Just as a side note, another great way to save money is a motto of "use it till it breaks" especially with electronics. A phone can last 5+ years without a major upgrade but people tend to buy every year cause it's just kind of expected. Hold off on that new TV, or that ridiculously overpriced graphics card and you'll really see your savings rack up. Smaller frivolous purchases are a killer for long term savings. As for my dream car? I think it'd have to be the Lotus Evora/Emira, I joke with my friends about the lotus fund but it is very real LOL.
Great suggestions. You can keep yourself from spending on frivolous things by compartmentalizing your money when you get paid. "Pay yourself" first into an account you don't touch. Stick to it and leave the money in there until you have the amount you are saving for. This is a good idea even if you are not saving for anything specific. They are called "emergency savings" and can help you out of a bad situation should you need it.
Bought my dream car 3 years ago. Took me 8 years of checking every single day to find the perfect one for me. I’m glad I waited for the right one though; take your time with it. Good luck to everyone out there saving up for your dream car, you got this.
Good advice! I made the mistake of buying the cheapest example of the car I wanted when I was younger, it just ended up costing more to get the cars in a condition I was happy with than if I just saved a bit longer and waited for the right one .
I guess you can classify me as someone who just recently attained their dream car, a 2022 GR Supra 3.0 Premium. I'm 37 years old, been working since I was 15 1/2. This video is great, especially about the part of not settling. Big emphasis on that, because I did that too many times and "settled" for lesser cars just to get by, but was never truly satisfied. So after years of hard work, and seeing the 2020 Supra revealed (back in 2019) I was fixated and determined that would be my next car. I actually could afford maybe up to a $120K car but really gravitated to the Supra no matter what other cars I looked at. So 3 weeks ago I found this Supra, and bought it cash. I still pinch myself looking at it in the garage and can't believe I actually own one. (And don't worry you arm chair internet financial analysts don't need to sh*t on me for buying cash and investing since I have tons of investments already.) Anyway this ended up being way too long of a post, but anybody reading please keep working smarter and don't stray too far from your dream, as it can be a reality as long as you put in the work.
@@mrlong6267 Thanks bro! And yeah that's dope, both the cars you mentioned are timeless classics. And funny those were also cars I wish I had when I was younger!
@@soapa4279 i bought a new car, in my situation i sadly couldnt wait for something i really wanted but i also didnt HAVE to buy new ( not that i can afford to buy outright, but thats what 100 year loans are for amirite). Even with covid and all that i was able to get a 22 civic. I guess while its not my dream car im proud of the fact that a kid my age who came from a poor family can attain something like that. Its kinda inspiring me that theres people of all ages who never loose that dream and it kinda gives me hope that ill be able to have what i want.
@@insertname941 Right on bro, congrats on the Civic! And yes, always remembering to live within our means and appreciating what you do have, and not worry too much about what you don't have. And yes, one day if you just keep sticking to your plan, be wise with your money, you can eventually get whatever car you want. My oldest brother told me to get something you love now, because you can't take it with you when you die. So enjoy while you can.
The tip of "being realistic" is something I learned when I was in college. When I was younger (13), the dream car was a 1992-1999 Nissan GT-R. Then the car got hyped as I was growing up, now the prices to buy and maintain them are ridiculous. So at the age of 21, dream car then became an Evo, then those got really expensive. The funny thing is I bought my first 90's Honda civic around that time, and the car really grew on me. Now the dream car is An RSX type-S (trying to get a decent one before those get stupid expensive too). I just find it funny that the older I got, the less I wanted the more "hyped-up" cars. I guess I'd realized that I just wanted something that I could have fun with, that's reliable and wouldn't cost me an arm/leg to fix if something breaks.
Reliable and not costing an arm/leg, sounds like you might want a 86 or BRZ. Those are great fun cars that are relatively cheap, and obviously the aftermarket support is huge.
