[rjattack19]

mine is a 95' ranger, used, $1000


oh and any pics would be great

[camthraxFHK]

mine is a 1995 Nissan Altima, used, $4000. I still have it and I love her to death.

[rjattack19]

oh and i will also add that u have to state how u obtained the car

[Formerlaxdemon]

My first car was a 1990 Honda Civic hatchback that I inherited from my father. I drove that thing to death.

[bouncer]

1989 chevrolet S10. I bought it for $900 from a guy i did masonry work for.

[FPDefense]

Is that brand new?, wow you spoiled child....

he said it was a 94 so i doubt it. mercadies(sp?) last forever. hence why im getting an 88.

[Mavido]

Mercedes-Benz

Oh and its got 157,000 miles on it... i've put about 12,000 of those on there.

[_lax4life_]

Ok, so the 94 didnt tip you off.. not its not brand new at all. its 12 years old..

lol, didn't notice, anyways, you're still lucky. How much did they pay for it?

[Mavido]

lol, didn't notice, anyways, you're still lucky. How much did they pay for it?
Uh, we actually got really really lucky... we got it for $6,999... when they ment to advertise it at $9,999.... and they had to sell it at that price... other wise it would have been false advertising and we would have sued and easily won a bit more then the car is worth... so you know... right place and the right time kinda deal.

[FPDefense]

Mercedes-Benz

Oh and its got 157,000 miles on it... i've put about 12,000 of those on there.

thanks i can never figure out how to spell it, mines got like 240-260 thousand. But we need to change the gas tank and fix the guage. The yellow light is one but the dial says its full constantly.

[gigo567]

I have a Nissan 350Z *cough*made by hotwheels*cough*

[JedimasterKyle]

I have an 1994 Toyota Corolla. I inherited it from my dad. It runs good and looks good for its age, but its not quite up to racing standards. It goes fast if you get it moving, but the acceleration is a bit slow. I'm just glad I have a car to drive though.

[Lurch22d]

heh i have a 1998 saturn...i personally hate it...we got it for like 1-2 thousand im not sure how much my parents bought it for me from this guy that goes to car shows....i hurt it :P (cracked windsheild, broken tail light, etc, etc) i broke the tail light with a lacrosse ball...that'll teach you not to try to throw a ball across a parking lot into ur trunk(even if u were succesful the first time)

[rjattack19]

Not exactly my car since its under mothers name but... 1997 GMC Jimmy... And if the first sentence didnt give it away my parents bought it for me...

lol my friend has that same car.....except he was driving on the highway and the whole rear axel fell off...u may want to get that tightend(sp?) lol

I drive a 1997 Toyota Rav4...it's CRAP...
My mom bought it brand new...9 years ago next month
She drove it for a while...my brother had it for a year...my sister had it for 2...I have had it for about a year and a half..
yeah... AWESOME...but atleast it runs right?

[LaxCrazy17]

a 1999 or 2000 Hondai Sonata, light purple with spinners, my dad added those, their sooooooooo fake but its still freakin aawesome!!!!!!!!!!

[roycegracie47]

First car was a 79 Mercedes Turbo Diesel owned originally by my dad. Odometer broke somwhere after the 250,000 mark so I have no idea how much was on it when we finally sold it. Also the FM radio barely worked, and the the tape player was broken. It did have power windows and a manual sunroof. The starter plug took awhile to warmup in the winter, so did the heater. The drive to school in the winter was always a little chilly. But it was still an awesome car.

[SachemsGoalie40]

i drove my dads 97 f-150 for about 6 months because he had a company vehicle and then we bought a 1989 Chrysler New Yorker, for $1,500 and it only had 45,000 miles on it when i got it and it now has 48,000. It was a steal for the condition, i'll post some pictures later, it has all leather interior and power everything, it is a grandma car....but i love it

[Despise Purity]

lol my friend has that same car.....except he was driving on the highway and the whole rear axel fell off...u may want to get that tightend(sp?) lol


lol, eh umm yeah I wouldnt want that happening to me. I am afraid of going above like 70-75 with it though. It starts to make weird noises and like shakes or something.

This might just be the fan belt (not sure not knowledgeable with cars) and it just makes this somewhat loud rattling noise when Im not moving. Other than that I have a awsome car... Great for four wheeling.

[SullyLax]

Good eye. I wanted to see if anyone picked up on it.

[JoshM]

A used 98ish mazda 626. I didn't pay for it.

[TheCanaidan]

well havnt gotten my first car yet but im in the market, guess i shoudl get my lincense soon too eh, but im looking at a 1991 MX-3, 1000$

[Laxordie24]

yyayy yayy i get my first car this week! i am excited! yayy

[nylax90]

i haven't got a car yet and probly won't be getting one for a while since i don't have a job and my parents won't buy me one

[Superman]

89 cadillac el dorado... it was sweet. it was in perfect shape (came up from florida) and it had nice white leather interior... it was a babe. and then i sold it because i needed the money.

