SBT Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 ^ Yeah - there's a real wake-up call coming on the auto industry as a whole and 1st time buyers as a group. 20-30% down to get a 10% rate loan...even with mom and dad signing. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Pen Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 i know what you mean mccorry most kids my age don't even wipe there own azz let alone pay for a car... i think im in a small category of 20 year olds who work 45 hours a week and pay there own way.. then again im lucky enough to still be at home so its all relative in the end.. but i see it all day around here to many 17-22 year olds still livin off of mommy and daddy:eek:.. it definatly makes you more proud and respect what you have earned... but hey you get what you put into it some people just learn that a little earlier..

dark_templer_102 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 All I remember is my mom thought the car had good value and extremely safe, and thought it would be a very good car.

HAMMER DOWN Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Im 17! Got my Roo 3 months ago and proud to call it my first car, even though it's my 3rd...thanks grandpa.....but because im working hard to pay for it in this sh it whole economy, its my first real car The economy isn't great, but it's far from the shitter. 777+ points is only like 9% of the market. In the mid 80's, the market drop over 20%. I work for the #1 forklift co.(as MIG welder) in North America. Are market is flat,which is good in this flat economy. But we are up 12%. Co. don't buy forklifts in a shitty economy. One, the bailout is not good. Two, IMO from the three bubbles,tech, housing & oil. Is inturn the stock market is in it's own bubble. Do to bad choises on all partys. This bubble is popped. We can take are med. now or with a bailout, deal with is later.
