Well First off im 19, Im looking into getting a Si, with a few of the extras

What are you guys making that pay for your car+ insurance, Anyone Have Points on there liscense?

Im just trying to figure out if id be able to afford one

 

Well, not sure what wages are like there on the east coast, I would assume generally higher. However, expenses would be the same way. I only make $10/hr at 40 a week, but my job is EASY. I could hold another job no problem if I wanted to. I help a wedding planner on occasion for extra dough but I don't have much in expenses. Phone, Car, Insurance. Im 20. Trying to get my car how I want it before I rent or buy a house, because I will be broke for sure then.

 

I bring in a little over $15k a year and I have no problem paying for mine, im 18 BTW.

 

I sell Si's

 

If you want to see if you can afford the car simply go to the dealer and get a quote or just go to the Honda site and have them factor the payments for you. Then get a quote from your insurance company.

Now at this point, simply pretend that you bought the car and put the money into another bank account that you are not going to touch and see if you can make it by without that amount of money or not. After a few months you should know if you can afford it and best of all, it will be a great down payment for when you finally decide to buy.

really good idea.

and $20K+ is a huge investment for a person your age.....think about it real hard. you dont want to mess up you credit/financial stability early in your life.

 

I sell parts / service's on SI's (and other Hondas for that matter)...im 27..prolly rake in lik 35-40 a year.

 

I'm an Assistant Treasurer for Asset Servicing/Global Securities Lending for a Bank on Wall St & 27yrs old.

Dont lie X...we all know you're a "baller" with ur new wheels and cars every 6 months... "enough" my ***. lol

 

the cost for me is about $600 per month ($450 for car payment & $150 for insurance), which roughly means that the car takes $4 from me every hour i work. this is fine by me as a quality assurance worker.

credit cards are the devil.

im glad i got deployed. that extra money got me out of debt. all i pay for is my car.

CC's

 

The question isn't what everyone else makes. I can make $250k/yr but still not be able to afford the Si because I'm in debt up to my ears or can't save a dime for 2 days.

Call your ins. company and get a quote on an Si. Add $450/mo to that (if you've got decent credit & no money down). Can you afford to spend that much a month?

If you can afford it but you're worried about spending too much, ask your HR person at work (or whoever handles payroll) if you can split your check up into 2 accounts (direct deposit). You can then have your insurance and car payment come out of one that you don't touch and live off the other one.

 

22 years old, $25k/yr, $318/mo payment on my Si, $120/mo on insurance (state farm, clean record)

I'm a commercial insurance service rep

 

Im a pizza delivery driver. On avg w tips included I make about 15 dollars an hr @ 30 hrs a week. I have two cars, I use the prelude for delivery. I have a few credit cards a phone bill and a gf and Im still cool.

 

I do installs for Directv and get pad by the job. Right now I am on track to make a little over $50k. I have my SI and my wife wanted one also, but she cant drive a stick, so she got a LX. Also have rent, credit cards, insurance, oh and two kids. I still have money left over the play with. But the wife does work also.

 

i'm really lucky and do a sport where sponsors pay for everything i need, and i get stipends, and thats what pays for my car, but i put 12k down on it, so i'll have it paid off in 2 years

 

25
around 40k/year
170k house
450/payments for 3 years
90/full coverage ins.
