I own my baby (Troop in sig) but I was driving to work and noticed a black '95 parked by an office building. So I stopped today after work.

Its a '95 w/ 87K Miles, Stock as a rock, Tinted windows, stock stereo, emaculant condition, auto tranny.

Im thinking this will be fun, luxurious (Compared to my 1st Gen) and more reliable since it has more than 100K miles less than my 1st gen. I called about it and he didn't know anything mechanical. All its life (Well since he bought it from a car lot) nothing has died, and he took it to a trusted mechanic locally.

He said blue book was just over $8k for it (Havnt verified) so he is asking $6995 OBO. Upon talking to him he said he could work with $6500, less $100 if I do some computer/network consulting for him.

Would this be a good price?

Now...Here is where I need advice. Im 17, 18 in less than a month. My current job (Lasts til June) pulls in about $400 a month. This dosnt include the fluctuating income from websites I do on the side. I would have to get a loan, and the guy helped me estimate that it would be around $200/Month for about 3 years to pay off the loan. Come June though I will be pulling in about $1600/Month which is alot more doable.

So whats your opinion? Get the loan, learn financial responsibility, eat beans, and build credit. Or pass this baby up and look come June with the new job?
