Re: Who bought your 1st Car?

Actually my first car was a hand-me-down from my grandmother. 1973 dodge Dart! Chat Icon Unfortunately it was stolen after only 2 weeks of me getting it.

I saved for the next few years and bought a '93 chevy cavalier. Loved that car....had it for 10 years....

Re: Who bought your 1st Car?

Me... and ten years later I'm still driving it! I would love something new, but might as well drive it into the ground now that it's paid off. it's nice not having a car payment.

Me. I was 18 and it was 1992 Plymouth Sundance.

I actually used some $$$ from lawsuit that I had when I was a teenager, but I paid the insurance and gas myself.

2 years later I sold it, made my money back and put that on a Jeep Cherokee that I leased, then got a Liberty in 2003 which I have had since then (and now ownChat Icon )

My parents gave me $500 and I spent $1000. I bought my mom's old mazda 323 hatchback... aka, a tuna can on wheels.

Re: Who bought your 1st Car?

I did. A 1980 Cutlass Supreme Brougham. 2 door. I got into a fender bender a week later. Thank god it was an old car.

My parents bought my second car b/c my first one died during finals and I needed a car. My parents had never bought any of my siblings a car before. The sad think was I totaled that car 2 months later. I got hit by a bus and walked out with not a scratch. Used the money from that accident to buy another car.

My parents bought me my first while in high school, an 87' Chrysler LeBaron Coupe. They also bought me two more cars after that (used, but still very generous of them.)

I've never actually purchased a car in my life. DH has purchased all the others.

Re: Who bought your 1st Car?

my parents, we owned a car dealership but they didn't believe in kids getting brand new cars so I learned to drive in a 1979 Monte Carlo that was two tone, dark $hit brown & light $hit brown. It was over 10 years old when I got it.
Later on my stepdad let me trade up to a camaro berlinetta. Then when I graduated high school I got a Firebird Formula 350.
After that I was on my own.

Re: Who bought your 1st Car?

My Dad wanted to buy my first car - and who was I to argue??? He said I could have SOME input - so I told him I wanted something RED and 2 Door and SMALL (something like that). I figured he'd HAVE to get me a sporty little job, right? Yeah. No. I wound up with a Maroon VW Golf.

But I loved that little car.Chat Icon

Re: Who bought your 1st Car?

I did. I bought an 83 LeBaron from my sister for $150. She bought it from my grandparents for $150 a few years before. When my brother got his license, we decided to share it, so he gave me $75....and it broke down for good like a month later.
The car got around!Chat Icon

Re: Who bought your 1st Car?

My very 1st car was bought by my parents about 10 years before they gave it to me. It was a 1987 Oldsmobile that my dad used as an alternate car before handing it off to my sister, and then to me. The next car I got at an auction that my dad layed out and I paid back. My first "retail" car (new) was bought 100% by me.

Re: Who bought your 1st Car?

I put a big down payment on my first car, and then had another 5 years of payments. But I paid it all!! Very proud of that!

Re: Who bought your 1st Car?

I lucked out though I got one that needed a little love and care and my dad did all the work for me at cost. He is a very skilled mechanic. To this day I still miss it.