@@LazyElectron407 I’m in the same boat with the Infiniti Q50 3.0t. Want it so badly but it’s going to take a few more months even though I’ve been waiting for a year already because the prices shot up (Covid and has the same motor as the new Z) but that K20 can make as much power hell even more than the Q50! Yet unlike the Q, it has the current aftermarket to turn it into that monster that the K20 really is. Really great car!
@@LazyElectron407 Ah yeah, a K20A with a K24 bottom is pretty damn powerful. I had a 2002 RSX Type-S in my younger days, and with bolt-ons and a Hondata tune, I was able to keep up or gap stock EVO's and STI's.
this comment, i like it, i have to be real with myself, can i buy an e46 m3 yeah, cani afford to maintain it properly? probably not, or at least with my horrible spending habits that i need to control
Last week, I passed my driver's license test first try. Almost immediately after leaving the DMV afterwards, there was an Evo X driving nearby, my #1 dream car. It was a sign! One day...one day
Hey man! Congratz! I've owned my Evo X just over a year now, and it took a lot of time to get into it but it was the best decision I've made (I love it). I was lucky enough to find one bone stock except for an intake, and in pristine condition. If you keep your mind focused and put away any spare cash and look around with patience, I'm sure you'll find one my friend! Just watch out for those clapped ones haha
So many people saved up for their dream cars only to have the pandemic happen and the sports car market inflated to the point they need almost double what they thought. Then it begs the question, should you just have pulled the trigger and dealt with the high payment, or delayed a build just to secure the car? Should you do that now? That would be a more interesting video.
Same, I was in the market for a viper until inflated pandemic prices...now I'm waiting for prices to come down or have to buy something else and hope it doesn't disappoint
Just bought a mk5 Supra last month I been saving up ever since the mk5 dropped and bought it out straight cash. Took around 2 years of saving up and not going out to eat and not buying fancy stuff. Definitely worth it I have my dream car now. It’s all comes down to determination. I hope everyone gets their dream car if you are reading this!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Tip for buying your dream car: Be Realistic for your salary. For example, Im in high school and make $19,500 a year. My current dream car is an Acrura Integra GSR if you make 200,000 a year push for something nicer. Do what you can comfortably
A tip I learned through experience: go to car shows and become friends with the people that are in the community of a cars you want to buy. That way if one of them is selling or someone they know is, you’re the first person they’ll call.
I definitely agree with getting a fun affordable car until you can get your dream car. My dream car is a 1970 Dodge Charger, if you couldn't tell by my profile pic, but as a graduate student I can't afford $50k for one, but you know what I can afford, a 1966 AMC Marlin that I just picked up on February! It is a very cool car that I got for a little under $4k and it has taught me a lot about working on older cars! And I bought it in running and driving condition btw 😁 It is a great way for me to have fun with a classic car until I can actually afford the one I want!
I'm 29 and I'm now content with the cars I have and have had. But the beginning was rough. Borrow cars through high school and had a used rental 4cyl avenger through college. Since then I've had a 2014 mustang, 2017 tacoma lifted with 33s and now a 2021 wrx. The having the chepa car up front made this possible
•Definitely look at cars that are dated 5-7 years old in order to take advantage of depreciation especially for luxury cars. •Payment isn’t all that matters for car loans, anything beyond a 4 year car loan greatly increases the amount of interest you’ll pay on the loan overall. •Buy/sell private party if possible. •In regards to a car in the meantime, purchase a beater that is nearly at the end of its lifecycle for a few thousand while saving up for your dream car. You can save on insurance if you buy the car outright by carrying only liability. It’s also unlikely that it will depreciate much beyond its initial purchase price if it’s old enough.
