That is awesome for you, im glad to hear someone young paid for a luxury car themselves, but I find it hard to believe most of the people under 20 bought there Lexus themselves...its hard to get a job making good money when your that young with no degree yet...if they did do that great, thats way better than where I was at 17ish yrs old....

I'm 22, male and I just graduated from UW. I just financed my first car, a 2008 IS250 AWD. Not a single penny from the parents since my first job at the age of 14

Sounds like everyone treated themselves to the car for some reason.

I bought the car after I broke up with my gf lol. So how much does it cost to get over a girl? $43k lol

settle... no reason to assume nor name call. Im sure if you were offered a lexus at age 16 you would take it. It was the parents discretion to buy it and im afraid you are in no position to insult that.

I can give my opinion when I feel like it...any parent is an idiot if they buy their kid a newer luxury car for their first car. PERIOD. The kid is not in the wrong the parent is...
