I actually am 17 and own a Z. But before ANYONE on here calls me out for being spoiled. Ive been saving 95% of every single dollar I have gotten ever since I was 10. Birthday money Christmas money, chores etc. They all added up until I was 16 and got my liscence. At that time I wanted a manual car that looked fairly good. I bought a 02 RSX for about 6100, with a few hundreds leftover. I then went back to wanting the car I have dreamed for ever since I decided on saving for. A Z. So I worked over the summer made 2 grand, sold my RSX for a nice 1.4k profit. With all of that I found a 03 base Z with 70k miles. Pristine condition. I love my Z and I dont drive without putting MY safety and others around me first.
What Im trying to say is theres always those few legitimately got a Z, and that their parents didnt buy it for them. Those kinds of people have no idea what it is to have a car such as a Z.

Cool story bro. How much is your rent a month? and your utilities? and the car is in your name correct? i mean car insurance, note, loan application everything?
I would say you cant answer yes to all these questions, so chill out you didnt do much anybody else would do if we wanted a nice car and didnt have to pay bills.
and lets see pics or your car never happened.

my first car was given to me at 16 a 1995 Ford mustang, after saving I then bought a 1999 ford mustang. After three years of saving money, including paying rent to my parents after I turned 18. I was able to buy a 1999 Porsche Boxster at age 19 for $8,000, but after owning it for a few months I wanted my dream car a Z, so I sold the boxster for 9k on craigslist and payed 9,900 for an 03 Z touring 6 speed clean title.

I'm just like you. I started work at 16 and saved every dollar made.

I was more privelaged to get a nice car when I am younger, than what pretty much everyone on their own had to do. I am not proud of it, only proud of saving 10 grand for a car Ive always wanted. To me, its a major accomplishment. Im not going to get pics anytime soon either cause its been raining 24/7.
Quit making stupid reply's attempting to flame people when you obviously fail.

Like i said before get off your high horse, you didnt do anything special. the z isnt some audi or bmw or corvette. All im saying is your accomplishment is cool but dont post bragging like you did something to be equal to everyone else. Great job saving ten grand. You did it with NO BILLS. At 17 i bought my own car, but i also had my own apartment and was in college working a full time job. I commend your effort but dont toot your horn like your $10,000 sports car was something great at 17. I know 17 year olds buying houses and corvettes right now and they aint boasting.

And you just proved my logic by telling me to compare Vegas and California prices for housing. You young guys cant afford to live on your own and buy your own car.
Im not trying to **** on the younger guys because im only 23 myself, but at the same time, you guys come on the forum and try to boast like you did some amazing thing getting a ten year old sports car while your still at home and mommy and daddy are still taking care of you. This thread started off to help protect our young Z drivers by giving them some advice on being careful with their cars, but the younger guys turned it into some pissing contest because you think your an adult because you bought a car with your life savings that you accrued with no bills.

Hmm well seeing as how im originally from Los Angeles, grew up in long beach and went to long beach state and UCI, I have only been living in vegas for a year and a half, I will agree that las vegas is cheaper than anywhere in cali. BUT those 17 year olds im talking about are back in California.
