I just got my driving license last Friday 😂 Maybe I'll get my own in two years or so.. Thank you because you uploaded a video I really need before finding my first manual car!
It’s funny you post this today because I just got hired for my first job in hopes to buy myself a car lol Edit: I've been getting this question a lot, so I'll write this edit. I ended up buying a 2002 Toyota Camry Solara V6 5spd Manual! Got a great deal on it too
Good luck Dude! Try and save $5-6,500k if you can, will save you alot on repairs vs cheaper cars. You can find ok stuff at 3k but its harder and you gotta know what your looking at. Used prices are kinda high right now with covid, you'll get more car for you money if you can save for a year.
@@ironreed2654 I want a Toyota mr2 unbelievably bad but I just don’t think it’ll be able to handle the Colorado snow, and I can’t think of something that will be able to handle the snow and still be fun or at least cool
@@cadenkillgore6244 oh, Jesus. Had one friend in high-school (Wisconsin) with one, you'll either die or become the best driver ever. They get hot also, he melted 2 wire looms and was always fixing it.
@@ironreed2654 well I have done a whole lot of research on liftoff oversteer and really you just have to understand that you can’t take your foot off the grass really fast while cornering. That goes for any mid engine car too if you just stay on the throttle then it won’t happen. Also if you take your hands off the wheel when the snap oversteer starts the car just kinda fixes itself lol
Do a video tittled "10 things to watch out before buying a used car " So that people who are about to buy a car can know so they don't get "scammed" or lied to
Two real simple things you can do: Number one is check the fluids, usually a good indication if someone took care of the car or not. Number two is hold your hand at the end of the exhaust with the car running (make sure it's a cold start). If you see oil on your hand it could be the pistons, sleeves, or in the case of a Subaru probably a head gasket. There are also forums for just about every car on the market and if your buying something common the known faults will be well documented.
@@chomdaim3542 It may be a Cliche but for a daily driver that you can run into the ground you can't beat Toyota or Honda. As long as you keep up with regular maintenance they will run like a top.
My first car I bought and am paying for right now is a BRZ, and man it’s so worth it! Always smile ear to ear whenever I see her parked and makes me realize why I work so hard!
It always feels good buying something that YOU worked for. I’m sure it’s nice having rich parents and getting given a car but nothing will come close to the feeling of buying your first car and driving it home for the first time. Just bought my first car today. Definitely not close to a BRZ but I bought it, with money that I earned.
Not only did getting my first car take a lot of patience, but I was also getting shit from my family. None of them are carguys, and when showed them that I wanted a charger r/t, they genuinely laughed at me. That was 8 months ago. I bought that Dodge charger r/t and I love it to death
this is exactly what i need lol, my first car was a 1999 pontiac grand am gt and i got it for 1k, it was fun driving around but that baby was beat to shit with almost over 238k miles on it lol, i recently got a job and im trying to save up towards a 2015-16 ford mustang ecoboost before i go on campus for my junior year of college next summer, so im boutta really have to hustle this year, wish me luck!!
@@SHFT13 that’s me right now. I’m looking at pontiac firebirds and I’m very concerned bc I see good prices but I’m worried about the long run. I don’t want to drop money when I get paid $11/hr and have the car break down and I can’t do anything about it 😂 But I was originally looking at newer cars which is definitely not a good idea
My parents wouldn’t let me get anything cool so now I have a 2016 veloster. And it’s genuinely really nice and is fun to drive, plus it’s not a money pit. So I’m kinda happy I listened to them for once
Lol I had the opposite experience. Listened to my parents and got a cheap beater. Two cars later I decided leasing was the way to go for me. Now that I have enough cash to support a daily I want a project car Different strokes for different folks I suppose
Lexus SC300 owner, let me tell you. As a first car, this car is amazing. But the problems that come with it... I'm just someone with bad luck in general, so fixing cars up myself, something always happens, but they're reliable, and timeless beauties that I adore!
My first car was a 2015 BMW 435 and I honestly regretted it long term because of the insurance, continued payments to the bank, and storage... now I just bought a Datsun 280zx (yes the unpopular one) and love it.
8th gen civic si. Cheap, parts available, very easy to learn on, huge aftermarket scene with thousands out there willing to give advice, and when i went FBO and tune it honestly had enough pickup to be fun. I don’t care what you think nothing beats banging 9,000 rpms in a 6 speed civic making 240 whp.
It’s a such a great timing that after watching this video , I actually went out and got myself a 2011 VW CC (also called the Passat CC here in Malaysia) Sport trim. Been eyeing on it for years. Thanks Fitment!
I just bought my first car, a manual 02 Bugeye WRX and she's been very good so far! Just clocked 1000 miles last night cruising around and doing backhill runs with some friends.
I think having a affordable dream car is definitely helpful. For me, that affordable dream car is the R33 GTR, and even than they’re still quite far our of my range, like i can afford to pay like 100K for that.
Gosh, its so weird hearing someone on the internet mention Taco John's because it feels like whenever I mention it to any of my friends, none of them have even heard of it!
First car was an 88 Thunderbird with the 5.0, so much fun to drive. A family friend had 5 star Mustang rims that fit it, so I stuck them on there just because they were available to me.
Got a fiesta st mk7 as my first car, absolutely love the thing and I think for the price one of the best options I had seen as a new WRX is basically about 130k here in the Netherlands because of emissions regulations, also just ordered a new set of wheels, can't wait for them to arrive
