What was your first car, Veeky Forums? And did daddy buy it for you, or did you earn the money to pay for it yourself?

Bought from my uncle for $3000, still have it to this day

What the fuck
Is that a SLP or a Firehawk?

This is going to be one of those "spoiled brats didn't earn X" threads where poorfags get jealous and unreasonably mad, isn't it?

25th anniversary Trans Am

For $3? Lucky fucker, you're uncle was a total bro

How many miles? Manual?

My parents gave me A 1998 Ford explorer that they bought a month before I was born.
The first car that actually had my name on the title is a 1995 mustang
>Tfw you're the reason your parents sold their Miata

Fist car my mother matched what I saved to buy it and it was her's until I payed the other half
Second car I bought myself

It has 145k, sadly not manual. I put in a B&M ratchet shifter to make it a little more fun, would still want it in manual though

Very nice and still a good price, glad your uncle wasn't a dick about it

'13 Focus. Mommy bought it for me

'90 Cressida.

still have it, it was fun to drive. 120k miles on it but sadly some fucking kid ran out on the road and I wrecked it into a curb. oil pan is fucked up and front wheel is disconnected from the axis. Now driving a 2005 accord and I fucking hate it

1986 5.0 Mustang. Man, I thought I was cool.

Paid for it when I was 15 with money I earned at my ranch.

1992 Acura Integra RS with the 1.8L DOHC 5SP Manual.

The dealer tricked it out when it was originally sold with a non factory moon roof and cruise. Neither worked reliably.

I bought the car myself and loved it for seven years. It was hit by a California woman in a Tahoe while parked at a store. She tried to drive away but had the front left wheel fall off after plowing into my car.

Clean the valve body and flush the tranny fluid good, fgt

06 Chevy Cobalt LT, It was my grandpas beater car. He mostly rode his motorcycle till he died, had been neglected for 2 years and stolen once, driven to Colorado where it broke down. Towed back to Texas then I managed to get it back to full working condition before I drove it in to a ravine.

this beautiful bitch.

650 bones of my freshly sold dirtbike money
underhood fire killed it at 197k.

A truck and yes my father helped me pay for half of it because he wasn't a hate filled alcoholic loser :^)

Thank you anonbro

A shitty '91 Fiesta, which I bought for 150$. I drove it once, then sold it for 200$.

1992 Chevy Lumina Euro

Grand patents gave me $1000 for a car, and I used $1500. Around $2300 altogether. Had about 80k on it.

97 e36, my current car
Needed a car for work, so borrowed 400 from the ol man, paid 1000 of my own buckaroos and paid him back 100 a week till the end of the month. Ez pz

$500 92 blazer s10 4.3V. Fun ass truck that was the perfect size. Jumping it, banging it off the limiter hundreds of times a day, multiple burnouts a day, shit was cash.

2005 vz sv6 commodore.
my dad got it on a loan for me in my name without my permission. what a top bloke.

Just got it a few weeks ago. Got it super cheap off craigslist cause $60,000 college debt. Its shit, but gets me to work and I get to practice with manual. Beats the hellout if the scion XB's all my friends are getting too.

$900 CraigsList special, bought it 100% myself and pay for all of the shit for it myself.

primer grey 71 chevelle 396 2bbl with a broken transmission for $400

First car is a 1999 nissan pathfinder. Had it given to me after I graduated highschool as i lived too far out to walk to a job in hs. I Plan on driving it until it dies.

'99 Camaro Z28.
Bought it myself. Had a small loan for taxes and registration, which I paid back.

1999 Ford F150 Lariat Package

Only paid my year savings on it from my job at 17. Had it for 4 years until I let my sister in law drive it to use the bed to haul something (a small load of groceries). Having never driven anything bigger than a Corolla in her life, she completely demolished my truck by hitting colliding into other people infront of her since she cant see over the hood for being short as shit.

rich cuck

Golf Mk3 Bon Jovi for 800 bucks with a broken starter and rusty front panel, easy replaced

Me too, I had the sedan. Paid five hundred smackaroos for it

"Slipping" isn't the best way to put it. 1st gear is fucked so it slams into second with a fury. No one is going to buy it.

