lol a $10,000 car is expensive???



Where did *anyone *say that? A $10,000 car is a decently priced car. For someone other than a full time, incoming college freshman without a job. Seriously, this kid was going to buy it off of scholarship money, and is only now thinking ,“Gee, a job might be a good idea if I want a car.”

There are good purchases, and bad purchases. For a student with no job, no other source of income, and who doesn’t need a car, a $10,000 car is-99.9% of the time-going to be a bad purchase. He’s better off saving through college to be able to buy that car when he graduates and might need it.

If he *needs *a car, there are more affordable options for a college students out there, and I’m not saying buy a $600 piece of crap. There’s a reason most college students aren’t rolling around in a Mercedes Benz. But from his posts, it seems the only reason he wants one is bragging rights.

And JKpoker2, not everyone wants to live off mommy and daddy’s dollar forever. :rolleyes:
