I can beat that.
1971 Dodge Colt.
I saved up and bought with my own money when I was 15 for $400, this was in 1981. It spun a bearing due to my abusive driving. I rebuilt the engine when I was 16 and sold the car.
I bought a 1967 Mustang with a 302 in it and a 4 speed w/ a Hurst shifter for $600. I loved that car so much. I still miss it. Wish I had kept it instead of selling it for a Toyota Celica to ease the cost of my cummute to work every day.
My family was pretty hard up when I was a teen and I attribute a lot of my respect for money today due to that.
I have told my son (12) over and over to start saving for a car because I will not buy one for him.
He needs to learn this stuff. Too many kids today get everything handed to them and do not know what it means to work for what you have.
