1978 Alfa Romeo Spider for $550 in 2003, I was going to restore it, but it was in too bad of condition. I parted it out and came out with about $1,100 and bought a running 1981 BMW 320i in 2004 for $490. I got my drivers license that same year.
TBH I was in college until last year. While in college my parents wanted to lease me a car. The first car I leased was a Mazda 3. I got it in 2009 and can't remember if it was 2009 or 2010 year. The car was around $20-25,000 brand new because my parents didn't want me having navigation system or anything else except basic basic. After that was all Mustangs. Can' t think of what first or second was originally. The second Mustang I have, I currently have. I MIGHT buy it out. The total is around $20-23,000. Thats a good deal for brand new for features I have. The first Mustang was basic basic model, while this one was upgraded one, which was more expensive as basic basic (obviousuly).
The first car I bought with my own money was an '81 Monte Carlo (bought in '88) with 80K miles on it. My boss (who owned the business) at the time deducted $75 out of each paycheck for a year (technically 11mos) until I paid off $1800. I drove it for 8yrs and getting 150K miles out of an early 80's car was a hell of a feat.
