first car
so i get my license in a year and ive been thinking about cars lately, i have a job (kinda my own business thing) i work when i want and get paid 10-15hr cash so its pretty good. atm i have 200 saved up for a car and im planning on getting more. But heres my scenarios ive been thinking of
-save up like 5k and get a semi restored muscle car (i was thinking like a 1980 monte carlo or something) -buy a run down muscle car and fix it up in the next year or so -buy a cheap reliable gas efficient safe car (cause the muscle cars wont have airbags and such) for a few hundred and after a year or so of having my license then buy a nice muscle car like my first idea wacha think? |

Re: first car
I'd go with the last option, save up 7-8k and buy a semi restored car for under 5k. Use that couple grand to fix the most urgent issues. (there will be quite a few of them)

If I were in your shoes, I'd pick up the newest, cheapest economy car I could find that was at least a little bit fun, something with +/- 130 hp, stick-shift and good mileage. You need something reliable to get you to work and back while you save up for the classic. |
