how old were you when you bought your first car out of your own money?

since i am in college i've been dreaming of having and driving a car. . . when i became a lawyer at the age of 26, turning 27, i thought i can already buy one, but i was on a tight budget, pamilyado na kasi, so i waited for another 3 years. . . i was already 30 years old when i bought my first car, 2nd hand na nga lang, nag-loan pa ako sa savings and loan association para lang makabili pero galant naman, matic pa.

buti pa yong friend ko, my classmate from elementary-high school, pagkapasa sa bar nong 2008, binilhan ng parents nya ng brand new toyota corolla altis. . yong another friend of mine, 3rd year pa lang sa college of medicine nong 2004 or 2005, binilhan din ng parents nya ng brand new toyota vios . iba-iba lang talaga ang swerte ng tao. . .

how about you guys?

Ako naman 33 years old nung mabili ko tsikot ko coralla XL na pang taxi type. Haay....hindi kasi tayo kasing palad ng kakilala natin, sila yung pinagpala, anak ng Diyos o yung sinasabi ng iba na Born with the silver spoon.

When me and my wife bought our bnew Innova last August 2010 I was 28 years old. Naka loan sa bank and we are paying for the monthly in our own. Yung DP din inipon namin.

pero iba naman ang feeling na we were a able to buy our own car out of our own money di ba? this is a sign of our success. then, my next project would be buying my own house and lot, then, brand new or slightly used SUV naman. hehe!

ganon din po ako. i purchased my first car on sept. 2009 lang po, but i'm planning to preserve it/i-vintage kahit na makabili pa ako ng another car/SUV in the future.

yon nga e, pati sa car maintainance, medyo nahihirapan pa akong mag-budget lalo na kung sabay-sabay ang household expenses. samantalang yong iba, professionals na, binibigyan pa rin ng parents nila ng allowance/financial aid. kung minsan, nakakaingit talaga. pero siguro, someday, yong mga bagay na di kaya sa ating ibigay ng parents natin e, maibibigay natin sa mga anak natin.

25 years old. That was a year ago.

That is the car that I'm driving now. 99 civic vti
sarap ng feeling pag yung oto mo galing sa dugo't pawis mo.

BTW, I'm an engineer. Medyo pinalad kaya nakabili ng oto.

God is good.

...mine at age 36,talagang sariling sikap,mahilig kasi ako sa sasakyan kaya kahit xlt jeep lang pinagsikapan kong makabili noon,nag-ofw ako para makaipon;

now i'm a proud owner of 3 cars and 2 motorbikes,talagang hirap at pawis kasi ang puhunan kaya masarap ang pakiramdam pag nakikita mo ang pinagpaguran mo:cool01:;

28 years old ako noong nabili ko ang 1st car ko last june lang medyo natagalan kasi pamilyado na akong tao pero proud kasi galing sa dugo at pawis ko kahit 2nd hand lang....but sadly na aksidente ako ngayun nasa motor pool ang kotse ko, kaya back to my honda xrm motorbike ulit galing din sa sarili kong bulsa... malapit na ulit magawa after spending 70k sa repairs at parts...

26 when I started working abroad. After 3 yrs, I purchased a 2nd hand 2002 Corolla (bank loaned) and after 4 yrs I paid it off. Sold it and replaced with my 2nd car--06 Accord.

[ronw123w124]

Bought the first car with my own money at age 26, ni-loan ko sa bank but I paid 60% DP (ayaw ko kasi yung masyado malaki ang utang), it was a 2003 CRV, yun nga lang, sold it after 3 months and bought a second hand MB. I used the proceeds from the sale of the CRV then paid off my bank loan, yung sobrang pera ang pinangbili ko ng MB. That was the last time na bumili ako ng car under financing.

[j.caine]

i paid for it when i was 23 pa, last Nov 2010... but i drove it when i was 24 na, Dec 2010...

im proud of it coz it's my own money... i never really thought of buying one but ever since i moved in Metro Manila - i thought i really need it and it's a necessity.. hirap mag taxi dito eh, dami salbahe and abusadong cab drivers.. and di rin ako marunong mag jeep or bus or mrt...

These are short great stories of success.

success story na pala ang buying a car

i thought a success story is like building a restaurant brand and selling majority stake to Jollibee for P3,000,000,000

[_Cathy_]

These are short great stories of success.

I really admire those people who became financially independent and were able to make big purchases in their 20s. I can't figure out how some people do it. In my first job my officemates and I were even abunado with our salary. I couldn't even afford to pay for gas then.

I do hope someday I could afford to buy my own car or even better buy my parents a car