I had 2 dream cars while I was a poor college student struggling to make ends meet: s2k and e46m3. 20 years later I own both cars sitting in my garage and a Lexus ls430 and rx350. Got one for every occasion. Finally I’m done …for now 👍🏻
I’m glad y’all dropped this video because I actually watched videos like this to help me save. I watch a lot of budgeting and financial videos as guides. I’m currently saving for a C7 Z06 and Ive been putting half sometimes way more than half my check every week to the side. Then I put a smaller amount to the side just incase anything happens to my current car. And the rest I use for bills and essentials to last me till my next check. I started this process in late January, my goal is 20K for a down payment and I’m at 12K. My current car is pretty fun so you’re definitely right about not going crazy while saving for something fun to drive
My attainable dream car is the Lexus ISF, specifically 2012-14 models. Funny enough it became my dream car after buying my 1st car, an 08 IS250 which I'm still driving today
Dream car is an r35 Gtr I know it’s the typical 14 year old dream car but I watched that car get unveiled and then put into need for speed prostreet as a prototype car and I fell in love ever since , my car now is a all motor k24 civic si that I’m having fun with currently and I wanna keep it forever next to my Gtr
As a daily driver, saving money and kepting the equity in the car you're buying a Honda or Toyota economy car. That you wont do any mods to, just maintain and save your money
@@ismaelgomez2158 I guess. It really depends on what people can afford and what's available. There are fun cars that are reliable and barely depreciated. Like Miata.
I wanted an S15 Silvia since I was in year 7, the first year of highschool down here in Aus. Around 8 years later I have one in my driveway, best looking car ever imo.
I'm sitting here reading these comments and am so thankful I attained my dream car 25 years ago a 97 NSX. Its sitting in my garage. Yes I'm old and retired. All I can add to this is work hard there is no short cuts. Also remember to take care of your other needs like family and your ultimate reality that you will have to retire someday. Remember your dream car is your hobby not your life. Life is a balancing act.
Living in a 3rd world country where cars are almost double the price of what's being sold in the US. I learned to mellow down my dream car. Before I wanted a Mustang GT but the price was so unattainable at Php3.5M, now I'm saving up for a manual BRZ or MX-5 RF which is the price of a top of the line mid sized SUV.
My dream car is a 1st gen Acura/Honda nsx and I know for a fact that the value on those will sky rocket in a few years. Even the s2k’s are going up in price.
one tip that i got is to learn how to work on your own vehicle to save a lot more money. There are too many videos here on youtube that will show you how to do things correctly for you to be worried about messing it up. Also what im currently doing is buying cheap cars, modding them, then selling them for a higher price. Then use some of the profits to buy a more expensive car, mod it, sell it, then repeat the process until I get my dream car. This will also teach you how to work on several different types of platforms and help introduce you to so many communities
Hundreds of comments on here, and you're the only one who mentioned this. And totally agree! I've saved literally thousands of dollars over the course of my life working on my own cars and my family's. Even learning basic simple stuff like changing an exhaust, struts, oil changes, tire rotations etc. etc. that stealerships charge too much damn money for, can save you every $ towards the next car.
For those financing 10k or less, consider a personal loan. You get a slightly worse interest rate but then you can pay for the car cash and own it outright
For anyone reading this, what he means pay for the car cash with a personal loan, is that the bank doesn't put a lien on your car like when you get an auto loan. That way you have the title on hand and can do whatever you want with it.
10k and less for cars that you're getting at the dealership or private party, personal loans can help a lot as long as you understand the APR that comes with what you're approved for. Bonus if you can get one where the banks don't penalize you for paying the loan off early.
I recently acquired one of my dream cars, a 1984 C4 Corvette, at 25. I got lucky and got it for cheap. Just about everything works and it’s a little rough around the edges. For those whose dream car is older, wait for an opportunity while keeping your eyes peeled. I found the corvette with a for sale sign and a phone number on it. Now I’m considering selling my prerunner truck to get a clean C3 Corvette
I took mental notes watching this video Gels. Down payment on any car in my opinion I never done that before so I don't know how hard that is. Someday I will own my dream car before most of us have to drive electric vehicles.
I cut down on my spending, worked 12 hrs a day at least 5 days a week on night shift for 15 months on top of saving for a wedding/honeymoon I was able to save 10k to put down on my Golf R. I was also able to buy it before the big market inflation so not upside down even now. I feel for anyone who is buying a car now, because once market levels out, anyone who bought a car during this crazy ass market is gonna be extremely upside down.
