I got my driver's license in 1982. The first three cars I bought I paid less than $1000 each for!

The cheapest cars I ever bought were a 1979 Datsun B210 for $50 (a buddy who couldn't drive a stick or find the keys for it sold it to me), a 1972 VW Super Beetle for $200, and a 1975 AMC Gremlin for $450.

Well, I was in high school, living at home. My pay was $6.50/hr. to start and maybe $9 when I quit. The car cost $800 so it took a while to save up for it. After a while, I even got some Cragger rims and a cassette player for it ;) My folks weren't too pleased but that car and I went freakin' everywhere. Man, I loved that car!
