just wondering who worked 2 jobs and stuffed every penny under their mattress to get their car, and who just financed it. how much did you pay?

i saved up for mine. and it cost 8k for evrything but the engine, turbos ect... into it bout 20k by now.

 

My parents bought me a mustang GT in 98 with 50k miles for 7500. I resold it for 9 a few months later ( i put a few mods, and a system in it). Then bought a civic for 7000, put to much $ in it, resold it for 9800. Then my parents got me my FD, and I dunno how much insurance is, hehe dont pay it
I got it good I guess. Im grateful for the things i got though.

 

I sold my house in Silicon Valley (chaching!) and moved to Sacto to a cheaper one. I bought mine with the change.

 

money tree

 

Bank, next to the money tree

 

saved every paycheck for a whole year

 

Yup...The old fashioned way.....I saved up for it, and paid CASH.......

 

15G Cash. Saved a for a few months.

 

Bought it for 13k, put 7g's down on it. My parents got a home-equity loan for me so the interest is only 4 percent. I pay everything, including insurance.

The FD isn't what burns my cash...its the g/f

 

Last car got stolen and got ins check. After I paid off all my bills, blew alot of it, I ended up with about $3k towards new car. Saved for 2 1/2 months and put $10k down, credit union financed the rest.

 

Stock market. Initial investment: $450.00

 

Sold crack to the neighborhood kids. :

 

Agreed -- in the end, masturbation is more cost-efficient than dating, anyways.

"...that's just the way it is."

I paid for $5k on my own -- the rest I'm gonna get from selling my Tbird and working it off.

 

saved 8k in a year, financed the rest of the 14k at 7.13 percent interest for 4 years

 

Sold my Civic Type R

 

I got it from pimping your mom and sister around the hood.

Seriously now, working hard and saving.

 

Used a few Mutual Funds I had sitting around...

 

Financed it but paid for the mods and new engine with a credit card. $7K left on loan, $10K left on cards hehe.

 

I worked and saved for a year. Put 15k down on it, took out a loan for the rest (capital one investment).

 

Tax return...

 

Sold my '97 Integra for $9000, bought my non-running FD for the same in March. Put in another ehh...$2-3000 so far. Gonna drop another $500 soon for the ECU, man this hobby is expensive!

 

Daaaaamn -- that must have been one nice tax return.

 

pimped out my mom and sister. when I found out that it would take me about 12 and a half years to get the money that way. I went to the credit union and got a loan for 14k at 3.49%

That's not something I would admit to.
