Ah, I guess it's better for people like me because we will be buying it used from you for 3k in 10 years lol.


EDIT: Also looks like a sketchy place to be buying a car from if that's the car / place you are buying from ll.

I am an 18 year old who earned everything, i have worked my way up to this point and I am sure I have driven cars far more powerful than anything you have.

Just because I am a young adult that automatically means I will wreck a car? It's not like ill be racing in residential areas doing stupid shit like that. i am not by any means an immature driver I know when I can and can not mess around. I have handled cars such as 2015 mustang 5.0, nissan gtr r35, 2013 supercharged mustang gt/cs. I am a rather experienced driver and have no intentions on wrecking a car I have worked long and hard to get.

I'm 17, I bought my truck outright for 5k when I was 15 and have put another 10k into it after that, I owe no body. Beings that I don't drive cars, it would be a safe bet that you have driven more powerful cars than I have. If you want to go into vehicle power, I bet my truck has more power than that car. I have no problem doing a vehicle tug of war with you lol.

This aint a pissing match of who has driven more powerful vehicles or who worked for what, this is simply a thread of a kid making a mistake. But people have to buy new cars so others can buy used cars.

I hope all goes well for OP, but I don't see where it will unless you really don't drive at all.

this car will be my final car buy, the only damage it will receive is idiotic drivers. I don't drive trucks so I don't need that kind of torque nor would it be any use of me. I am literally only getting the car to 400hp and im happy theres. its my choice and it will be MY car, ill maybe trade up in the future for another genesis coupe and nothing else

Well, please keep up on the maintenance and keep it in good condition because I may be the guy buying it for 3k in 10 years.

You better believe it'll be in good condition if it's in my hands. I treat my cars extremely well and they gotta be looking good and shiny for the meets. I doubt i'll get rid of this car for a long long time

Maybe he actually takes care of the car. Not every kid you imagine will wreck there car within months of driving.He saved up his money and is just trying to treat himself nothing wrong with that.

No one thinks they are going to get in a wreck. I remember when I first got my licence I went to a job and I was there for about an hour, this ladys driveway is small so I had to park right behind her. The way she gets in her car you HAVE to see my truck, but I guess somehow she didn't and ramed into the back of my truck. Then a few months later (after I got a new bumper) I was pulling out of a parking spot, someone was coming so I stopped but I guess the little car behind me didn't see me stop and rear ended me. Where either of these my fault? No. Did I still have to replace a bumper twice? Yes.

There is nothing wrong with buying a new car, it's just not a very smart thing to do, especially when you are new to driving. From the fact that it depreciates in value right off the lot to the fact that insurance will be high.

We have already seen, my insurance will actually go down for it being a newer car and I have been driving for a very long time, my family taught me stick when I was 14 and would always ride around in parking lots. I have gotten to a point where I feel I am ready for a better more powerful car I can be proud of and work on.