I have 2. Dodge Charger and viper. Have the charger. Walked to work every day for 8 months to get that car. Saved every penny I could. Not walking anymore but a viper is still the goal
My dream car is an S2000. I had been saving up to buy one and now they’re too far out of my reach to buy. The more money I save, the more their value goes up :(
Great video, some really valid points here. The points that I use: save as much as you can, limit unnecessary expenses where you can, be realistic with your goals, buy the car you can afford (especially with maintenance and fuel etc.), wait for the right car to come. Another is with education, finding a job or career that's lucrative financially or help you get your car at a discounted rate. I'm still working on these myself, but def lessons we can all be reminded of
Sold my 2017 Impreza a few months ago to pay for over half of the cost for my current dream car with a Mk 7.5 Golf R. Stepping stone for maybe my next dream car being an RS6 WAGOOOOOONNNNN.
I wanted to a gt500 but feel like it's out of my league and gt350 which is more reasonable also for being dailyable tbh Plus I hope there some good/well maintained shelbys left when I'm old enough...
1955 Chrysler 300C Boi!! Call me ancient but I love classics and have a built donor car to keep it modern when I have enough money to snatch my dream car!
I got to have 1 of my dream cars for 2 years before I got sick of the upkeep. S197 GT500. It was a loud mean annoying thing. I loved it. Could smoke 4th at 40MPH
My dream car has to be a 2004 mustang mystichrome cobra. They’re like 30-40k right now which isn’t terrible, but by the time I could afford one as a “Sunday driver” it’ll probably be 50-60k. I have owned a 2000 v6 (I know) for the past 5 years and wouldn’t trade it for the world. I did recently start two projects with my dad and brother, a 1978 king cobra mustang and a 1976 cobra ii. Maybe they’ll be worth something in the future when they’re fixed up and that would put a couple of drops in the bucket toward the dream car
My dream car was a 350z but now it’s a 370z and i cant wait until i buy it. I’m in high school right now looking for a side job to get some extra cash to save up for maybe both cars a 350 and 370 and i hope whoever is reading this gets their dream car/cars too
Man I want a Type R FK8 so badly too. Hopefully life will be kind to me and get me that chance to own one of my dream cars, it's just so hard to be a teenager with drawing commissions as a side hustle for extra cash
Only took me about 6 months to get my dream car, VN in blue. As soon as I saw it I wanted it. Wanted a focus rs but something was missing, it was the feeling that I can't modify it that much before it is a hassle to drive, also seating position belive it or not. And weight 3,450 lb compared to 2,996 (north America vn with lighter tires and battery) ya awd is fun but the vn just felt right.
If you’re going to save money and want faster results. Invest into a Roth IRA that’s putting money away that’s already taxed and you’ll gain 7% interest or more per year. Then cash out when you’re ready
I just want a 1992 corolla ae92 gti with a redtop 4A GE in it. this thing seems kinda cheap for people who have an average monthly salary, the price is around $2800 - $3000 or 40ish million rupiah for now. but with just $140 in my bank and 7 dollars per month wages for helping my mom food business, i think that's a bit hard to obtain. maybe I can buy it after i graduate and have a job. but at that time i have the money to pay for, the price of the car is gonna skyrocketed. cuz that thing had a good engine and performance, and people know it. i'm sure the price will go up little by little by the time i collecting the money.
Make sure if you go the finance route make sure your monthly payment is 10-15% of your monthly income, and try and make your loan duration NO LONGER than 60 months, the smaller the better
>_< my dream car is a nissan s14 kouki and like I'm 15 by the time I get a job next year they be like 50k and I'll be making like 15k a year working for construction or whatever fastfood place I can do... SADNESS I HAVE NO MONEY
Being 25 and starting at 15 with an eclipse I can say I have achieved all I wanted a 2014 Mustang GT and a 2020 MK5 Supra took time and dedication but it’s definitely possible
Im aiming to get a Dodge Challenger for my first car and I’m 17 I don’t have much cash saved up but I do have a steady income and can finance so would you recommend this?
