Question

need 2 start saving 4 a car

Answer 1

Despite what some have said, I can honestly say now, at 17, that you'll be happy you saved the money.

I started saving money (allowance) at about age eight, and at age eleven started saving towards a car. At 15, I got a job.

My buddy didn't really save much money. Ever.

Here's a list of what we've done, car-wise.

Me-
-Bought 1993 Ford Probe GT with 5-speed manual and 2.5-liter V-6 with 148,000 miles for $1,000 from my dad.
-Paid $792 to have said ride repainted (It needed it, but my grandparents know this guy.).
-Wrecked on December 12, 2006. That car saved my life (Neither here nor there, but influenced my next car choice.).
-Paid $3,000 for a 1995 Ford Probe GT, fully loaded (Bumpin' sound system, sunroof, power everything, and nuclear climate control), with 5-speed manual and 2.5-liter V-6 with 95,000 miles. Dad brought it home from New Hampshire. (I love my dad.)
-Wrecked said ride about two weeks after I started driving again. Not my fault, but since I only had liability (And I rear-ended the lady.), I paid $800 to replace the rear bumper on a 2000 Suburban, and then about $2,500 for repairs to my car. And $100 as part of a ticket reduction. (The insurance company has no idea I've been in two wrecks, and I'd like to keep it that way.)
-Paid off all debts as of mid-October 2007.

My buddy-
-Bought 1997 Ford Taurus GL for $1,200.
-Put some new speakers in.
-Currently having transmission issues.

See? All through middle school (high school maybe? What grade are you in?), everyone may think, "Wow, what a tightwad," but when you turn 16, and show up to school in some ultra-smooth sports car, a lot of people will think differently. Since both my cars were late-model (1993-1997) Ford Probe GT's, and they've been great, I highly recommend them. They were built by Mazda, and all my experiences with Mazda have been outstanding. So, um, buy a Mazda. Or an early-model Nissan 300ZX twin-turbo. Coool.

Also, when shopping, use AutoTrader.com.

Hope it helps,

EDIT: I s'pose I should mention the job, too, instead of just bragging on my car....

Um, yeah. If you live in eastern Alabama, southeastern Tennessee, South Carolina, or (especially) Georgia or Florida, go for a Publix job. I started there bagging at $6.50, or more than my then-18-year-old friend (different friend) made SUPERVISING at Kroger. I now make $7.50 (Plus a dollar on Sundays.). If not, I've heard good things about Target. Generally, I see more people saying retail is a good place to be. Food service, eh, not so much. (But I've got a friend who is the next thing to a manager at a Chic-Fil-A. However, it took him a couple years to do it.)

Okay, NOW I'm done.

Answer 2

Well, if you HAVE cash in the first place. You can start by selling food and drinks at school... Warren Buffet started doing that when he was a kid and saved enough to buy his first vending machine... and from the cash from that he bought his second machine, and then his third and before he knew it he's the second richest man in the world behind bill gates.

You could also sell skateboard blanks, theres little presses you can buy (They're like $200) if you have a garage, and the wood costs about 5$ a board, you can sell it for like 30-40$ to your friends... There was a kid in my middle school doing that... You buy the wood in bulk, then press them and cut holes in it, try them out, you can even put your own grip tape or graphics on it if you wanna shell out the extra cash, make a stencil and grab a can or good spray paint.

Answer 3

Fund raise/ sell stuff out of your home/ have a garage sale with stuff from your room - old toys - books - games and ask your parents if they're willing to give up some household items during the garage sale as long as the sale is YOUR project, not theirs.
Start a piggy bank and DON'T TOUCH IT. Exchange bottles at the grocery store.
Most importantly don't spend. Take a picture of the car you want - put it in your wallet as a constant GOAL reminder so that you don't spend and keep striving toward your goal.
Good Luck!

Answer 4

The best answer would be to apply for a job. Goto the local supermarket or something and ask for an application. I would do this to maybe 3 stores because sometimes they don't call you back.

If you want an alternative than I have a couple of suggestions:
-Start a website if you are the business type
- Make characters in online games and sell them if you are they lazy video game nerd type.
- sell drugs if you have no morals ( you can make big money in this one )

Answer 5

OMG...your only almost 14!!! Stop worrying so early
I'm 14 already turning 15 in May and I don't even care yet.

But if you really want to start saving this early...good for you. To get money I would say help around the house, rake/ shovel nieghbors yeards (depends on you live) or babysit it you know how to = ]

You could try looking for a job but most workplaces don't hire unless your around 15...hard to find places who hire 14 year olds.

Answer 6

Um, get a job this summer when you're 14. A few places around where I live hire 14-year-olds. Last summer when I turned 15 I worked in food service. I got paid pretty well, not too many hours, and getting a food service permit is pretty easy.

Answer 7

you are 13 almost 14.Enjoy your live now.I know you need to save up for a car.Start now by saving every little bit of money you get either from allowance or any favor you do.You still have plenty of time so by the time you are 16 you have enough money to get what you always wanted a CAR with your own money.

Answer 8

Yard work, babysitting, dog walking/sitting, newspaper delivery, computer work (helping people who know little to nothing about computers) ride your bike to pick up small groceries for people who can not get out. If you live near a farm you can offer your muscle to do work around the grounds.
Check your local classifieds section in the newspaper, ours has a special section just for young teens.
BUT, some states have laws about when "kids" are allowed to start working. Check it out, or ask your parents

Answer 9

May I recommend selling drugs and prostitution? Sure, working at McDonalds is a bit more conventional. But you're looking to earn some serious cash right, not chump change? Start be hanging out with a shady crew and sex and drugs will follow. I wish you all the best with your car!
