I think the question should be for those who are attending University's students full time, live on campus, not working, yet are able to afford some very nice cars..or the ones that are fresh out of high school with no job but has a $25k car . I can name a few friends that attend University's full time, never worked a day in there lives, huge credit card bill every month that is miraculously paid off, & has a expensive car. Lets just say they have nice parents
Well you hit that nail on the head, Im 21 and a full time student in Accounting at Auburn University, graduate in two years. Naturally I cannot work a full time job and be a full time student. Im sure there are some people that choose to do that, I dont. But yes I have wonderful parents who pay for a great education, and a great car And the credit card thing is great to!

i hate it when people assume that if you are young and are able to afford a 25k car you are automatically a spoiled brat whose mom or dad paid for it... If you work your *** off and you'll be able to afford nice things, simple as that.
Im 25, Isf which I bought used to save $$

Nobody's assuming that.

That being said, a lot of it is probably demographics, now that I think about it. IE some parts of the world are more saturated with Civics/Cavaliers/Corollas than C250s/IS250s/3-series just based on cost of living and the economic status of the country or whatever. Newer luxury cars are usually driven by older folks who are "well-off" around here. Thinking about it now, I noticed that a lot of the ISX50s owned by the younger generation live in California and its surrounding areas.

Anyway, sorry to derail the thread. Carry on

Nobody is assuming that. My sister is 26 years old and making $120k base salary per year + 30k+ in overtime. Nursing can make quite a bit of money even with only 3 years working experience. Some of the nursing she work with are making 200k+ including overtime, which is more than most standard doctors. She is around your age with probably less working experience, so I have no doubt you could be making as much or more.

I'll jump in on this one.

Got my wife a 2010 IS250 yesterday and I have my 2011 G37s for me. Powerplay one day, cruise and smooth the next.
