N/A 370z

Holy · 12-18-2013, 01:44 PM

Just because someone is young and has a nice car doesn't mean their parent's bought it for them. I busted my *** to afford my 370z at my current age of 19. I bought myself a Camry (7k down, finance 7k) when I was 18. I saved up for a couple years for that 7k down payment.

After purchasing my first car I saved up all my money that I earned (50hours a week at work and being a full time student was ridiculous to say the least) and in 8months I completely paid off the Camry. After paying off my Camry I used it as a down payment for my 370, currently my payments are $200 a month and my insurance is $200 fully covered.

I'm privileged enough where the only bills I have in my life are for my car. I have a full scholarship at school and I'm still at my parents house, though I'm now saving up some money to rent out a place with a couple friends later next year.

You are not giving your parents credit where credit is due. The only reason you were able to save that money is because you are living rent free in your parents place. An expensive vehicle should make its way into your life when you have reasonably established yourself and are able to live independently of others.

I agree (hence why I said that I was privelaged in my previous post) , my parents deserve a huge amout of credit. I have no bills to pay so it gives me the opportunity to save up money.

I've told my parents and my friends that the purchase of my car is one of the most irresponsible things I could do, I completely understand that. My parents tried stopping me but the only person that could stop my ignorance was myself. At the end of the day I feel like I'm living a dream when I drive my car, I couldn't be any happier.

I can sincerely say that I never anticipated such an honest post from you but I am impressed to say the least. You sound very mature and wise for your age. I hope the future continues to treat you well and be safe out there :-)
