First new car paid by ME - Page 3

mike c · 02-25-2008, 10:17 AM

I'm 27 and I owned a 2002 S2000 that had 25K miles on it. I only owed $7K on it. I needed a back seat for my newborn son, so got rid of the S(regretfully) towards the Si. Now I owe $10K on it and chose to have that payment, as I can pay it off but I have been making more on that $10K investing it than paying the car off.
I also have a $150K mortgage.

I work a real job 40+ hours a week dealing with scum of society.

Goood lord man... 150k mortgage? I hope thats either a really nice job or that price is per/year... otherwise you better live in a Donald Trump style house bro...

civicsteph · 02-25-2008, 10:43 AM

I'm 24 and i pay for my own car but I bought my own car before I bought my civic as well and I was 19 and it was brand new as well.

Huh? 150K isn't that large of a mortgage.

SRT4toCivicSi · 02-25-2008, 01:17 PM

^^^ what I meant was is that 150k per year, or is it the total price of his house. 150k for a house is pretty good yes.

jjanders · 02-25-2008, 01:25 PM

Oh. Well when most people talk about their mortgage, it is the total, not the yearly cost.

Im going to Johnson and Wales next year to study Culinary arts.

Good school...I graduated from C.I.A. Have you looked into C.I.A.? I'm not your typical CIA grad that thinks my shit dun stink like a lot of the grads are, it was a good experience little expensive but I feel it was worth it.

edrhee83 · 02-25-2008, 02:35 PM

I was 23 when I bought my Si all myself. Love the feeling of owning your very own car.

Midwinter · 02-25-2008, 02:49 PM

22
2007 LX Coupe
450 a month
160 insurance

No one wanted to help me (co-sign) so i bought it on my own. I'm glad i did, but, at the same time i wanted that si, man...

Yea yea..I looked at it, but it just seems a little much for me. Im going to the campus in Charlotte NC and its nice and chill and if I remember C.I.A. is in new york? I also am looking to move south, I have had ENOUGH of this weather. Once I graduate though, I plan on going on the disney cruisline. Im a neat freak and I hear thats how it has to be on a cruise line, otherwise ALOT of people would get sick. Thats right up my ally. Where do you work? Any tips for when im there??
thanks in advance!

All I can suggest is soak up and learn whatever you can from your teachers and fellow students. I am sure your teachers will appreciate a clean student, I hate slobs as well. I work as a Chef de Cuisine at a retirement community here in NJ. The restaurant life is not for me I def prefer the food service part of the culinary world. Less stressful and better hours IMO. I am getting ready to get a job working as a chef/manager for Sodexo in the near future. Best of luck man and remember there is allways going to be that person who thinks they know everything about cooking and can't be told otherwise, ignore those assholes...

I'm 20 and have paid for a 2006 Civic Lx and 2007 Civic Si all on my own. I also pay for my insurance all on my own.

rotor_powerd · 02-25-2008, 09:54 PM

I'm 18, graduating high school in June.

Getting ready to purchase a brand new Si, that I will be paying for, as well as gas, maintenance, insurance, etc. Insurance is on my parents policy, but I will be giving them however much money it costs. Going to need them to cosign too, as I have no credit established yet. I'm working 2 part time jobs and going to school everyday to afford this.... once summer comes I'm going to try and get a full time job (Hopefully as a computer technician or similar... that's one of my jobs now, and would pay pretty well), and I'm going to school 3 nights a week in the fall for computer network systems.

John63850 · 02-25-2008, 10:00 PM

Bought my si they day i turned 17. Started saving when i was 16 and i put 9500 down.
My payments are 295 a month and my insurance is 315 for 8 months.

808FA5 · 02-26-2008, 01:18 AM

i am 19 and bought my FA5 a month ago. Dad had to co sign. I pay for my car and Insurance, which is under my name.

***CivicEX08*** · 02-26-2008, 01:25 AM

I put $8000 down on a new 2008 Civic EX Coupe w/ Navigation on January 15th. I had a 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier that I paid off ($10,000) by myself so my credit was in good shape. However, my dad co-signed on this Civic but every expense is being paid by me. I'm paying $328 a month at the moment at 6.94% interest. I'm getting it refinanced at at 5.75% at a Credit Union.:)

Congratulations on the new car.