about a month ago I bought a wrx wagon for my first car and have been fixing it up. Its been hard not being able to drive it yet, but I'll be able to this weekend so I'm pretty excited
I got a 03 Wrx wagon as my first car and let me tell you it’s worth it. Everyone always calls it an outback or just a weird wagon but once they go for a ride they get what’s up with the wagon mafia.
My first car was a 2001 audi tt quattro. It was when I changed the clutch that I realized not all cars need to be all-drive, or as some people say "front wheel drive with rear wheeled assist,".
That’s my dream car ngl I am wanting that as my first car but I don’t think I could get enough money to pay for the work to be done within even the first year since the cars are now 5k for 150k miles…
@@stahr26 it is a great car, it isn't the fastest thing but it sure is fun. I bought the car for $2200 2 years ago. Replaced the clutch, fusebox, alternator, shocks, etc. I think honestly (if your doing the work yourself) I only have about $3800 in it, which includes buying it. Honestly parts aren't that bad for it as the car is basically a 2 door golf . It's just finding specific parts for it, such as body parts, that make it expensive.
I just saw a jetta with a fitment industries windshield banner and what looked to be artisa wheels, and now I'm watching a new fitment industries upload. Today is a good day
My first car I bought was my 2005 Ranger (which I bought used in 2007, and it only had 6500 miles on it). In 2016, I bought a 2012 Escape, and relegated the Ranger to a spare vehicle. In 2018, I traded in the Escape for a new Escape and finally sold the Ranger to a kid in the neighborhood who needed a first car. I still have the '18 Escape, but have considered trading it in for either a '24 Escape or Santa Fe.
I had options and I probably chose the more expensive one(in the long run). The Mazda RX-8 $4,500 + $1,800 to get it fully healthy. Now the real transformation begins
I just did the same this past fall 2021! I've always loved these cars and can't wait to finaly pull it out of storage soon and finaly actualy get to enjoy it now! but I'm glad to see I'm not alone :) hope you enjoy yours as much as I hope to enjoy mine.
@@samkuehl9609 got about $2,500 in parts about to go into it in 2 weeks. HKS Hi-Power Single Exit exhaust Non-resonated/Catless midpipe K&N Typhoon intake SOHN Kit And I'm changing all the fluids. Full Synthetic oil for the engine, transmission and differential
when i got my first car (2004 acura rsx type s) everyone said i shouldn’t have got it. that it was mid/ugly. but when i lowered it, got wheels on did body work and fixed up the interior aswell as put in door speakers n stuff over 4 years. after i sold it with a blown transmission… everyone told me “oh u shouldn’t have sold it, that car was so fire” bla bla blah. so moral of my story is 1. get what YOU want. and 2. don’t sell ur first car u built…. you’ll miss it n regret it everyday u wake up n don’t have it on your driveway. be safe out there boys
Budget Jumping is what you should never forget about, focus on spending the least on the vehicle honestly because all the rest that comes with buying a car such as insurance titles and etc and your own personal money need to be in check aswell
First car was a Chevy S10 with a V6 out of a bigger c10. Payed $700 for it, year later i bent the frame drifting in the rain.... best $700 spent and best truck I ever had and best lesson learned. Currently have a ‘14 crosstrek as a daily and camp car
Currently watching this great vid after I bought my first car just over a month ago and passed my test in January. My first car is a Baby Blue Audi A4 B7 got it for a good price and payed off my insurance for the year so very happy with that. When I was B7 hunting I found some stupid prices for ridiculous mileage near my area that were on sale. And I found my baby after 5 days of hunting. Thing is that it was over 100km away so I asked the owner if he could meet me halfway and he was very nice to do so. He was an old dude (bonus 😁), and the car has been treating me well ever since. Just getting a few minor engine problems fixed. Good few mods on the way. Moral of the story is dont jump the gun when you see a car you like and want keep looking. There’s always a better one for a better price. Just make sure the engine is good 😌👍🏾.
Great choice! My first car I also got this year was an A4 B8.5 Quattro. I love how practical these are, while still being upscale and affordable (under 12 grand for a really nice one). 4-doors, decently roomy and upscale interior, and a surprisingly large trunk. Especially since these A4's offer modern features of electronic assists like blind spot monitoring and backup camera, heated and electronic multi-zone adjustable seats, keyless entry, along with AWD and traction control (fantastic in the winter). I also like how Audi is more of an understated brand that's not as pretentious as Mercedes or BMWs, while still offering similar levels of quality. My other options for 4-door AWD sedans were Subarus, which were either too expensive, or old/thrashed with nowhere near the same amount of features as these Audi's for the price.
I'm still wanting a rx7 fc for my first car (I'm 24). I understand it's a high maintenance car especially with it being almost 40 years old, and I'm honestly okay with all I do to it for like 6 months to a year being maintenance it's over due for, because that sounds like an adventure to me. I guess I still get to make it scream even if it's mostly stock na 13b. 😃
@@JosueHernandez-nu5cp I have no clue, if you willing to put up with it then go ahead and try. Just be ware you may have to fight rust welded suspension parts, so in that case you probably want a slide hammer, sledge hammer, mallet (wrapped up sledge hammer works), maybe an impact wrench, and pb blaster or similar penetrating fluid in addition to your other obvious tools. Ohh protip don't try to remove really tight 6 spline bolts with a 6 spline wrench because you're gambling on if you strip the corners of the head down.