What is one of your dream cars?

280z nissan fairlady(unobtainable) or Lexus RC 350 F-Sport(obtainable)...Maybe even a 2020 GR Supra.

As a daily driver, saving money and kepting the equity in the car you're buying a Honda or Toyota economy car. That you wont do any mods to, just maintain and save your money
What fun is that?
@@jessepotter365 better than breaking down every other week. Plus 6-6 Honda’s come with 271 hp ( accord ) so that’s pretty fun
@@ismaelgomez2158 I guess. It really depends on what people can afford and what's available. There are fun cars that are reliable and barely depreciated. Like Miata.
I wanted an S15 Silvia since I was in year 7, the first year of highschool down here in Aus. Around 8 years later I have one in my driveway, best looking car ever imo.
I'm sitting here reading these comments and am so thankful I attained my dream car 25 years ago a 97 NSX. Its sitting in my garage. Yes I'm old and retired. All I can add to this is work hard there is no short cuts. Also remember to take care of your other needs like family and your ultimate reality that you will have to retire someday. Remember your dream car is your hobby not your life. Life is a balancing act.
Living in a 3rd world country where cars are almost double the price of what's being sold in the US. I learned to mellow down my dream car. Before I wanted a Mustang GT but the price was so unattainable at Php3.5M, now I'm saving up for a manual BRZ or MX-5 RF which is the price of a top of the line mid sized SUV.
My dream car is a 1st gen Acura/Honda nsx and I know for a fact that the value on those will sky rocket in a few years. Even the s2k’s are going up in price.
one tip that i got is to learn how to work on your own vehicle to save a lot more money. There are too many videos here on youtube that will show you how to do things correctly for you to be worried about messing it up. Also what im currently doing is buying cheap cars, modding them, then selling them for a higher price. Then use some of the profits to buy a more expensive car, mod it, sell it, then repeat the process until I get my dream car. This will also teach you how to work on several different types of platforms and help introduce you to so many communities
Hundreds of comments on here, and you're the only one who mentioned this. And totally agree! I've saved literally thousands of dollars over the course of my life working on my own cars and my family's. Even learning basic simple stuff like changing an exhaust, struts, oil changes, tire rotations etc. etc. that stealerships charge too much damn money for, can save you every $ towards the next car.
For those financing 10k or less, consider a personal loan. You get a slightly worse interest rate but then you can pay for the car cash and own it outright
For anyone reading this, what he means pay for the car cash with a personal loan, is that the bank doesn't put a lien on your car like when you get an auto loan. That way you have the title on hand and can do whatever you want with it.
10k and less for cars that you're getting at the dealership or private party, personal loans can help a lot as long as you understand the APR that comes with what you're approved for.
Bonus if you can get one where the banks don't penalize you for paying the loan off early.
I recently acquired one of my dream cars, a 1984 C4 Corvette, at 25. I got lucky and got it for cheap. Just about everything works and it’s a little rough around the edges. For those whose dream car is older, wait for an opportunity while keeping your eyes peeled. I found the corvette with a for sale sign and a phone number on it. Now I’m considering selling my prerunner truck to get a clean C3 Corvette
I recommend no kids modding there first car especially if you spent less than 5 grand for it
I took mental notes watching this video Gels. Down payment on any car in my opinion I never done that before so I don't know how hard that is. Someday I will own my dream car before most of us have to drive electric vehicles.
I cut down on my spending, worked 12 hrs a day at least 5 days a week on night shift for 15 months on top of saving for a wedding/honeymoon I was able to save 10k to put down on my Golf R. I was also able to buy it before the big market inflation so not upside down even now. I feel for anyone who is buying a car now, because once market levels out, anyone who bought a car during this crazy ass market is gonna be extremely upside down.
That’s when they sell to get back what they owe still and we get the cars on the cheap(ish) side of things?
