who's paying insurance? [/b][/quote]
u pay insurance.. even if it on ur parents


i dont think some people are getting the point.


EVEN if your dad says il buy it....when the bill comes be like heres a couple hundred pop.

JUST A EFFORT
kids r such slackers for the most part
some arent
i know a few people that i envy theyre determination.

 

I just know that I paid for every cent of every car and the insurance of the cars that I have owned, I have had my dad cosign for a car, but that doesn't mean anything, just means I didn't have enough credit to get the load on my own.

 

im 15 and saving every penny and in 2008 im buying a used 2006 GT. sure it may seem great for all thos kids who are getting their cars handed to them but in 5 or 6 years, because they havnt learned any dicipline, they just might be living at home mooching off their parents.

 

Ever since I could remember Ive wanted a Mustang.

 

dont take my words out of context


i live in NY.. so like 95% of males under 90 its on my parents name


i directly that towards ppl who said "my daddy is paying for the car" [/b][/quote]
I completely agreed with you when I read your posts on this topic. My words were also directly towards those that are having mommy & daddy pay for their 05 Mustang. Apparently djaustin was not understanding that.

 

Same here. I'm waiting to graduate. I want the 05' Saleen 281! That car looks awsome. I think I'll settle for a GT convertible though. I'll be 22 or if I'm lucky, 21 when I get it. It all depends on when I can get a decent job. If worse comes to worse, I'll get a Ranger and build it up the hard way. Throw in a 5.0 motor, you know . Well I'm done.

 

that's cool... and I agree... I think this topic is too mixed up now...

All I was referring to was the fact that if I pay everything that has to do with a car ie. car, gas, insurance, maitenece... then I feel that I do own and are taking responsibility for the car even though I may have a co-signer on the dotted line.

In my case it's cause my parents have extremely good credit and can lock in a better interest rate than I coudl with my minimal credit. So sure, they are legally responsible by law, but I'm the one paying the bills and everything about the car.

 

Actually you are both responsible by law, if payments are missed, it will hurt both yours and your parents credit, as well it will also help build your credit if payments are made on time.

 

Thanks Merlot! I was beginning to think that the over 40 bunch was extinct. I'm 41.

 

I'm 24 and ordered my Silver GT Premium with light graphite leather interior a week ago today . Counting down the days till it's here! I can't wait!!


For those of you that ordered your car, How long did it take to come in?
They told me 6 weeks, but didn't give me a date.

 

GTVroom, they should have told you 6-12 weeks. I ordered on 9/23 and dont even have a VIN yet. I will be lucky to get it at 8 weeks.

 

I was afraid someone would say that.

Don't know how I'm gonna keep myself occupied enough to not think about it. School isn't enough of a distraction. Hmmm, guess shopping will have to keep my mind busy.

They should give us loaners to drive until ours come in.

 

My biggest concern buying a 25k+ car is that it's going to slow the house-buying process... but I guess that's the price I pay for wanting this car for the last 2 years...

 

grrrr it just irks me really bad to know that mommy and daddy buy these kids their cars....ive bought every single 1 of my cars, buckets i may add (my 5.0 was NO bucket ) i work my hiney off, im trying to save all i can to get either a SN95 2nd gen or possibly an 06 (i wanna wait to see what kinda bugs were fixed) im only 19, ive got time to wait, and on top of that as well, im going to wait a bit for insurance of course, luckily for me at my age compared to my friends, im making alot of money (13.50hrly) so yep....if ur mommy and daddy buy u a 05...at least dont wrap it around a pole!

 

I personally think its great if a parent buys their 18 year old a brand new stang. If a parent thinks their kid is mature enough and has earned the car then why not? I wouldn't buy my kid a brand new car right when they got their liscense, because I have no idea if they can drive well yet.

 

Heh, well if my parents told me they were going to buy me the car, i wouldn't give a darn what other people think...i'd be too busy jumping up and down to care.

Actually i'm kind of hoping my parents get me a car cover for christmas.

 

Hi all. Im new to the forum and to Mustang ownership in general. My Satin Silver '05 GT should be arriving in another two - four weeks. Im 23 and buying the thing my self. I work in ticketing and take 18 hours at Arizona State University(yes, I pay my own tuition too).

 

Thanks Merlot! I was beginning to think that the over 40 bunch was extinct. I'm 41.[/b][/quote]
Well Louis, my Dad use to say that when you reached 40, your at the peak of the mountain, and she's all downhill from there.

So looks like your at the peak, and I'm half way down the other side!