I absolutely LOVE the second gen Subaru Legacy sedan. It was my third car, first was a 1988 Nissan Sentra 2 door 4 speed, second was a 1988 Buick Lesabre with the 3.8 V6. The Sentra was very slow but it took a beating and made smiles, the buick was barely faster than a D16 EG Hatch (no v-tech) to 60, but somehow topped out around 145. But the Legacy.... That was my girl.
I needed a sporty daily I can also go on road trips with and bring my dog. I wanted it to have some modern luxury but also not break the bank. Got a 2018 Focus ST 👌
My first car was a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S and bought it myself in June 2019 for about $3200. I then sold it and got a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T Sport in October 2020 with the help of my pops (only credit-wise; I paid insurance, down payement, and monthly payments myself). I then traded in the 1.5T for a 2020 2.0T in December 2021 (The bank thought it was better to just buy off the 1.5T since it was more convenient for them considering how not great my interest was at the time of getting the 1.5T (16%), nice no debt there). This was my first time doing it on my own without any credit bumps or having my pops co-sign. I'm currently doing well with the payments and I'll be doing quite a bit of cosmetic (maybe performance) modding since I'll be having it for 3 years.
Got my dream car basically already :) a 2007 Hyundai Tiburon GT, got it for cheaper than you would imagine, is the most reliable car within my whole family, gets a lot of looks with some simple body and wheel work and a cold air intake and a full cat back exhaust.. hell i've even gapped a couple other competitors before like a BRZ. Its a super fun car to drive, of course it's not a ferrari but that's what makes it special.. no one knows what it is.
Just have confidence! My dad’s first manual car was an Integra (i believe this or some classic Porsche, he had a lot of manual cars). He didn’t know manual and drove it from the dealership to home. It was a 45 minute drive and he made it safe n sound
Just watch RUclips videos, I currently don’t got my permit and don’t got a family with a car, but I been learning a lot from youtube and I feel mad confident driving manual
So idk how this affects insurance and stuff but if you buy a car from an individual agree that its being sold for 1k. Even if you pay more for it, the dmv will see that you paid 1k for it and tax you based off that. Had you put anything more, youll pay more for taxes. I didnt realize this until i was buying a car from a dude. Paid 100$ for something i paid 6k for.
My first car was a SN95 mustang, base model v6 my parents bought for 1k. I loved that thing as a teen. Then I got a '86 Nissan Sentra for 2k, that grew on me even though it barely did 65mph but it got almost 40mpg. Thing was my first manual car I owned, and had a carburetor. Now I'm looking at getting myself a fun car again since I can afford to put time into it as an adult
First car: 2.2 liter 4 cylinder chevy s10. No regrets at all, it was perfect for teaching me how to drive a slow car fast. Second car: 6.1 liter 8 cylinder chrysler 300 srt8. No regrets at all, very fast, very reliable. First car I bought at $800. Second one was $5500.
That’s extremely overpriced yes it will run till you die but it’s 21 years old and has almost 200k miles maybe if you can get it under 1,400 me personally I would not give more than 1k
Will you get 2.4k dollars of value from it, probably yeah. But is it worth 2.4, I'm not sure. That's a car that is a cheap daily and will treat you well. Go for it!
Another thing to mention, quadruple check the car inside and out in person. Finding out you dont have rear seatbelts and a kinda rusty trunk interior is not fun.
@@isaactourand2562 I thought the is was only used on the 318is and signaled the M42/44 16V engines. But I guess I didn't know everything :) Thanks for the answer!
I can proudly say I have financed a 2015 sti as my first ever purchased car and second car. I will have it payed in 4 years or less. It’s crazy to think 19 nineteen because of good credit I was able to afford my dream car. It just takes hard work kids. Hope I can inspire some one here in this comment section. Just because it seems impossible doesn’t mean it is. Just means work harder.
1)I’m not 100% sure but Go at the end of a month because that’s when the dealership is trying to sell cars more hastily and just get rid of them so you can agree on a better price 2) don’t get emotionally attached to it, and get some leverage on them by finding a different deal and if you disagree you could just say “okay I’ll just go find other deals” making them want to keep you as a customer 3) don’t get up-selled on things you don’t need 4) don’t think about just the price of the car but also at minimum a month’s expenses and insurance etc
This goes to all those newly Enlisted in the military, too. You cant afford the 2020 Mustang GT with 16-22% APR. No matter what your marriage arrangement is.
I’m going to work my first professional job and my parents wanted to ‘help’ me find a car. What they ended up doing was telling me that in a suv, I’m going to get flat tires, run out of gas, can’t haul things in the back, and will flip over in an accident, and will get stuck in the mud. Then they took me to a GMC dealer where I was pressured to like the GMC canyon $48K (over my budget) that has lower fuel economy and about 18K more expensive for a small interior and bed. I plan to move in about a year and I don’t want to have a truck. All I want is an suv, that costs around $33K with good fuel economy. Although they will co-sign, I’ll be making all the payments. They have a different idea of what kind of car I want and I know that they have more experience with cars and ownership than me.
Any car you're interested in, take it to a mechanic for a check over before parting with your money. A $40 pre-purchase inspection could save you a ton of money and hassle if they find things it'll need, to keep it safe to be on the road. I'm a 3rd year apprentice mechanic, and in that time only seen 2 pre-purchase inspections, but have seen a dozen cars that people have just recently bought, that are borderline scrap value. Throwing away $40 is a lot better than buying something for cheap but has $2000+ in missed service items or mechanical issues.
