I'm 20 and work as a server at an upscale restaurant. I go to school full time and still live with my parents, but i pay for my car payments, insurance, mods, and pretty much everything else except rent. And props to all the young guys starting their own businesses!

I'm 29 and a software engineer. Single-income, no kids, no wife, and the car payment + insurance + maintenance still chews a big hole in my wallet. I'm on my 4th set of brake pads, 4th set of tires, god knows how many oil changes and tanks of gas. The evo is a killer lol.

Some one a while back said you need to make 50 to afford an Evo in CA. I live in LA I think its more with our $279 gas. I also wonder how many people really "afford" and Evo. When I hear things: like "21,work at starbucks or insert other low paying job here" or the like how do you pay rent/insurance/gas on that type of pay? and even more confusing some of those guys are mod hounds?
I'm not insulting I am asking becuase it seems like I missed a how not to **** away money class somewhere.
Yeah no kidding, I'm single & no kids & I made over $60K last year, and I can barely afford the damn thing with no mods lol. Dunno how people manage it.Originally Posted by prodrive121

When I was in the process of getting my 05, I offered the dealer $37K cash out the door for an 05 MRand he said forget it someone will give us $42K for it, and you know what? Someone did, a week later a Navy E-4 brought that car and paid $42K+ for it, unfricking believeable.

Dude dealerships in military towns are known for their predatory lending. Guys come back from long deployments with a year's worth of hazard pay and they want to throw it at the first thing that moves.Originally Posted by macster