[laxgirl45]

My first car that was actually all mine was a 2004 black Audi a4 3.0 . I still have it. I love that car to death... I'll try to get a pic up if I can find one.
How I obtained it...my dad got it for me, but I had to pay for a couple thousand. I think it was around 45 thousand.

[twin58]

Really. I know the car exactly.

The first car I drove extensively was a two-door '63 Falcon. I did not have title to it, so I can't claim to have bought it. It was my parents' car. Column-mounted three speed manual transmission, not synchronized back into first. Drum brakes all around. No radio. It had the 144 ci six-cylinder engine, as opposed to the 200 ci inline six-cylinder. Definitely not the 260 V-8.

It looked like this, but sky blue. (http://home.centurytel.net/fordfan/Falcon.htm)

When it was built, $3 would fill the tank.

I sold it for $76.

[truste1]

My first car/current car is a 99' Jeep Cherokee Limited. It was one of my Christmas Gifts, but I have to pay for gas...and that sucks since it's definitely not an economy car when it comes to gas; and I'm jobless. But I'm lucky that my parents are paying for the insurance....

[The Chariot]

HAD a '95 Camry, wrecked (NOT MY FAULT) was my brothers old car

NOW a '98 Maxima GLE (luxury line). Bought used. Its pretty thug.

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

my parents are basicaly letting me loan my car at the moment... it's a 98 mustang convertible, and i think they paid about 7000 for it used 4 years ago, and i get to give it back when i graduate from college in 3 years...

[greenturtle]

I am lucky because I get to choose from 3 cars just about. Either a fairly new buick(no idea what model it is), a 94 volvo 940, or an 89 volvo 240 station wagon with a fire engine red finish...so bad arse. The reason I have to many cars is because both my older bros live in the city so they don't need their cars and we inherited two cars from my cousin(the buick, and a 98 durango which is pretty bad arse too.)

[chslax29]

dont have mine yet but looking at hopefully a used mazda 6 sport or a subaru impreza wrx turbo both in manual even though i dont know how to drive stick but it should be fun to learn haha. If any ill have to pitch in a thousand or two but i doubt it. I also doubt im getting either of those cars casue my dad thinks they sound too fast hahha and he already knows i have a heavy foot so we'll see

[laxmcg55]

well providing that my rents hook me up with their car (i dont have any monney or a job cuz missing work for lax practice gets me fired) i might get a beautiful 1994 plymouth grand voyager
all the rims fell off
radio is busted
its rusted
its maroon with a red pin stripe
and my genius mom was trying to read a paper while driving so now the hood is bent up permanately

but hey what ever gets you from point a to point b right.........................guys

[smooth87]

A '98 Nissan Altima. Bought it for 2K. Actually I put $200 down and the rents paid the rest at first and now I'm paying them back.Might sound cheap but there was a death in the sellers family so they had to get rid of it. I bought it from some people that live on the road next to me, so one day as I was driving home from work I spotted it.

[Visirale]

1998 Cadillac Seville SLS
Every option possible.
My parents got it for me used.
$12k used
It was over 50 grand new.

God bless depreciation.

[JimmyDean]

next month ill have my 94 ford tarus wagon.. just in time for high school lax season to start

[HCrum05]

My first car was/is a red '93 GMC Jimmy. Tan leather interior, new pioneer speakers and cd player. It's had a few problems, which is expected with 177k miles, but it gets me where I need to go and does a good job in the process. Good if I need to go offroad too. Oh, and I paid for it, $4000.

[czechinthepipes]

my first car is a 94 honda civic

[laxman359]

93 mitsubishi eclipse 1.8 turbo put the front end in a brook right after a snow storm on a back road...totaled it by bending the rear axel trying to tow it out and other front end damage my cousin gave it to me

[viking goalie]

i got an 85 toyota supra, its in really nice condition and pretty fast. It was free from my grandpa. dontcha love family :grin:

[allergies]

92 volvo 240, things a tank.

[Levin]

i've got me a 1996 Mazda b2300 (if you don't know what it is... its basically a Ford Ranger... except with Mazda on it). Its only 2 wheel drive, but i got it for $3,000. My parents bought it for me, so i wouldn't have to use their cars (the only reason i have my license/truck is because i'm in so many activities)

[OldGoalie]

First car (1987) was a 1980 Honda Accord LX hatchback with a balky carburetor and poor brakes. My dad bought it off a co-worker for $1800. We eventually paid someone $150 to tow it away in 1990.

