This is a nice thread! I don't have an IS-F but I wish to have one in the future. But graduated, living at home, working 2 businesses with the parents(pretty much a role reversal..mom parties and dad gambles..I manage the business and babysit my young brother), and I'm no money to spend on myself! But they pay $900 a month for my 07 GS350. Seeing 19-22 year olds buying an IS-F makes me want to say mom and dad..I need a REAL JOB!

 

37! 08 ISF....my lady 31 just joined the Lex family with a new 250awd

 

34 and an 08 ISF new. Bought it when I was 31.

 

30ish 08 ISF

 

I'm 23 and just picked up a 2008 USB IS-F, and yes, I payed for it myself. I also have a 98 Acura Integra. The F is insured under me. I am paying for insurance for both cars as well. And YES, I did buy the F on a loan.. so what? How many of you OWN your houses outright without a mortgage? I don't understand why people make such a big deal about buying a car on a loan instead of cash.. I'd rather not be "car rich and cash poor" as they say.

I've been blessed with parents that stress financial security, so that is why I am able to afford the car. Not to mention I chose a college that was not only affordable for my father but also recognized by major companies... I'm now repaying him by contributing to mortgage and helping my mother around the house when needed. I never had college loans and I love my job.

My next goal is to save up for an apartment, and I WILL make it happen.

This post was bothering me so I just had to post back with my response.

 

29 years old and got 08 USB/alpine in december 2010... Enjoying every minute I drive it on my long commutes to work on the highway...

 

27 08 ISF owner, I have a mortgage, a gf that helps me dispose of my income and there is no way in hell I would have a car loan for $400 - $900, that's just crazy!! Also my employer covers my tuition every semester!! Lol.

I love the F and if u got it, obviously u have some disposable income to have it whether u own a house or not. Cheers to all "F" owner cuz it definitely isn't a cheap car!!

 

I like your mindset, my friend! The financial perspective that your parents passed onto you surely paid off, and I'm not talking about the cars. People who say that young people can't possibly pay for such nice and expensive cars perceive those who do as either the "trust fund" babies, ones that always get whatever they want from their rich parents. This is not always the case. To me, age is but a number, which has no bearing on the financial aspect of owning a vehicle. It doesn't matter if one is 18 or 81 or older...just have fun with your cars, and most importantly enjoy life!

But I can understand how some posters feel about rich parents giving away cars as gifts. Not all kids deserve them, yet many oddly enough have such nice rides. It's more a responsibility factor than anything else. If they've earned it, then let it be. But if they haven't, I know they are more likely to wreck it, feeling that their parents can get them another one. I'm more worried about that than how young some IS F owners are.

 

I couldn't even afford condoms when I was 23.

 

31...paid off my 2010 IS-F, and 2010 Subaru Impreza... have a house mortgage...own my own business

 

25 - 08 Black ISF, have a mortgage, and a wife. All me, although, I wouldn't mind having rich parents.

 

New to the forum, but have u all beat! My girlfriend/baby momma bought mine for me! Lol! It's actually just her work car that I drive on the track every other weekend...2008 black is-f

 

Oh, and 32 years young, with mortgages, plural, on two houses! Going broke with a smile!

23. Own 2 rental properties (no mortgage). Currently in grad school, living at home and looking to get an 08 ISF, does that count? lol