1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Bought it from a guy who was in the middle of restoring it. He worked at a dealership and fell in love with a Hurst Olds 442 that some one had traded in. I paid $1750 for it. It was mechanically sound. BUT the wheels (classic Crager 5 spokes) were not round. Around town it was ok. At extra legal speeds the car would vibrate. The girls loved it though. It was all about the vibration, not the car itself. After about 70 MHP it would smooth out and you'd only be hitting the high spots on the wheels. I only had it for about 8 months until the 1st snow hit the ground. Even with 300 pounds on rock salt in the trunk it was a bitch to drive in the snow. I decided that I enjoyed living too much to attempt to drive that as my daily. I ended up with a 1984 S10 Blazer 4x4.
11:43 My first car was a 1993 Toyota Celica GTI, it had so much rust I fixed a hole in the FR fender with a sponge and some glasfibre putty.. then painted over it, it was so trashed I fixed what I could and sold it when I was like 18.. I got this car when I was 14 and man I miss it so much, there’s nothing like it and even though it probably scrapped by now I just wish I could have it back
I was a bit pressured by my dad to get an automatic 2011 Honda Civic lx sedan, I was happy at first until I started to learn about cars and realized that I could’ve waited for that Subaru sti, after 5 years it’s finally paid off but good thing is that I’m trying to save up for that subi cuz man I’ve been having my eyes on that thing for a very long time
Your dad was just looking out for you. 🙂 Nothing says "I care about you" like wanting you to own a safe, reliable car. Now that you've experienced car ownership, go for that Subaru!
I financed a brand new kia forte. Hated myself, it was boring, cvt, nothing fun. However, I decided to put on an Exhaust, then an intake, added a nice little lip spoiler, added street coilovers, added a rear sway bar, and finally a got new Konig Oversteers, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 (A/S) I LOVE MY CAR NOW, ITS JUST A MOM CAR BUT IT’S MY MOM CAR. I MAKE ALL THE PAYMENTS AND I CAN STILL HAVE FUN IN THE TWISTIES. All the mods made it into a really good car to handle even as an, FF. Also, it’s new, naturally aspirated (which I love) I have nothing to worry about ever. CVT bothered me for a while but it has sport mode, which actually enhances throttle response and is very fun in the twisties. I love it now, so fun to drive. And great on gas!
Practicality, performance and reliability is what I look after. Sedans, hatchbacks and wagons are my favorite types of cars. I do also like pick-up trucks and SUVs but not as much as I like sedans or hatchbacks. Also, I may be a car guy but I'm not really into car modifications. In games, I usually keep my car's appearance stock.
My first car wasn't really much of a choice- was broke, got a family deal, my parents were willing to pay insurance. The 4-cylinder 8th gen Accord isn't really all I wanted in a car- A/T, not sporty, two extra doors. But it sure is everything I need. Efficient, reliable, not underpowered... but not powerful enough to get into trouble.
Thats everything I wanted in my first car , well shit it was one of my dream cars as a kid: however I just bought one for 2.5k and i thought it was in good condition for the price until I looked under the driver side and saw a lot of rust from the rocker panel and under. Im a little bummed out that fixing the rust will put it on the price of just buying one for 7-9k
@@femi8414 Personally I'd rather have had a manual transmission, a coupe, and/or a V6, but for the amount of money I spent ($3k in 2019) I definitely could have ended up with a worse car. The handling may not be on par with a sports car, but I can see why Honda kept the dual wishbone in the front for so long despite costs. And yeah, having to spend that much on repairs sucks. For 9k you could almost get a V6 (well, maybe in 2019 before car prices rose). Personal recommendation: Upgrade the rear sway bar, especially if you got an LX. You can use the rear sway bar (+matching bushings!) from a 2008 TSX (same part but stiffer) or a 2009 TL (different part, still fits, and even stiffer). Perhaps the body roll isn't so abysmal on OEM struts (I'm on Duralast and they're crap), but IMO the TL RSB is the best thing I've done to that car. (Other upgrades being a head unit, speakers, and a powered sub.)
1st car mom helped me with was a '90 Grand Prix, 2nd with help was a '01 Mazda Protege and then strictly purchasing myself was a '93 Z32 300ZX.. Good stuff, fun times >:D
Wanted a 2015 Lexus RCF with 50k miles on it priced at 43k and got a 2015 C7 vette with 56k miles on it and got it for 35 thousand! I think I did pretty damn good 😂
First car was a 2016 Ford Focus SE hatchback. Not the coolest car ever and was originally going to save for something cooler but My grandparents business was getting rid of it a bunch of these and offered me it for free. But the catch was the previous driver Never took care of it. Garbage everywhere, stains on the headliner, exterior Rust, very dirty. But I decided not to give up on it and took a whole weekend to clean it and eventually took it to a guy my dad knew to remove the rust of it. Now it looks like a brand new car and I Honestly I’m actually glad I took it, because I never really considered all the stuff mentioned in the video back then. It saved me a lot of money and luckily I had no engine issues as of six months of owning it. Plus I don’t really have a good place to store besides on the driveway and Minnesota winter can be brutal sometimes. I’ll get something cooler at a later point but for now i’m happy with what I got.
Most important rule of all: it's your first car, you're gonna crash it. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. So don't buy something that you'd be too attached or you'll disappoint yourself
@@kenshinmiguel9183 it's not about being reckless, it's about having to learn everything. We all make mistakes, could be an accident that writes off the car or it could just be a few curb rashes. We all make mistakes and first drivers should learn that

