I was blessed and got mine at 18. I'm 21 now. I put up half and parents helped with the other half.

The car wasn't that expense, cost of a new Honda back then.

got mine at 30

what baffles me is how the hell are the 18yrs and younger getting this car and saying that they are paying it off themselves or paid with their own money.

that must be some paper route or crack sprinkles in the lemonade stands

well these days young people can make money more easily than before.... there are so many more opportunities... such as with the internet... like before the .com crash... there were many millionaire 18-21 year olds who dropped out of college... I have some friends who are 17-18 who make 3k profit a month selling stuff on e-bay in their free time.

Default Is 250 Awd

Being a 'first Lexus' thread, I will post my 'first reply' here. I just signed my lease and the car is on its way, and into my arms! Recently graduated (this past May) and finally started working full time at 22 years young. As a senior in HS, I had a '90 Toyota Camry. Got rid of that and picked up a '92 Toyota Celica GT during my sophomore year in college. Both cars with no A/C! Now it's time to finally balllllll out, and keep my shirt dry in the summer!

Buying my first one now, I'm 24...but my current car is similar in price (purchsaed almost 3 years ago)...I just can't afford a daily driven track car, so I'll be buying something older as a project and daily driving the IS...
