At what age were you able to buy (cash/finance) your own car out of your own pocket.

Age 24, I was able to purchase my own 2nd hand car ( a 93 corolla Gli)...
age 29, my first brand new purchase ( a 2000 Civic Vti)

i was 21 when i got a corolla 91 GL.

that was after more than a year of working alone in a rebel-infested island doing some socio-economic surveys. i was a fresh grad then.

First car financed was a used BMW 325e and I was 22 or 23 years old.
First brand new car was a Mitsubishi Mirage Coupe and I was 26, which gave me 3 cars at the time. Now I just want to pay off my Xterra so I won't have anymore car payments.

I was 21 when I financed my first car. However, I needed a co-signer because I just started working. But, every cent came from my own pocket.

I was 23 when I financed a car completely on my own.

Most of the vehicles that I bought myself are second-hand. First one was age 23, a couple of years after graduation and working for a couple of years.... (First brand new car that I bought was 7 years after, after getting married and building our first house)....

Nice numbers, so far I'm not seeing 30+. Does this mean the average tsikoteer is very masinop sa pera and thus able to buy cars at relatively early time.
