What kind of car do you have?


What make, model and year of car do you have?

When did you get it?

How much was it? It's MSRP? What configuration did you get of it? What options did you get on it? What did you pay down?

Did you finance it? Lease it? Did you get it used? Did you get it new?

Did you get it from a dealership? Did you get it from an individual? Did you get it when it first began selling, or did you get it years after?

I don't own a car currently, but I've been thinking about getting my driver's permit for the first time after a long time of not having it.

I'm 32 years old, and first got my permit at 16 years old, but never got my license.

I've been thinking about trying to get my license for the first time, and getting a car for the first time maybe as well.

What make, model and year of car do you have?
*2008 Miata Touring - soft top.
*2019 Lexus UX Hybrid

When did you get it?
*Bought the Miata new in 2009 - they had a huge excess inventory after the 2008 market downturn and were offering amazing incentives. I got it for $16k
*Bought the Lexus at the end of May - 1 year old with 9,200 miles. Certified with 4 years warranty remaining. Sticker was $39,900 and I bought it for $28,400. Fantastic deal and the car was like new.


How much was it? It's MSRP? What configuration did you get of it? What options did you get on it? What did you pay down?
See above comments.
*Miata really doesn't offer a lot of options, but since then I've done a lot of upgrades - including a custom leather interior.
* Lexus came equipped with all the bells and whistles - it has a sunroof, which is unfortunately bundled into a package. For the life of me I don't get sunroofs.

Did you finance it? Lease it? Did you get it used? Did you get it new?
*Miata - paid cash
*Lexus - put $10K down, financed the rest and will pay off by March.

Did you get it from a dealership? Did you get it from an individual? Did you get it when it first began selling, or did you get it years after?
Bought both cars through a dealership.

* No idea what your budget is, but dealers are still offering great deals- lots of 0% financing if you are interested in new and even better deals if you are willing to buy a late model used car. Suggest you go online and just shop around to see what is available.

Good Luck!

04 Hyundai Santa Fe. Bought it like 7 years ago for 5 Gs off somebody's lawn. It's not holding up well, I wouldn't recommend it. Paints all peeling off, it has tons of electronic gremlins, things are just going wrong on it all over. Engine seems to be holding real well though.

I have a Subaru. My last car was a Subaru. I had it for years. I got this one used last year. Great cars. Wouldn't drive anything else.

That's what I wanted but I couldn't afford one. They hold their value real good.
