So how much money(about) did you have when you were 15,so that you could buy a car?

I got about $700 That I dont want to touch at all intill im at least 16 3/4 for a DD. I have more but thats always coming and going. and even more in the bank for a rear:? Why cant I just stop?:x

at 15 i had no money cause i had just bought the Chevelle (for $700) but as I got older I would do more work and hold onto it till i needed parts for the car. Youre doing good!

actually matt you have 700 bucks more then i had when i was 15. i was one who spent it as fast as i made it. and i made it by cutting grass and shoveling snow or whatever it took. i did'nt start thinking about saving for a car until i was 17 yo andgot a job pumping gas. i beat the snot out of the parents car till i had enough money for my own. so you off to a good start!

about the same..but i also had a moped i was dumping money into hand over fist...

i dont remember 15, but when i was 16 my job payed me 10.50 an hour on regular days, 15.75 on sat. and 31.50 on sunday. so i saved up for my my first car (5k). then blew the rest of my money away shortly after that...

[r0nin89]

Well I can tell you that at 14 I had about $3500 then bought my car which was 1500 did an engine which was 1500 and spent the rest on repairs. I'd say your not doing so well imo. Just work your ass off and think about your car. When I worked at KFC for a whole month for every grueling hour I was reeating Hurst Shifter in my head. I still havent bought one...

PS: $3000 was all me the $500 was my parents.

you think thats grueling, wait till you have a real job......or a job where your life is on the line every time you go to work, or a job where you work 80+ hours a week

well, maybe not the 80 hr weeks, but i have worked for 28+ hours straight with no sleep quite a few times, and inbetwwen there i had to pick up 14-16 tons of garbage.

/hijack
trust me i charge a lot more for my services, after all im one of the best. However that job was one of the best jobs a man can have, it was demolition. I got paid to break ****!

[Tsar]

i worked 54 hours this past week, while doing full time school thing.

funny thing is im PART TIME...

[JL8Jeff]

Hmmm, I can't remember if I had any jobs when I was 15,:confused: that was 25 years ago! I think I worked some odd jobs for people but minimum wage was like $3 an hour back then so I know I didn't have much money. I do remember buying my first car(1969 Camaro conv) for $2000 at the end of the summer after my freshman year in college. But I couldn't afford insurance and to pay for any books or other college expenses so the car sat in the garage for 8 months before I could drive it!

I was making a solid 6.50 an hour around 15 years old at my first job. I was there for about 3 years, saved up a decent amount while spending the other half. By the time I was 18, I started to really get into cars, and I had to find another job to feed my habit. So I went to Strauss Discount Auto as a parts guy and made 7.50 an hour.

[Savage_Messiah]

at 15 i had whatever i could mooch off my parents, didnt have cars in midn at all, all that money went to CDs and food around town haha

[79dizZy28]

At 15, I probably had $100-200. I didn't start working till 16 where I made $7/hr and didn't do too well of a job of saving. My first few months of paychecks went towards a home theatre system that I bought piece by piece, in the end totaling $2000 by the time it was complete. Then I finally started to save as I figured I wanted to have a car by the time I got my liscence at 17. So I managed to save up another $2000 while looking for a third gen, but spent most of that on an '83 Datsun 280zx. After that I ended up picking up a second part time job and started saving for a hot air Buick Grand National. But I ended up totaling the Datsun and spent the insurance money on my second gen instead :)

[Tru2Chevy]

I had about $1500 at that point. I had already been delivering newspapers for 4 years, and at 16 I started waiting tables at a local steakhouse (Pete's on N Olden) for $3.00/hr + tips. I spent that $1500 and more on my first car and repairs for it, and I only had it a year, and sold it for $150.

Wow 80 hours I didnt think that was humanly possible... I work a fair amount now imo. If your in high school I wouldnt work more than 30 hours a week while your in school. I tried it and wound up cutting the **** down cause I wasnt doing my homework the nites I worked. As far as grueling work I only made referance because working at KFC blew. If you've got $2500 I'd say your good!

[LS1Hawk]

Can't remember that far back how much money I had, but after I graduated college I had about $10K in the bank which I used as a down payment on my Firehawk. I had been saving the money through out high school and college, but I'm pretty sure I had very little at 15.

[Firebird67dude]

At 15 i was working at the mechanic shop and mowing lawns. The lawn mowing wasnt bad it took my less than an hour each lawn, i had 15 lawns, and i charge $20 a house each time. Some houses i hit up twice a week. I bought the 67 when i was 16 for $2500 and had about 2gs left over.

[WayFast84]

I think I need a financial planner!! Is their away to put money in the bank and you have to sign something that says you wont take it out for like 3 years?

I need to stop spending money on this firebird!!!!!!!!!!! I think gears, runingness and what ever I need to do for the guage swap!

[12secondv6]

$700 is not nearly enough to warrant a financial planner LOL. You can get a CD (certificate of deposit) at your bank which will pay you a better intrest than a savings account but you can't touch the money without incurring a penalty.

The best thing you can get for your car right now is free. Soak up as much information and learn as much as you can so you won't be pissing your money away buying and re-selling a bunch of parts that don't match, or don't fit, or aren't right, etc. Hi-po parts, cool looking rims, and other expensive parts are nice but if you have the goal of being road worthy then you need to learn the difference between nice-to-haves and got-to-haves.

tell me more about this cd!


I got ordered the cam I really need a converter and gears.. how ever Im not sure if Im staying auto or swaping in a manual, so Ill get gears for christmas from my self...I just want it to run

[LS1Hawk]

Just open an ING savings. If you have a checking account you just link it online and you can deposit and withdraw from it whenever and there's no minimums. The APR is around 4.50% right now. Much better than the quater of a percent most banks give you.

[jola]

When I was 15 I was still playing football or basketball every day after school. I had a few hundred, no car, and didn't care.

So a cam other than stock is a nesecity? along with rear grs? Didnt know that. Anyhow. Just get the car running. We dont need a wayfast on the first day of his DL meeting a tree at 80 mph. Trust me none of us want that.
