
