I found a car I want. I REALLY want it!!! Unfortunately, I am now engaged, and have to play the game of life as a "team".

I can sell my restored 1975 Jeep for at least $5000. The LE carbine would fetch $1,000



How can I get the additional $7,000?

I am looking for seriousness here folks!

Become a male prostitute, seriously the only way to make that cash that quick would involve some illegal shit.

Therein lies the problem: We are paying for our own wedding. We JUST refinanced the house out of her Mom's name, and had to pay back her sweet, dear mom the down payment. I HAD the money for my dream toy car, and had to sign it over to the future MIL!

All the play money is spoken for (for a few months). we both have dreams of putting $ into our Roth IRAs again. I have to buy back my military time at my job (So my military time counts towards retirement...)


ARRGGHHH!

Sorry to say this dude, but it doesn't sound like now is the time to be spending 13k on toys.  If you are recently married you have bigger fish to fry than a car that you want.  Investing in your future now means more toys later and ALOT less headaches in your marriage.  I'd put that money to better use, cause if you have to ask a question like this......ya can't afford it.

I do wish you luck....

If you go jumping through hoops to buy something because you just "have to have it", chances are that you'll end up hating whatever it is.

Provided a blood test comes back clean as a whistle and he raps it up, I'll take him on.

Half a billion?  Done.

I have $13K - I want the car, too.  Where is it?

Look at it this way - a fellow Ar15'er gets the car, that's almost as good as having it yourself.

Well..that is a hard car to get. Just to pacify yourself, go out and buy.....a......... let's see.....
Ah, new handgun!  It would be much cheaper and go out and get a really cool one.
The kind that makes you go to your safe a couple a times a week to handle it because it is so
cool.  That should help your Shelby addiction.  If you have a real attack you could go in the basement and shoot the water heater a few times until you feel better, then put the new ultra-cool handgun back until you need it again.

Well, if you sucked off rich elderly queers at $50 a pop you'd only have to suck off 140 old queers to get the car.

You have some really messed up priorities.  The fastest way to sink a marriage is to make large, unplanned purchases that run you into debt and limit your options.  You say you just bought a house--there are so many costs associated with that beyond just the mortgage, taxes and insurance.  

You are not the car you drive.

Certain organizations are known to pay signing bonuses for new employees...

Of course, that comes with a much larger committment & isn't the best on new families...

if you ever ever want to get rich (or at least have a significant positive net worth).

.................Never ever borrow money on a depreciable asset.  

This car MAY be an investment - hard to say.  So borrowing money...maybe.  

Can you Afford it is the question?

Good luck.