03 malibu. Bought it after working 30 hours a week during high school

some poorfag would.

1978 Firebird. Bought it myself with no idea of how car buying worked. Got scammed.

>father gave me a $200 1962 ford falcon that didnt run and was missing panels
>traded to a guy for 1986 mustang with 3.8 that didnt run, spent $300 got it running
>traded to a 1979 f150 4wd with no bed

'86 Ford Tempo coupe Sport (yes, they made "sport" Tempos). It was actually a decent car. I think my parents might have put a little down payment on it but I made the monthlies.

Got a wrecked Crown vic for $400, they paid for it but I had to do the repairs.

'85 Supra 2nd gen 5 speed.
Dad's gift. I didn't really appreciate it until it was too late and the car shit itself. Later on I got a '94 Civic and currently a '03 GTI. Both bought with my own money.

First car was a Geo Storm. Bought it for $200. Needed new injectors, two adjacent cylinders weren't holding compression (gasket obviously), alternator was so bad I couldn't turn it by hand, ground to engine had rotted off... made it my project to restored it before I even got my license.

Drove that shit box down my parents 50 meter driveway so many times as I improved it over time.

Turned 16, got license, and finally got to put her on the road. Had her purring like she was new.

It would have been nice if my father had any mechanical experience at all, but he didn't, had to learn from books, and mostly got by with using my fathers carpentry tools in a make-shift fashion.

Fast forward to today, I work for Mercedes Benz. I would have loved to have these tools back then.

Paid for the car, parts, repairs and gas myself. Dad helps with insurance though.

First car was a 2006 Evo back in 2009.

Parents paid for gas, the car, and insurance.

'05 G35 sedan in '12 (still my daily)

I paid for a third of the car, but my parents covered insurance and gas

'91 Toyota Celica ST, bought it myself in 2001.
>RIP

First car was a volvo 242 turbo, got it from my grandfather who bought it new and later his eyesight took a turn for the worse so he had no need for the car anymore.

My first car was an 03 Honda Element, mom got a new vehicle and I was 16 or so at the time. I paid for the gas and insurance but the car was already paid off. Now I'm working on my own 05 Jeep Liberty. Honestly, the only reason I got rid of it was an accident I got into with it and it was simply getting too expensive to repair.

1991 ford corsair,
Dad bought it for me and my sister, $500 in 2006

90 Camry (this was 1995) Salesman's car from my dad's business that was being put out to pasture with close to 200k. Leaked oil, badly. Had it about 2 years until I bought my own vehicle - a 92 Rodeo.

1990 Isuzu pick up truck (not the pup, that was cooler). Paid $1600 and had for 3 months before I sold it and bought a Ford Escort GT.

...

It was a Honda accord 1994 that I brought myself but I never got to actually use it as a daily because it was a piece of shit that needed to get fixed constantly. Always throwing $$$ at it for shitty repairs. Fuck that car.

A 2010 Camaro. I was a senior in high school, and I was really into the live-action Transformers movies. My parents were rich enough to get me the car. All my friends were pretty jealous, and it got me my first girlfriend.

Damn. Thats pretty sad.

How is that sad?

96 Sierra 1500 I bought myself at 19 for $1400, still driving it today at 23. I keep wanting to have work done on it but they're so cheap I have a hard time justifying the cost.

Your car got you the girlfriend. Not you.

And being into transformers is the most turbo form of autism.

I think it's more sad he was really into the live action Transformer movies.

Yea, I made that point

Well I mean, we were together for the next 3 years so I guess she liked me enough for who I was to stay with me for that long.

I was an 18 year old who liked watching giants robots fight. There's nothing wrong with that.

And besides, the first Transformers is a solid movie.

