got my AP1 a couple months ago when I was 24. 25 now. Came from a 96 Civic and loving it. Paid cash now just need to save up again for hardtop, wheels, and exhaust.

 

MY06 - 19 years old
MY01 - 20 years old
MY02 - 21 years old

All in GPW and paid in full.

 

The thread makes me sad.

 

20 years old here got my ap1 when I was 19, paid cash, best decision of my young life

 

bought my s2000 at 18. Leased my GTI at 21. Bought my 1M at 22. Will have my next toy soon, still 22 though.

Work hard while in school young ones

 

first the early year s2000s are cheap as hell. You can find some great deals out there.

I bought my s2000 at 18. But i worked full time for my junior and senior year in college doing mortgages (industry has died now). Back than it was an easy cash cow. Im still only 22 and have more than most kids my age. But i started my first business my sophomore year of college. If you work hard enough it's not hard to have a couple of toys, especially when you don't have a family to support.

 

Wow that sucks. I'm 22 with a couple of tickets and i pay $3600/year for 3 cars. Full coverage $250/$500 deductibles (Comp./Coll.)

 

Started out with a 2002 Acura RSX base automatic that I paid for at 16 in cash. Three years later and $15,500 in cash at 19 in the summer of 2011 I purchased my one owner, MY00 with 22,000 miles on it! Have been relishing in accomplishment ever since.

In order to dream, you have to believe.

 

What do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking? You seem to be doing very well for yourself. Awwwww hard work feels great when you can appreciate what it has brought you huh. 1M FTW!

 

I bought my s2000 while being a mortgage broker @ 18 in my senior year of HS. That industry totally died though. But i made sure to save 90% of my income. It is why i am at where i am today. I invested all of that money into a import/export business that i started my sophomore year. Worked 40-50 hours while going to school full time. I still have that import/export business. I had a Verizon Wireless store for a year. Also own a tattoo/piercing place in Manhattan. And right now am working on another venture related to cars that hopefully all of you guys will hear about in the next 6 months to 1 year.

Don't get me wrong working 40+ hours while in college did hurt my gpa (3.5), But that work helped me build my future. Even though i do spend a good amount i still save over 50% of my income. I don't let me income dictate my spending. I spend what i "need" + a few toys. But being a business owner requires you to save money. I save my $ not for retirement but for business expansion and to buy/start other businesses. I don't plan on retiring until death lol. I could retire around 35 the way I'm going right now but starting businesses is like a hobby/obsession more than a career. One that i hope I'm doing forever.
