they are taking back the GLX!

[jeremy.brandow@ilsinc.com (Jeremy Brandow)]

I found out today that VCI will not approve me!  They say that my
monthly payment can not exceed 18% of my monthly income.  The only way I
could get into the GLX would be to have a co-signer.  Or they could get
me into a 4 cyl for 280 a month.  There is no way that I am going to
settle on that deal!
  One thing that I don't get is,  The dealer said he could approve me if
I bought the car.  He said my payment would be 450 for 70 months, what
the hell!  He can't approve me for a lease payment of 360 a month, but
he can RIP me a new one, and approve me with a payment of 450/70
months.  What gives?  
  I was so close to owning my favorite car.  I was able to drive it for
three days of bliss.  I had everything set, my insurance, money for the
down payment.  Now they say that I don't make enough money to afford the
GLX.  I think I sould be the one to determine that!
  I gues it would be asking to much for them to get the payment down to
$280.
  What really sucks is, they say my credit is perfect, but I don't make
enough.  I wont be able to get into a GLX until I make more money than I
do now.  I don't see that happening for a while.  I'm 21 years old, and
I can't even get a car that I budgeted myself to afford.  I just need a
rich unckle, I need to will the LOTTO, but then don't we all?
  Oh well, I've let this get to me too much.  I am going to try and
scrape as much money together as possible.  Then I will try to lease
again.  
  I have to turn the car in to the dealer tonight.  I wonder if I could
turn right around and lease the same car at it's new cost.  after all it
should have depriciated in value, because I drove it off the lot, right?
  Thanks all for your input through this whole thing.  I hope I will be
the owner of a GLX before they change the body style.