@@Saponiboy227 I think you're misunderstand what he's saying. When the market levels out the cars value will plummet
I have 2. Dodge Charger and viper. Have the charger. Walked to work every day for 8 months to get that car. Saved every penny I could. Not walking anymore but a viper is still the goal
This video better get millions of views. Literally no one talks about how they do it. How to afford “The dream car”
Most important TIP
PATIENCE, please come back soon
Got into my dream car 1.5 months ago! Absolutely love it! Can’t wait for the mods to come 😎
My dream car is an S2000. I had been saving up to buy one and now they’re too far out of my reach to buy. The more money I save, the more their value goes up :(
Sorry to hear bro
Good luck tho
Great video, some really valid points here. The points that I use: save as much as you can, limit unnecessary expenses where you can, be realistic with your goals, buy the car you can afford (especially with maintenance and fuel etc.), wait for the right car to come. Another is with education, finding a job or career that's lucrative financially or help you get your car at a discounted rate. I'm still working on these myself, but def lessons we can all be reminded of
Funny how you put the Nissan Z in the thumbnail that’s exactly what me and I’m sure a lot of other guys are saving for haha
Sold my 2017 Impreza a few months ago to pay for over half of the cost for my current dream car with a Mk 7.5 Golf R. Stepping stone for maybe my next dream car being an RS6 WAGOOOOOONNNNN.
I would really like a Toyota Chaser JZX100, and I'm looking for a new job so that I can keep saving for it.
Aiming for a S15 in my garage.
Gonna leave this here until I get it.
Yeah I want a mustang Shelby GT500 that's my dream car. But I've been saving for a couple years and I'm not there yet.
Hope you get it sooner than expected 🤘
I wanted to a gt500 but feel like it's out of my league and gt350 which is more reasonable also for being dailyable tbh
Plus I hope there some good/well maintained shelbys left when I'm old enough...
Glad I’m watching this I just waisted my money on a PS5 but now I’m trying to save up for a 2004 350Z I only have $800
1955 Chrysler 300C Boi!! Call me ancient but I love classics and have a built donor car to keep it modern when I have enough money to snatch my dream car!
Winning that s2k would be a great start:)
After college, I wanna get a scat charger or a mark 3 Supra 😮💨
I got to have 1 of my dream cars for 2 years before I got sick of the upkeep. S197 GT500. It was a loud mean annoying thing. I loved it. Could smoke 4th at 40MPH
My dream car has to be a 2004 mustang mystichrome cobra. They’re like 30-40k right now which isn’t terrible, but by the time I could afford one as a “Sunday driver” it’ll probably be 50-60k. I have owned a 2000 v6 (I know) for the past 5 years and wouldn’t trade it for the world. I did recently start two projects with my dad and brother, a 1978 king cobra mustang and a 1976 cobra ii. Maybe they’ll be worth something in the future when they’re fixed up and that would put a couple of drops in the bucket toward the dream car
My dream car was a 350z but now it’s a 370z and i cant wait until i buy it. I’m in high school right now looking for a side job to get some extra cash to save up for maybe both cars a 350 and 370 and i hope whoever is reading this gets their dream car/cars too
Just recently found a dream car that I never knew they actually existed. BMW E60 M5......Can I get a "So You Want" on that 🤣
Photography is great! I made around $700 in 3months and had a blast
holy shit bro, im so fking motivated right now, 3 more months and ill be able to buy my dream fairlady z
Even "cheap" cars are expensive now.......
Obtained one of my dream cars (fk8) at the age of 22! Anything is possible if you put your mind to it! next will be f80 m3 & a m5 comp!
Man I want a Type R FK8 so badly too. Hopefully life will be kind to me and get me that chance to own one of my dream cars, it's just so hard to be a teenager with drawing commissions as a side hustle for extra cash
@@hachiroku7999 just stay focused & you will be able to obtain it! Good luck
@@392dusto6 Thanks man, praying my future self is smiling at a Red Type R on his driveway rn lmao.
i just want the background song at the intro
I have multiple cars to choose for my dream car. MK5 Supra , M6, C7 vette , 66 chevelle , huracan, S15,,,, I could go on for days #missionpegasus
lol i just want an E39 wish you guys could make So You Want an E39, i know you guys made one of m5 e39 but theres so much more to just e39 non M
My dream car is an S15. I suck at buying big things like that with cash. I want to pay cash for it, that's my goal.
i popped off at 4:27 seeing the 4th gen lude lol
Dream car thread
My dream car is a carbon black metallic BMW E46 M3, with the Cinnamon w/Nappa Leather interior.