Or she didn't realize that it was your parents who were rich. Not you.

My first car was a truck.

95 gmc Sonoma my dad bought from a nun with low as fuck miles. Gave it to me and said I will be paying for insurance and maintenance.

When it dies he told me he wouldn't be buying me a new car so make sure it doesn't shit the bed.

Well, I was living with my parents the whole time. So really, their wealth transitions onto me.

'92 Dodge Spirit.
I earned the money, mom was the one who found it and made the actual purchase.

It was a good first car. Plenty of space, plenty of power, and it was cheap as dirt.

Fucking rich fags

86 tercel jesse pinkman edition, dad made me buy it off him for $600

My first car was a 1972 VW super beetle. I paid $800 for it with my money and help from my dad on parts and working on it. He was stoked that I asked for his help and it ended up pretty much becoming his car

A '94 Tercel. My dad actually bought it for me cause im so spoiled. Actually my parents never gave me an allowance or paid me for any work, so by the time i got a job (convienently too far for a bike) my dad was forced to drive me to work and caved on a true pussy magnet.
Dark green with a cracked flywheel, got honked at constantly because it took 20 seconds to go from 0 to 20 mph.
Sold it for a 95 Ranger that i still drive a fucking decade later because it wont die even after 330k.

1968 Opel Kadet

Bought it used and put a ton of miles on it going up and down the east coast (speedo cable snapped shortly after buying it so never knew how far or fast I went). Took a beating and kept on going until pic somewhat related

96 Pontiac Firebird WS6, father bought it for me for 8 grand 2 years ago. Still drive it.

First car was a 97 rl. Died just before New Years. My dad bought it used in 2001 both my sisters drove it in hs and than I assumed possession when I turned 16. Amazing car I was very sad to see it go.

Are you my dad?

I had a 2003 auto RSX. I loved that car, I had it for a year. One day my brother (who is a notoriously bad driver) crashed his car, so I let him borrow mine while his was in the shop because he had a job and I didn't. The next day he totaled it, that day was also the day that I knocked somebody out for the first time

>500 smackaroos
How long before you had to sell it because major mechanical issues were lurking?

A 2000 Mazda Millenia. My mother had bought it from a family friend for me as a first car for $800. It had frame damage, the abs was defunct, huge dent on the rear driverside panel, the steering was a mess, you'd have to have the wheel turned 20degrees to the left to keep the car straight, but it was my baby. I loved it and it was a great car to learn to drive in. I ended up wrecking it when i rear-ended a commercial van in manhattan, his rear bumper had barely any damage and the entire front end of my millenia was pushed into the driversfront wheelwell. Was a good trashbanger and im grateful for having learned to drive in it.

Why do spoiled shits always crash their cars more often than poorfags? Those parents should given their kids a car with automatic braking and distance keeping, as well as lane assist, in stead of fast huge sedans they can't handle.

>Millennia
>dented to shit
>literal bucket of bolts
>$800 from a family friend

Spotted the melanin enriched fella

they take their free cars for granted, and they never learn how to drive them in a non-autistic fashion, as daddy will always buy them another one

You should keep special edition cars as OEM as possible. Will sell for a lot of money later.

First 940 Guy here. Bought mine for 4000 Eurodollars with buckets of options in good condition.

I was alsof wondering how much car you would get for 600 smackaroos.

mate I have a 97 e36 as well in the same colour, it was my dad's but he's given it to me.

I haven't learned to drive yet but it'll be my first car when I do.

my dad bought it a week after I was born so it's pretty close to my heart

A brand new Corolla, was only on my temps at the time. Yes Daddy paid for it. I wanted a Mazda3 :(.

1995 Bonneville. Dad got it from a family friend for $50. At one point the subframe rusted out and fell off the car. Took out the steering column and I drove into a ditch.

Cut out some metal plates to patch the rust holes and used old sockets to replace the rotted bushings. Drove it like that for another 4 months before we got rid of it.

Pic related after the subframe fell off.
