Answer 7

$0. My first car was a hand-me-down from my dad. It was our high mileage family car, drab in appearance, but I couldn't complain. I was starting college in a distant city and needed my own transportation. He was buying a new car anyway, so the timing was perfect. I bought my own car a few years later.

Answer 8

My first car was $40, a 49 ford. Next was $50, a 50 dodge. And a lot more in that price range over the next 5 years.. The dodge was called the black widow because the rear passenger window was broken and a black widow was painted on it..

Answer 9

£3850 in 1982 for a brand new Ford Fiesta 1.1L. Saved up through summer jobs through uni but had to “ borrow” about £500 from my Dad.

Answer 10

My first I  split with two friend. Total was  $225, never got it to run sold it for what we paid. It was a '66 Chevelle Malibu six with 3-on- the- tree. This was in '75 so it was just considered an "old car", not a classic.