Good luck Dude! Try and save $5-6,500k if you can, will save you alot on repairs vs cheaper cars. You can find ok stuff at 3k but its harder and you gotta know what your looking at. Used prices are kinda high right now with covid, you'll get more car for you money if you can save for a year.

So that people who are about to buy a car can know so they don't get "scammed" or lied to
Two real simple things you can do: Number one is check the fluids, usually a good indication if someone took care of the car or not. Number two is hold your hand at the end of the exhaust with the car running (make sure it's a cold start). If you see oil on your hand it could be the pistons, sleeves, or in the case of a Subaru probably a head gasket.
There are also forums for just about every car on the market and if your buying something common the known faults will be well documented.

Not only did getting my first car take a lot of patience, but I was also getting shit from my family. None of them are carguys, and when showed them that I wanted a charger r/t, they genuinely laughed at me.
That was 8 months ago. I bought that Dodge charger r/t and I love it to death
as James Pumphrey once said, "the best first car is as much accord as you can afford" and i plan to live by that, or a FiST if I can make it work
What you mean fist?
You should make rules of getting a second car😂
Plssss make a video for this.
Truly 😂😂
i def need this.
this is exactly what i need lol, my first car was a 1999 pontiac grand am gt and i got it for 1k, it was fun driving around but that baby was beat to shit with almost over 238k miles on it lol, i recently got a job and im trying to save up towards a 2015-16 ford mustang ecoboost before i go on campus for my junior year of college next summer, so im boutta really have to hustle this year, wish me luck!!
@@SHFT13 that’s me right now. I’m looking at pontiac firebirds and I’m very concerned bc I see good prices but I’m worried about the long run. I don’t want to drop money when I get paid $11/hr and have the car break down and I can’t do anything about it 😂 But I was originally looking at newer cars which is definitely not a good idea
Alex: "130 dollars a month for insurance"
Me in NY: wait, that's expensive?
Or
Me with 2 totaled cars an a speeding ticket before I was 18: that's cheap!
In Ontario I had a completely clean driving record at 18 and had my license at 16 and when I went to get my own insurance on my gli it was 400$
Me in Ireland paying 2500 euro a year for insurance
In UK that’s probably the cheapest insurance in the country
Frrrrrr 😂😂😂
My parents wouldn’t let me get anything cool so now I have a 2016 veloster. And it’s genuinely really nice and is fun to drive, plus it’s not a money pit. So I’m kinda happy I listened to them for once
cool
I got a 16 veloster turbo too bro. I am about to be fbo and they are fun cars if you take good care of them they are actually reliable
thats wholesome
Lol I had the opposite experience. Listened to my parents and got a cheap beater. Two cars later I decided leasing was the way to go for me. Now that I have enough cash to support a daily I want a project car

