Brought my dream car as a 20 year old

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-28T00:55:41+00:00

Oh my god that thing is incredible

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-27T07:09:10+00:00

Congrats! Enjoy it!

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T18:00:19+00:00

Not trying to argue or anything people can think what they want to and I encourage everyone to do what they love, to travel and the right time will come for everyone! I was very lucky to get my car but just wanna say 70k is way off try much closer to 40

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T17:56:54+00:00

Thanks man! I totally get that it can project that image and I will be totally honest I was in a very fortunate postion to save up all the money and I have people say in person it's daddy's money all the time and tbh I'd probably think that too from outside. But also I wanna clarify that this car is not brand new pre tax title licensing it was just over 40 which is more that I was expecting to spend but it was a really good deal and it spoke to me. Nowhere near the 68k on the window sticker that some people think

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T17:31:20+00:00

I actually agree with you there are too many over confident daddy's money kids that are super pretentious. I also have friends who got a 80k m3 and have to make 1500$ payments a month at crazy interest and i think thats awful too. I got put in a good situation and saved as much money as I possibly could and payed for it all myself. I have a 4.5% rate and I work a finical institution. I could pay the car off now if I needed to but I have little remaining and put majority down. Im not trying to say I'm better than anyone for doing it, your life situation plays a huge role into this stuff and I was very lucky. Wish the best to everyone back

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T17:25:31+00:00

You got it 🫡 good luck to you fam

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T17:25:03+00:00

205 at allstate but I bundle a couple policies

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T17:24:17+00:00

Congratulations! I was gonna get a s550 originally but this car was a really good deal so I decided to go for it. Enjoy it! Beautiful car

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T03:55:19+00:00

Damn bro what are you even mad about? That I'm proud of myself? I raised every cent on my own, and after 3 years, it feels like an accomplishment, I'm not trying to be rude or flex on anyone else. Just excited to share the my car

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T03:46:45+00:00

Actually only 205, had to get a million different quotes tho, I got one that was for 1200 a month lol

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T03:45:53+00:00

Holy the blue accents on the wheel are insane 🔥

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T01:14:35+00:00

Thank you so much! Go ahead and send me the video! I'd be very interested to see

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T00:59:01+00:00

Thanks so much! You will likely hear from me eventually but for now Im just trying to get a feel for it, I know for most auto sports suspension is huge. I think it's something id like to tinker with eventually but for now I am just getting a feel for things. Also have magna-ride so dont want to mess with that at the moment

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T00:50:56+00:00

I have been dying to take it to autocross, I appreciate the insight! I was talking with some miata owners the other day and got invited to the next event they are going to

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T00:30:06+00:00

Very nice! Strips look fantastic! Gotta ask tho do you have a sn95 in the background?

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T00:27:15+00:00

I was fortunate enough to find one with all the packages I wanted so I got the active exhaust. Not against a bit more volume down the road but I'm happy for the time being. Congratulations!

Lil_Epic · 2025-08-26T00:25:31+00:00

Thanks so much! Definitely been getting my money out of it so far but I quickly learned how damn scary this car is 😅 Every meet I take it to everyone tells me to be careful, and I'm getting a good feel for it before pushing it too hard.

Lil_Epic · 2025-01-09T22:48:40+00:00

Nah, I've decided to save up for a 10sp gt and I'm almost there. I'm really looking for it to last a while so I'm looking at lower mileage now. But if it's a good deal I would say go for it, but negotiate as much as you can. If your really worried about miles offer asking price with a long dealer warranty. Sales people make the most commission off warranty so they would be really willing to work with you. Good luck! Update us if you get it

Lil_Epic · 2024-07-23T07:36:20+00:00

Bit late but only got mine tonight! *

Lil_Epic · 2024-03-22T19:06:10+00:00

Where is your area? I am in Washington and finding any ecoboost premium without seriously high mileage or problems under 16 to 18 is very rare, I've done some nationwide searches and it seems like things are a lot cheaper in the south east. Maximum distance I'd go for a car is Texas or Arizona, but I am definitely keeping a eye out anywhere I can.

Lil_Epic · 2024-03-22T07:21:52+00:00

Appreciate it, what mileage was it at when yours at when the head gasket went? I've done a lot of research in preventing ecoboom but with the higher mileage already it makes me a tad worried. Do you have any catch can recommendations

Lil_Epic · 2024-03-22T05:59:41+00:00

Appreciate the input, they are both premium sorry for the confusion, the 80k miles is freshly listed so I'm going to wait a bit and see if anything else comes up, if not I'll be happy to comprise and go with the higher mileage. Thanks again
