I put down 15k and my mom paid the rest, and pays insurance. I don't know how you guys make car payments and pay for insurance, tires, gas etc. If I had to pay for those I would have gotten a civic hybrid.

I'm 22 and I leased my car. Paying about $400 a month for my payments and $200 for insurance. I work full time so this is all very possible, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford it.

Only in your eyes. If I may ask, what is it that you do to pull $10k monthly?

A 15k down payment gets some respect in my book.

i disagree with alot of the people saying you wont be able to afford it...
theres a couple HUGE things thatll basically make it one way or the other...
if your under your parents insurance the insurance wont be THAT much and im sure you could easily afford.
Also if you live with your parents and dont have to pay rent id presume most anyone could afford a used s2k...

my monthly payment $316

insurance $100 per month.


just dont get giant wheels my 19" tires cost like 175 a piece

Perhaps instead of calling people 'spoiled little bitches' and inflating your commission for internet bragging rights, you might want to start looking for another job.

Your market is about to collapse, chief.