Lexus SC300 owner, let me tell you. As a first car, this car is amazing. But the problems that come with it... I'm just someone with bad luck in general, so fixing cars up myself, something always happens, but they're reliable, and timeless beauties that I adore!
My first car was a 2015 BMW 435 and I honestly regretted it long term because of the insurance, continued payments to the bank, and storage... now I just bought a Datsun 280zx (yes the unpopular one) and love it.

8th gen civic si.

I just bought my first car, a manual 02 Bugeye WRX and she's been very good so far! Just clocked 1000 miles last night cruising around and doing backhill runs with some friends.

I think having a affordable dream car is definitely helpful.
For me, that affordable dream car is the R33 GTR, and even than they’re still quite far our of my range, like i can afford to pay like 100K for that.
I love the R33 as well, for me my dream car is is an Evo 3 which is pretty affordable I think.
@@bryce2432 yeah you can get em for 10k

First car was an 88 Thunderbird with the 5.0, so much fun to drive. A family friend had 5 star Mustang rims that fit it, so I stuck them on there just because they were available to me.
Got a fiesta st mk7 as my first car, absolutely love the thing and I think for the price one of the best options I had seen as a new WRX is basically about 130k here in the Netherlands because of emissions regulations, also just ordered a new set of wheels, can't wait for them to arrive
About a year ago I was lucky enough to find a deal on a 370z for my first car and I’m still in love with it
about a month ago I bought a wrx wagon for my first car and have been fixing it up. Its been hard not being able to drive it yet, but I'll be able to this weekend so I'm pretty excited
I got a 03 Wrx wagon as my first car and let me tell you it’s worth it. Everyone always calls it an outback or just a weird wagon but once they go for a ride they get what’s up with the wagon mafia.
Just baught a 2011 VW Jetta sport wagon tdi liking it so far but has some issues that need sorted out

My first car was a 2001 audi tt quattro. It was when I changed the clutch that I realized not all cars need to be all-drive, or as some people say "front wheel drive with rear wheeled assist,".
That’s my dream car ngl I am wanting that as my first car but I don’t think I could get enough money to pay for the work to be done within even the first year since the cars are now 5k for 150k miles…
@@stahr26 it is a great car, it isn't the fastest thing but it sure is fun. I bought the car for $2200 2 years ago. Replaced the clutch, fusebox, alternator, shocks, etc. I think honestly (if your doing the work yourself) I only have about $3800 in it, which includes buying it. Honestly parts aren't that bad for it as the car is basically a 2 door golf . It's just finding specific parts for it, such as body parts, that make it expensive.
@@S.R.Productions thanks for the info!!!
I just saw a jetta with a fitment industries windshield banner and what looked to be artisa wheels, and now I'm watching a new fitment industries upload. Today is a good day
My first car is a 92 Honda Accord 2.2i and its so much fun to drive, best decision i have made until now
My first car I bought was my 2005 Ranger (which I bought used in 2007, and it only had 6500 miles on it). In 2016, I bought a 2012 Escape, and relegated the Ranger to a spare vehicle. In 2018, I traded in the Escape for a new Escape and finally sold the Ranger to a kid in the neighborhood who needed a first car. I still have the '18 Escape, but have considered trading it in for either a '24 Escape or Santa Fe.
I had options and I probably chose the more expensive one(in the long run). The Mazda RX-8 $4,500 + $1,800 to get it fully healthy. Now the real transformation begins
I just did the same this past fall 2021! I've always loved these cars and can't wait to finaly pull it out of storage soon and finaly actualy get to enjoy it now! but I'm glad to see I'm not alone :) hope you enjoy yours as much as I hope to enjoy mine.

