How did you guys get your cars?

[mccula]

Financing?
Parents bought them?
Dealing drugs?
I've seen some kids at previous meets with whips way too expensive for themselve's too have bought, unless they financed. In which place, they must have had amazing credit.
Honestly though, how many people here are "sponsored by mom and dad?"

I'll start- I work at wendys. That's why I drive a bone stock 95 jetta. I'm a student too. I bought it straight up with cash from an auction, after I got outa basic training.

im 18 with a 2000 si and have been slingin rocks since i was five! jk i have been working 2 jobs for about 2.5 years and i still barely cover insurance cuz its at about $2500 a year. but to buy the car my parents chipped in 2k of the 9k it cost me

I work my ass off every weekend and break, and I take great pride in that.

[assault187]

I wonder about this ALL the time.....

I work @ H&R Auto radio... I turned 18, got the job, busted my ass and saved up...Bought the car from a freind of mine for $$CASH$$

And I pay with all my mods with the money I make doing "12 Volt side jobs" and some side work doing HVAC w/ my brother

[CHAOS]

lol

is someone really going to admit to using drug money for buying their car?


mine is financed.

[xEJ20x]

Financed.
I busted my ass for a year and a half to get a good down payment.

i got my car when i was 18 and still in high school for 9k and it had 42,000 miles. i financed mine...obviously being that age i needed a cosigner b/c i had no credit, but i worked my ass off to pay for the car and the nice 2400/yr insurance payment...not to mention the maintainance/gas/etc. that comes with owning a car. i am proud to say i never had to ask anyone for money to pay for my car.


try the search button also...this topic has been covered numerous times

so far I can believe all the stories here... I want answers from some of the younger people (IE 18-25) who have STIs, R32s, new WRXs or Lancers, Rx8s, etc etc...
also good to see I'm not the only one wondering.

You don't have to be rich or have a great paying job to have a decent car. Its about using other people's money (Bank,Lenders,etc) as leverage, building positive credit and saving money. I bought my 02 WRX in 2004 when I was 21 years old and paid it off in about two and a half years. Now 24 years old, I bought my 06 STi in july and just recently sold the WRX. I work fulltime for the my Air National Guard unit and the pay is decent with our allowances included. When I first bought the WRX, I was late on a bunch of monthly loan payments. Not because I didn't have the cash but because I was just young, lazy and stupid. I still "pay" for this mistake today and for the near future. My loan rates are higher and I have a hard time getting things like as simple as a cell phone plan. So don't F yourself over with trying to live beyond your means or just not paying your bills on time.
With that said, I enjoy my cars but I also save money like a mad man. 10-15% of each paycheck goes into investments.
Remember that just because someone has a nice car doesn't mean they are well to do. They could be rolling in a Porsche but living in a rented one bedroom studio in a shatty part of town. People see lesser known rappers/singers with big houses, high-end rides and think that they must be rolling in dough. Reality is that most of those things are owned by their labels and when the artist stops making them money, they boot them from the house and take back the car. Its called fake wealth.

Gary does have sex for money because I have to tape it and post in on TSTonall4s.com to pay for my toys.

Seperately, my cars all cheap. Combine the insurance on a 71 Road runner, 96 Jeep, 96 VW, 75 Motorcycle, and a 88 mazda Rx7. Thats why I only insure 2 at a time

I would much rather have a vehicle to suit my mood than a single vehicle I have to baby.

And yes, I work hard for my OWN toys. Took a loan on one car before, Ill never do that again.

For the record, I have two years of on time car payments on my credit score and was just denied a Kohls credit card. Never made a bad credit decision, I pay with cash always. I dont want to hear how anyone under 20 has good enough credit to buy a new car in their own name. Or I might vomit.

[Kerplunk105]

Drug money.

[ozthunder]

Dude, I have a GTO. I got it b/c I found it at a steal..I traded in a 350Z since I just could not afford it. 399$ a month for a POS? Forget that!

[zerioustt]

yeah, it probably will. I don't know, I'm glad on one hand that my parents never did buy me any sweet cars. They gave me a volvo 240 dl with an auto trans lol. That's why I bought the jetta.
It does kinda suck living in my area though because holland/newtown/richboro is so full of kids driving m3s, sti's, evos, etc.. it sucks having a slower car than someone who didn't pay a dime for their whip. But w/e. I've been working full time since I was 17, while juggaling school, now I'm 19 and eventually I'll see the fruits of my labor...

you cant fault kids for having parents that are well off and buy their children a car. im sure every kid would have the car they want if their parents can afford it. i for one dont care as long as theyre not douchebuckets about it.
