1975 Chevy Monza hatchback. Bought it in 1983. Had a 350 and 4 speed manual transmission. Was super fast

Paid $500 for it and crashed it in 4weeks. Car was totaled and I sold the engine out of it for $300 and the rest to the junkyard for $200

While I was at the junkyard, someone broke into the car i drove there and stole $200 cash I had in the glovebox


Learned a lot of lessons with that debacle the hard way

I looked at a super nice Probe a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful used car, but I couldn't fit in it. I'm 6'0"

My first car ever was a 2004 Nissan XTerra Supercharged that my parents bought in 2011 for $9,000.

The first car I ever bought myself was a 2019 Audi A5 Sportback that I purchased new in April of 2020. Thanks to Covid fears the sticker was $53k and I paid $42k.

I think I paid around $4k for a 1984 Jeep CJ7 in 1986. I was washing cars at a Ford dealership and they killed someone on the trade in. The dealer let me have it for what he had in it. Sold it 10 years later for $1800 like an idiot. Would love to get it back.

My first new car was '66 Chevy II with a V8. My Dad worked at the dealership and I told him I wanted the V8, stick shift and bucket seats.

I was working way out of the area so I had him pick it up for me until I could get home. To my dismay, it was in deed a V8 but it had an automatic with bench seats.

Still better than my old used Corvair.

I can't remember the price.

In 1996 I bought a 1985 Mazda GLC for $500. The silver bullet.

I didn't purchase a vehicle until I was 26. My vehicles were all gifted to me by grandparents.

But here is a list of the first 4.

95 F150 Ext Cab XLT
98 4Runner Limited 4x4
01 Ranger Ext Cab FX4
04 Tacoma Crew Cab 4x4

I bought my first vehicle in 2012.