just got my 2013 civic si two weeks ago and i absolutely love it
Budget Jumping is what you should never forget about, focus on spending the least on the vehicle honestly because all the rest that comes with buying a car such as insurance titles and etc and your own personal money need to be in check aswell
I grew up watching drake&josh haha nostalgia! Man nice one editor!
It was funny af😂
First car was a Chevy S10 with a V6 out of a bigger c10. Payed $700 for it, year later i bent the frame drifting in the rain.... best $700 spent and best truck I ever had and best lesson learned. Currently have a ‘14 crosstrek as a daily and camp car
Currently watching this great vid after I bought my first car just over a month ago and passed my test in January. My first car is a Baby Blue Audi A4 B7 got it for a good price and payed off my insurance for the year so very happy with that. When I was B7 hunting I found some stupid prices for ridiculous mileage near my area that were on sale. And I found my baby after 5 days of hunting. Thing is that it was over 100km away so I asked the owner if he could meet me halfway and he was very nice to do so. He was an old dude (bonus 😁), and the car has been treating me well ever since. Just getting a few minor engine problems fixed. Good few mods on the way. Moral of the story is dont jump the gun when you see a car you like and want keep looking. There’s always a better one for a better price. Just make sure the engine is good 😌👍🏾.
Great choice! My first car I also got this year was an A4 B8.5 Quattro. I love how practical these are, while still being upscale and affordable (under 12 grand for a really nice one).
4-doors, decently roomy and upscale interior, and a surprisingly large trunk. Especially since these A4's offer modern features of electronic assists like blind spot monitoring and backup camera, heated and electronic multi-zone adjustable seats, keyless entry, along with AWD and traction control (fantastic in the winter).
I also like how Audi is more of an understated brand that's not as pretentious as Mercedes or BMWs, while still offering similar levels of quality.
My other options for 4-door AWD sedans were Subarus, which were either too expensive, or old/thrashed with nowhere near the same amount of features as these Audi's for the price.
Lots of solid advice in this one. When you kids are searching keep this one the back pocket.
I'm still wanting a rx7 fc for my first car (I'm 24). I understand it's a high maintenance car especially with it being almost 40 years old, and I'm honestly okay with all I do to it for like 6 months to a year being maintenance it's over due for, because that sounds like an adventure to me. I guess I still get to make it scream even if it's mostly stock na 13b. 😃

@@JosueHernandez-nu5cp I have no clue, if you willing to put up with it then go ahead and try.

Ohh protip don't try to remove really tight 6 spline bolts with a 6 spline wrench because you're gambling on if you strip the corners of the head down.
@@nottobay6768 2 years later and i wonder if you got your dream rx7
I absolutely LOVE the second gen Subaru Legacy sedan. It was my third car, first was a 1988 Nissan Sentra 2 door 4 speed, second was a 1988 Buick Lesabre with the 3.8 V6. The Sentra was very slow but it took a beating and made smiles, the buick was barely faster than a D16 EG Hatch (no v-tech) to 60, but somehow topped out around 145. But the Legacy.... That was my girl.
I needed a sporty daily I can also go on road trips with and bring my dog. I wanted it to have some modern luxury but also not break the bank. Got a 2018 Focus ST 👌
My first car was a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S and bought it myself in June 2019 for about $3200. I then sold it and got a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T Sport in October 2020 with the help of my pops (only credit-wise; I paid insurance, down payement, and monthly payments myself). I then traded in the 1.5T for a 2020 2.0T in December 2021 (The bank thought it was better to just buy off the 1.5T since it was more convenient for them considering how not great my interest was at the time of getting the 1.5T (16%), nice no debt there). This was my first time doing it on my own without any credit bumps or having my pops co-sign. I'm currently doing well with the payments and I'll be doing quite a bit of cosmetic (maybe performance) modding since I'll be having it for 3 years.

Got my dream car basically already :) a 2007 Hyundai Tiburon GT, got it for cheaper than you would imagine, is the most reliable car within my whole family, gets a lot of looks with some simple body and wheel work and a cold air intake and a full cat back exhaust.. hell i've even gapped a couple other competitors before like a BRZ. Its a super fun car to drive, of course it's not a ferrari but that's what makes it special.. no one knows what it is.

So idk how this affects insurance and stuff but if you buy a car from an individual agree that its being sold for 1k. Even if you pay more for it, the dmv will see that you paid 1k for it and tax you based off that. Had you put anything more, youll pay more for taxes. I didnt realize this until i was buying a car from a dude. Paid 100$ for something i paid 6k for.
Editors had a lot of fun with this one 😂
My first car was a SN95 mustang, base model v6 my parents bought for 1k. I loved that thing as a teen. Then I got a '86 Nissan Sentra for 2k, that grew on me even though it barely did 65mph but it got almost 40mpg. Thing was my first manual car I owned, and had a carburetor.

That’s extremely overpriced yes it will run till you die but it’s 21 years old and has almost 200k miles maybe if you can get it under 1,400 me personally I would not give more than 1k

Too much
Also it’s a Camry
Best of luck with getting your first car!
Another thing to mention, quadruple check the car inside and out in person. Finding out you dont have rear seatbelts and a kinda rusty trunk interior is not fun.

