I'm slowly planning to get me my first car next year and I'm already asking nearly everyone this question, so that I can figure out how I'm going to do this lol Most people in my surrounding bought a used car, some leased their car and a few got it gifted from their parents...

I was 16. Bought for me by my boyfriend at the time.

I inherited my mothers car and then they end up getting a newer one irresponsible now I know the value of getting your own car

My first car was a Red Volkswagen and I purchased it on a payment plan!

Never got one. i got a scooter-trike because it doesn't cause my ptsd to go off

I dont drive im waiting for a man to drive me

I took out a loan to buy my first car (it was used car) about 4 years ago

16 years old, $200.00 from a guys front yard. Paid cash and drove it home. My mother was not happy.

I'm too young but I will in one to two years (I'm 14)

When my Grandpa died in '01, I got his '89 Ford Festiva. I was 16

Never have, I can't afford to pay someone to drive it yet

When and how did you get your first car? (Page 2)

  That’s kind of an outdated view of things, that’s not necessarily true.

  @Subarugirl
  what do you end up with at the end of the lease
  nothing apart from a balloon payment
  if you are going to get credit get a loan
  then when it is paid off you own the car
  which still has value in it

  Well here, for example, you can still buy the car afterwards and then it's yours

  Options… buy the car out for the residual value, the option for a new lease or financing a new car, or just take it back and be done with it. All of which have a positive impact on your credit if you make your payments on time.

  I've been working at a car dealership for 7 years and that is not necessarily true, there are pros and cons to both leasing and financing. It depends on what you want and your lifestyle. I wouldn't recommend leasing for everyone but for some it is a valid choice that would make more sense in the long run.

  Actually fleet vehicles would make more sense for commercial drivers

  I also think it depends on someone's lifestyle and what fits best to someone individually, personally I do think about leasing a car, but I do have to research more bevor making a final decision tho
