Thoughts on purchasing IS250
Hey everyone,
Been lurking for quite some time now and haven't really been in the market to look for an IS250 until recently when my car's transmission crapped out on me. Had it overhauled, but I'm thinking about selling it and picking up a used low mileage 2008+ IS250 AWD.
Trying to get some input here because I am planning to buy it used from the stealership and finance it through credit union.
I don't necessarily have the money, but I've been torn between thinking about getting a Subaru Impreza WRX or the IS 250 and I think I'm leaning towards the IS 250 just because of comfort and I don't think I'll be really modding the car.
Reason I'm looking for AWD is because I do go up to Tahoe at least 5+ times during the season and since IS250 is RWD... I figured it might be a PITA to put chains on the rear wheels...
Well what do you guys think though? Credit union + finance so I can get lower APR and lower monthly payments?
Have any of you guys gone through credit union to purchase any of your cars? It'll be my first time, but I've done some research and found I should find out my credit score before I go to a few credit unions and my bank to compare rates and find the best one possible. Hopefully they'll let me loan at least $23k...
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
And another thought! Is it possible to do this without the need of a cosign?

Of course you can get a loan without a cosines if you have halfway decent credit and income. On my 350, I had them see what my credit union could do, and it came back at 3.5%, which is just ok. They got me 2.5% through some no name bank, so I went with that.
My first couple car loans out of college were around 7.5%! Never again!