[UNCdefense]

that's right fellas that right there is a 1981 honda accord :crazy: ......thats not my exact one, mine has a bit of chipped paint on hood & roof, but other then that its sweet.....stick shift, gets high 20's-30 miels to the gallon....wanna know how much im paying for it???nothing! :agree: my friend is going in to the air force & he has another car he just needs a part for the motor that's been difficult to find so he bought this 81 Accord for 500$ w/ like 50,000 miles on it.....we're really good friends so i was gunna buy it off him when he left for a few 100(probably me paying like 1/2 parents paying 1/2(i just turned 16) but he said that he was just going to give it to me :agree:
most people would be like that things a piece, blah blah blah blah blah blah, but im just gunna be happy to have a car....my friend's parents just bought him a used cherokee(2000 i think) for 5000$, he payed 1,000 of it....it's cool that he payed but it's really nice & im just hoping he takes care of it because starting off w/ a nice car is sometimes under appreciated by many high schoolers

[MNM19]

mine was a 1997 GMC Sierra Pickup Truck. I bought it for a buck, from my dad. Im in Jersey

You have nothing to look forward to anymore.

This isn't a personal statement towards you, but I hate girls that get really luxurious or sporty cars for their first car. Why?

-They don't understand cars as well as guys do. Guys have a near sexual infatuation with cars. The sound, the speed, the leather, etc. For girls it's just "look at my Mercedes-Benz, I'm better than you."
-They probably whined and manipulated to get it
-They are spoiled
-No car will be better than your first car, once you move out and have to buy your own, it will be a crappy car like everybody else's first car

I would kill for a Mercedes-Benz, or a BMW. . . yeah it'd be cool to say I drive one, but they are such nice cars. Actually I'm more into the Dodge Charger with a hemi at the moment. For guys it is less of a status symbol, it is for girls. "My friend Jamie has a BMW, so I need one to be cool too."

I drive a '99 Saturn SL2, blue. Let me give you a rundown of my friends' cars, keep in mind I go to a preppy Catholic school:
-3 of my friends drive BMW 3 series'
-1 friend drives an Altima with 20's
-1 friend drives an Acura TSX
-2 of my friends drive BMW 5 series'
-2 friends drive Audi A4's
-1 friend drives a Lexus
-2 friends drive Infinity G35's
-2 friends drive black Mercedes C230 Kompressor's
-1 friend drives a Silver Dodge Ram with a hemi
-1 friend drives a VW Jetta
-1 friend drives a BMW X5
-1 friend had a BMW 3 series' totalled it, got an H2truck, while it was in the shop getting lifted, DVD screens, tints, huge tires, and chrome rims, he was driving a white Porsche Cayanne (sp?) Turbo.

So yeah, you can say I'm pretty stubborn and reasonable with my opinion.

[thecheese]

'98 geo metro. Got it from a pal who went to germany.

[zachm90]

I don't officially own it yet, but its gonna be a 1997 nissan frontier.

I am so glad I go to a public school. Sadly, my school's considered an upper-middle class, which is well off no doubt. But when I look at that list, god damn son.

Well, I’m sorry you feel that way. Maybe you should realize that many girls that drive nice cars have just as much respect for the sheer power and sound of the engine as guys do. I for one have spent a long time researching my car, comparing fuel economy, engine and horsepower, resale value and almost anything else you could think of. In no way did I manipulate or beg my parents for this car, nor am I an arrogant person looking to gain attention just for driving a BMW. This goes for almost all of my other girl AND guy friends that own Range Rovers, BMWs, Mercedes. In the end I was leaning towards Ford’s King Ranch F-150 because I ride horses as well, but my parents felt that the BMW would be safer and better suited for the local roads. Maybe you should rethink your “hatred” feeling towards girls with nice cars, because it seems like a rather ignorant statement. Of course there are girls, and guys as well, that will manipulate and whine until they are presented with what they want, but it’s not reasonable to assume all girls follow this pattern. As for the “no car will be better”, I do not believe that. Getting this as my first car will set a standard for the future. I will strive to maintain the same standards (vehicle wise as well as house etc.) that my parents have set for me. It’s an incentive to be hard-working in life so that one day I can provide my children with new cars.
I assume you attend Bishop Moore? That’s nice. The public school parking lot of Winter Park looks similar to that of your friends’ cars. I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove by listing the cars that your friends own.

[MeRattack]

i cant stand people w/ nice cars for their 1st car, usually you get a car when your 16 and have not fully mastered driving and have a greater chance of wreaking it, which would cost money to replace the broken parts and usually all the luxury cars are imported(which costs alot to get the parts), so dont use a car as a status symbol

What does it matter to you? You aren't paying for the repairs.

[MeRattack]

what a stupid reply and its my opinion, which im entitled too, and chances are i would have to pay for some, if not save up to pay for the repairs...so im guessing your first car was a ferrari and you just mooch off your parents for everything

Stupid reply? It was just my opinion too. For the most part, parents choose to buy their kids nice cars knowing that the parts would have to be imported if any accident were to occur. My first car is not a ferrari, although it would be nice. I don't "mooch" off my parents, I work as much as school allows me too.
