my condo in sausalito was 380k+ and is only 850 sq ft...

but hey... location, location, location, right?

 

I took delivery of mine when I was 22 years old and wrote out my own check for it. I'm now 23.

I definitely want to know what kinds of jobs you 'kids' have to be able to afford these cars at the age of 16-18 years.

 

25 Here, I just got my car this year... but wanted the S since I was 22...

 

Well I got a job at BK when I turned 15 and was getting plenty of overtime every week (yes that is illegal). After a couple months of busting my ass, they made me shift coordinator. I know that isn't all that impressive, but they were giving me plenty of hours so I was happy. All of the money I was making was going into a mutual fund which I got a bit lucky with. It went up significantly. When I turned 16 I quit BK and started working for my dad. He owns a flooring company and I do all of his State Farm work. When all was said and done, I had come up with around 50K. I got an s2000, a prelude, and put 10k into a small share of land that my parents were buying in Punta Gorda. I consider that a huge favor from them because they got an amazing deal on it. Over time I am supposed to be getting 30-40K out of it. I am hoping to put a down payment on a small house and rent it out, but who knows. Well that is my story. Have a nice day.

We're all young S2000 owners

 

COUNT me in north texa suzuka, bought when 19, i'm almost 20. I've almost got the car paid off

 

Eric, that is amazing! It's awesome to see that you worked really hard for your money and you had the smarts to invest it first before immediately buying a car. And investing the rest of the money in land after buying your cars...even smarter. I bought a house last year and have already seen the value increase $35k since then. I haven't even done any remodeling or what not. Amazing...!

 

i was 18 when i bought, father had to co sign, but thats it. paid all by me im 20 now btw

 

More upsidedown logoic from down under, Muz?

 

I am currently working at a place called ConvExx (set up SEMA, IAS, and other conventions). I am the mailroom clerk/ runner and get paid $10 per hour. About 75 % of my money goes towards paying for my car. The other 25% goes to gas and mods for my car! I will be starting a business soon which hopefully will help me make some more money. Btw, pay for the S myself.