Only took me about 6 months to get my dream car, VN in blue. As soon as I saw it I wanted it. Wanted a focus rs but something was missing, it was the feeling that I can't modify it that much before it is a hassle to drive, also seating position belive it or not. And weight 3,450 lb compared to 2,996 (north America vn with lighter tires and battery) ya awd is fun but the vn just felt right.
I would say my dream car is to try and make a daily 240sx or 180sx and have a evo x
What about saving up to import a car o.o ?
If you’re going to save money and want faster results. Invest into a Roth IRA that’s putting money away that’s already taxed and you’ll gain 7% interest or more per year. Then cash out when you’re ready
For me I'll just like a 03 0r 4 Mercury Marauder by Mercury Grand Marquis LS Ultimate Edition one two reliable Landyachtz
Lol I got to many dream cars and trucks that I wish I could have lol the main dream car 70s camaro dream truck 55 chevy step side
That last tip:
I like this…. But this is brilliant
*insert meme*
mk5 supra😫
New intro is sweeeet
Thank you fam! 🙏
Yeah, just sucks when you have been saving for that dream car all your life and suddenly the value quadruples and you can't get shit lol
My dream car is a foxbody k20 turbo swap 🤙
What about building your dream car/truck?
I just want a 1992 corolla ae92 gti with a redtop 4A GE in it. this thing seems kinda cheap for people who have an average monthly salary, the price is around $2800 - $3000 or 40ish million rupiah for now. but with just $140 in my bank and 7 dollars per month wages for helping my mom food business, i think that's a bit hard to obtain. maybe I can buy it after i graduate and have a job. but at that time i have the money to pay for, the price of the car is gonna skyrocketed. cuz that thing had a good engine and performance, and people know it. i'm sure the price will go up little by little by the time i collecting the money.
I should've saved for an s2k when they were 10k used 😔
Already bought my dream car a 370z 👌😁😎
gr86 is the dream.
as an attainable, but overall the r35 GTR.
Dream car: 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege. My problem is that i have narcolepsy and cataplexy so im not allowed to drive
I was more looking for, what websites I can look at to find my dream car.
I want a 2008 Audi r8, just barely in the realm of possibility for me
funny cause that's exactly how it is rn with my financial situation.
Oh you mean saving for my dream house, ahh i get it
i want a Chevrolet Chevette!!!
That’s bad ass!
B8.5 Audi S4 and I am so close I just need to find the right spec
Make sure if you go the finance route make sure your monthly payment is 10-15% of your monthly income, and try and make your loan duration NO LONGER than 60 months, the smaller the better
This video was so well timed lmao, I really want a Golf GTI but I still got like 25k to save 😭
Really reasonable and good tips!
My dream car is a 2012-14 Lexus ISF OR a 2019 Lexus RCF 😅
all great points but that white rc was all i was paying attention to 🥵
good advice
3000gt VR-4 some day
R32 gtr I’m coming for you!

Tips for making your dream build next? 🤔
I can't let it slide that he said "Bugatti huayra"
Being 25 and starting at 15 with an eclipse I can say I have achieved all I wanted a 2014 Mustang GT and a 2020 MK5 Supra took time and dedication but it’s definitely possible
What do you do for work
Nissan Z 2022 cuz it looks like a 240 modernized 😎😎
Im aiming to get a Dodge Challenger for my first car and I’m 17 I don’t have much cash saved up but I do have a steady income and can finance so would you recommend this?
Shoot I’m just trying to win mine (s2k). Pick me my lord!!!