My First hard earned car is Corolla E210 2020 and i'm happy.
1)I’m not 100% sure but Go at the end of a month because that’s when the dealership is trying to sell cars more hastily and just get rid of them so you can agree on a better price
2) don’t get emotionally attached to it, and get some leverage on them by finding a different deal and if you disagree you could just say “okay I’ll just go find other deals” making them want to keep you as a customer
3) don’t get up-selled on things you don’t need
4) don’t think about just the price of the car but also at minimum a month’s expenses and insurance etc

I’m going to work my first professional job and my parents wanted to ‘help’ me find a car. What they ended up doing was telling me that in a suv, I’m going to get flat tires, run out of gas, can’t haul things in the back, and will flip over in an accident, and will get stuck in the mud.
Then they took me to a GMC dealer where I was pressured to like the GMC canyon $48K (over my budget) that has lower fuel economy and about 18K more expensive for a small interior and bed. I plan to move in about a year and I don’t want to have a truck. All I want is an suv, that costs around $33K with good fuel economy. Although they will co-sign, I’ll be making all the payments.
They have a different idea of what kind of car I want and I know that they have more experience with cars and ownership than me.

Any car you're interested in, take it to a mechanic for a check over before parting with your money. A $40 pre-purchase inspection could save you a ton of money and hassle if they find things it'll need, to keep it safe to be on the road. I'm a 3rd year apprentice mechanic, and in that time only seen 2 pre-purchase inspections, but have seen a dozen cars that people have just recently bought, that are borderline scrap value. Throwing away $40 is a lot better than buying something for cheap but has $2000+ in missed service items or mechanical issues.

1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Bought it from a guy who was in the middle of restoring it. He worked at a dealership and fell in love with a Hurst Olds 442 that some one had traded in. I paid $1750 for it. It was mechanically sound. BUT the wheels (classic Crager 5 spokes) were not round. Around town it was ok. At extra legal speeds the car would vibrate. The girls loved it though. It was all about the vibration, not the car itself. After about 70 MHP it would smooth out and you'd only be hitting the high spots on the wheels. I only had it for about 8 months until the 1st snow hit the ground. Even with 300 pounds on rock salt in the trunk it was a bitch to drive in the snow. I decided that I enjoyed living too much to attempt to drive that as my daily. I ended up with a 1984 S10 Blazer 4x4.

Practicality, performance and reliability is what I look after. Sedans, hatchbacks and wagons are my favorite types of cars.

My first car wasn't really much of a choice- was broke, got a family deal, my parents were willing to pay insurance.
The 4-cylinder 8th gen Accord isn't really all I wanted in a car- A/T, not sporty, two extra doors.
But it sure is everything I need. Efficient, reliable, not underpowered... but not powerful enough to get into trouble.
Thats everything I wanted in my first car , well shit it was one of my dream cars as a kid: however I just bought one for 2.5k and i thought it was in good condition for the price until I looked under the driver side and saw a lot of rust from the rocker panel and under. Im a little bummed out that fixing the rust will put it on the price of just buying one for 7-9k
@@femi8414 Personally I'd rather have had a manual transmission, a coupe, and/or a V6, but for the amount of money I spent ($3k in 2019) I definitely could have ended up with a worse car. The handling may not be on par with a sports car, but I can see why Honda kept the dual wishbone in the front for so long despite costs.
And yeah, having to spend that much on repairs sucks. For 9k you could almost get a V6 (well, maybe in 2019 before car prices rose).
Personal recommendation: Upgrade the rear sway bar, especially if you got an LX. You can use the rear sway bar (+matching bushings!) from a 2008 TSX (same part but stiffer) or a 2009 TL (different part, still fits, and even stiffer). Perhaps the body roll isn't so abysmal on OEM struts (I'm on Duralast and they're crap), but IMO the TL RSB is the best thing I've done to that car. (Other upgrades being a head unit, speakers, and a powered sub.)

But the catch was the previous driver Never took care of it. Garbage everywhere, stains on the headliner, exterior Rust, very dirty. But I decided not to give up on it and took a whole weekend to clean it and eventually took it to a guy my dad knew to remove the rust of it. Now it looks like a brand new car and I Honestly I’m actually glad I took it, because I never really considered all the stuff mentioned in the video back then. It saved me a lot of money and luckily I had no engine issues as of six months of owning it. Plus I don’t really have a good place to store besides on the driveway and Minnesota winter can be brutal sometimes. I’ll get something cooler at a later point but for now i’m happy with what I got.
Most important rule of all: it's your first car, you're gonna crash it. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. So don't buy something that you'd be too attached or you'll disappoint yourself

@@kenshinmiguel9183 it's not about being reckless, it's about having to learn everything. We all make mistakes, could be an accident that writes off the car or it could just be a few curb rashes. We all make mistakes and first drivers should learn that

Once the used car markets go back to the way it was I'm sticking with my E-bike
