Hell, I'm 25. And I pay double payments.
I have a Two bedroom apt. all pimped out! 51" Sony Widescreen, Surround Sound. Everything anyone would love to have. Sitting next to my Computer is a 36" TV, I use it for the PS2. Everything is payed for!
Oh and look at my list of Mods.
Buying my P5 all on my own, no co-signer.

Well 17100 converts to 24,000 CAD so maybe your cars are a little more expensive. I pay $980 per year for business insurance which is around $697 US.. Suffice to say that $ 17,100 US is a lot of money for a young person! Even financed! I will stop butting into this thread since I'm so off topic!
How do people young people afford a $16,000 car??? Easy...banks and other financial institutions will finance just about anybody with a pulse...I don't plan on letting my son fall into that payment trap (heck, my first car was a 1978 Plymouth Arrow GT that didn't even run!!)...nothing like starting life in debt...

Echo that. I'm 19, my dad is paying for the car, and the mods are up to me.
The same deal went with my 240SX.

:wtf: Man, I tell ya...kids have no right to complain then! My dad never volunteered to pay for a car. If I wanted it, I bought it, and kept it up! Now parents are buying teens $15,000 BRAND NEW cars! I had to go to college for 5 years and work in my chosen profession for 11 years before I could buy this car.

Well, the first year after high school I took off to work.. I resigned in April and am now getting ready for school. My sister had it different, though. In November '01, we were shopping for a car for me--my sister would get my 240SX and I'd get the new one. I was eyeballing the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V for a while and when I finally found a fully loaded one at a dealer about two hours north of San Diego, CA, my sister test drove it and nabbed it! My dad put $5,000 down and she's paying the monthly. She turns 22 this December. If I was working, I would have probably gone with a Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon. I'm very grateful for this car; I now have something a lot more convenient to take snowboarding.

Mine was a hand-me-down 83 Chrysler E-Class. (aka, the cheap version of the New Yorker...as if the New Yorker was expensive)
The bottom was completely rusted out and anytime I hydroplaned on the passenger side, water would come squirting up through the hole in the carpet where the seat should have been bolted down...only it wasn't in that spot. If I had a passenger, his/her leg would get drenched.
That is on top of the rocking back and forth because of the missing bolt.
Anyway, it leaked about a quart of oil between fill-ups and eventually the cam shaft broke...then later I blew the engine. I was driving along then smelled oil...slowly the car went from 70 to 60 to 50 to 30...until I rolled into a rest area in neutral and left it there. That was the end of that car. I figure...if I smelled oil there must have been some in it right? ahh, who cares.

Me too! I remember when I was in my early 20's my mom was going to sell her Champagne Edition Volkswagen Rabbit and I wanted to buy it. She refused to sell it to me because she felt she would have to sell it at a lower price! She's still a terrific mom though. I have had many used MG's but the P5 is my first brand new car.
