Story of the first car you ever bought?

Question

I bought my first car about two months ago. I found an ad in the autotrader for a G35, it was an hour away though, but it cost about 5 grand less than anything else near me, so I made the trip. The guy was very nice, it was a private seller, I drove it around for 15 minutes. He wanted 24k, I told him to call me if he wants to sell for 23k; and headed back home. 10 minutes later he calls me back and says okay. I came back 2 days later, wrote him a certified check and love the car.

So what was your first car purchase experience? Were you happy with it?

actually he initially wanted 27k, but while I was there I had bargained it down to 24k

Answer 1

My first truck was a 1971 Chevy C-10 2wd. It had an inline 6 but we built a 350 and camed it up. it was a big rust bucket.

Answer 2

well done on your bargaining skills. Actually I'm a lot older than you and bought my own first car way back in 1996 although still at school. It was a BMW Isetta bubble car ( take a look on the web) in a very nice shade of yellow!!. Three wheels with a front opening door it was also a three seater .. wished I'd kept it, it would be worth quite a bit now in value ... Happy motoring

Answer 3

I bought a used Suzuki from my sister. It lasted me a few years before I bought a new Ford

Answer 4

It was a used (one year used) Nissan 4X2 pickup....which I found out was on the Consumner Reports "Lemon List"....I ran that thing for 13 more years.....14 total on it......sweet.

Answer 5

Uncle's 1958 VW bug. Black with no air. Hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It didn't matter cause it was mine.
