When I was 16, I drove my fathers old beater car (in 1996) it was an
88 Dodge Omni ...
After about 6 months with that car, (and working 30+ hours per week) I had saved enough dough to buy my own crappy car. I friend of the family wanted to get rid of her crappy 1991 ford asscort. IT was a real pile of junk, but I paid only 1500 and it ran decent for 2+ years.
After the ford's transmission died, was rebuilt, died again and was rebuilt under the warranty from the first time it was rebuilt, and then died again after the warranty was over, I sold it to a junker for $50 cash.
In 1999 I bought a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am v6 for $3500 from my aunt (this was $500 more than the dealer would have given her for it as a trade in).
I kept that car for several years ...
In May of 2002 I bought my current car, a Black 1999 Chrysler 300M (costed me about $17000 after paying extra to extend the warranty. It had only 27000 miles at the time and was in mint condition aside from a scratch on the hood)
I still Have the 300M and plan on keeping it for probably 3 to 5 more years, unless I have a sudden large rise in income, however, given a sudden large rise in income, a house/townhouse closer to work will be my next big ticket purchase (though I am pretty happy with the townhouse I have now)
