starting my own business soon.

What you getting into? Tough time to start a biz.

<---rf/dsp guy here

Due to i dont see my age there i was 18 for my 370z nismo. Im 20 now

It definitely is a risky time to start a business, but with some decent planning it can definitely work. especially with commercial real estate being this cheap right now. I will be importing goods from overseas, retail/distribution sales over here.

Do you go to LA Fitness in Wellington sometimes?

I bought my 370 just after turning 21 and I bought my GT-R at 23. I'm now 24 and won't be purchasing any cars for a while lol.

I dont mean to offend you by asking this, but how did you manage to afford a 80k car at 23?

No offense taken, you should hear the things people say/ask at red lights and gas pumps. I consider myself one of the lucky few who landed a good job after college. I build helicopters for different military's around the world. Right now I am building one for the Canadian military that is the first ever fly by wire helicopter(All flight controls are controlled electronically). We just now starting on the actual production birds. My first purchase after the job was a home, and since I'm young and single I had a couple good friends move in who I charge a set amount for rent. This allows me to save a pretty descent amount each month. So bewteen having a good career, saving, and roommates helping out on the bills, I am able to afford some nice things. I ended up buying a used GT-R though cause even with the job and bill help I would struggle to pay for a 85k GT-R.

ahh got it, im pretty much in the same boat (without a high paying job lol). i make a decent living and was able to afford a down payment on a house last year. I rented 2 rooms out to friends and that took a lot of weight off my shoulders. Although I do kind of regret buying a house so soon, i've got this really confined feeling. I can never lose my job or quit now cause i'll end up losing my house. I shouldve followed my childhood dreams of becoming a fulltime bum and squatter =/.

what was your major? BS, MS, PHD?
That sounds like an amazing job.

Thanks, it's definitely amazing! I get to be part of some really cool/interesting things. I actually only have an associates degree in applied science but seeing as my company offers full funding for school, and stock in the company once you graduate, I will be going back. I am very fortunate to have my job and will always do everything in my power to keep it.

29... almost 30. Electrician for a water district in North Idaho. Saved up for a year to put 10k down and keep my payments at 400 a month. Not trading in my old car as I still need something to drive when the snow flys :tup:

Billy is a baller.:bowrofl:

Haha, I'm just trying to fit into the south Florida lifestyle!

You are doing a great job. Enjoy that GTR!

I know that feeling =/ I actually just wanted to rent an apartment or a tiny home till i at least had the Z paid off but things changed and the market was good so i bought.

I miss the South Florida Lifestyle! :happydance:

Bought @ 19
Insurance through allstate is $245/month for my 3KGT and 370.

I bought my 370 earlier this year in May. I was 19 then and am now 20. Might as well explain how I bought it. I was home schooled and have been
Working part time since 15 and full time since 16 until now. I haven't had more than 5 days off work since 15. At one point right around 18 I had 3 jobs: server at an assisted living community @ $9/hr 40hrs/wk, Photographer shooting school ID's and yearbook photos @ $15/hr 15ish hrs/wk, and Valet on the weekends making $12 minimum for about 16hrs/wk. Currently working just Valet making 40k+ 40-48hrs/wk. I walk to work which is also a HUGE help. Living with my girlfriend splitting bills. As for parents help my mom paid half of my first car, my 3KGT, and I haven't seen my dad since I was 8 years old. Saved up these past 4 years and payed cash for the Z @ 32.5k OTD

thats awesome!

I know the value of houses in the US in these couple years has been dropping like crazy, but it is always good to be able to afford a house.

A house will keep its value, the market might goes up & down a bit, but eventually its value is still there. By contrast, a regular production car will only lose its value.

A bank will lend you loan if you have a house, but they won't lend you anything even if you have a Ferrari.

It might sounds like a burden to your shoulders, but it is a very good asset.

Personally, I respect you made a wise choice of buying a house.

cheers!!

I bought a Z06 instead of a house. Since I plan on moving in less than a year, I think it was a good choice for sure. Offloading the Z06 and getting a 370Z as soon as the new 2012's arrive the way I want them here in the US.

Yes, the bank will extend me a loan even without a house, apparently.

bought mine at 22, not married no kids, 3 tickets and im thinking about selling a kidney to pay for my insurance for the year...

I was 26 when I bought it in august 2010

25. Paid off a year after I bought car and now I'm poor as dirt

22 when I got my 350Z...sold it when I bought my house at 25 (thought I needed an SUV)...then reverted back at 27 with the Nismo!

I love living with no money! Lol j/k just find it so easy to spend it all.......

Bought my first z, 1990 JDM z32 TT at 19. Bought my house the next summer at 20. Sold the 300zx in June of 2010 (owned it for almost 4 years) after I bought my 370 no longer wanted to deal with 20 year old problems lol.

Bought my 40th anniversary in may of 2010 brand new at 23 (turned 24 that August)

Sounds like a good upgrade!

28 when i bought my Z back in august of 2011, one of the few Z's to come off the line after the tsunami and am very grateful to those nissan factory workers that took the time to build it after what happened. Since every other post has insurance info i'll just say it, 128/month with e-surance which is now part of allstate lol.

Man you guys are rich. How are you able to buy houses so young?

I was 22....am 22, bought the car as a graduation present for myself in May after I got a job as an engineering consultant. Maybe not the smartest thing to do, but hey, I have no one else to worry about but myself and it makes me happy.

21 when I bought my 350. Dont have a 370 :(

Money management and priorities are key here. I used to work with a guy who made 48k a year but had 5 kids and a wife who did not work. He had a house in a decent part of town and a car note on a newer SUV. He survived just fine due to his money management, which was awesome imo lol.

Some of the younger guys may be able to afford the 370 because thats what younger guys care about. The older guys here have families, school for kids, and other things they have to prioritize where as some younger guys spend most of their money on their car. The only thing that makes me mad about younger guys with nice cars (im talking about a portion, not as a whole) is that they tend to act like they are better than others with a lesser car. The younger guys in my area with nice cars talk so much smack because their car is worth so much more, is faster, etc. Thats fine but dont go treading on someone just because they arent as fortunate as you, or dont really car about whos car is faster or worth more. Like I said earlier im not talking about all younger people. There are exceptions.

25 when I bought my Z last summer.
I look about 18 (have to give DNA just to buy alcohol) so I get the "spoiled rich kid" comments a lot.
