What is everyone's salary vs. the car they bought?
I'm going to be starting my first job this summer at $61k and need to buy a first car. I am going to have 100% disposable income and want to buy a Mustang GT, but would rather not spend $32+k on one over the next three years. Alternatively, what are some nice muscle cars I can get used for cheap?

How about you wait a bit to make sure you don't get fired faggot. I see this shit all the time in corporate. Some new faggot comes in making a decent pay check. A month he he rolls up in his new car. Fired because he just doesn't fit in after three months. Ruined in less than half a year.
ALWAYS wait a MINIMUM of one year. And if you have that much disposable income just save up and buy it cash.

>>14430970
I interned there last summer and they wanted me back, but I understand what you're saying. Shit happens.
If I want a mustang that bad, should I just get an older model? Anything you would recommend?
>>14430970
That is prob the best advice you'll get on 4chan. But I'd rather see you throw your immediate life away as well and that stupid education your dumb parents paid for.

>>14430996
Mustang is okay. I would just save and buy one cash in a year or so on the used market. You can also get a viper in the mid 20's. You can get a z06 (c6) etc.
After taxes that's only $43k a year or so. You should really sit down a budget your total saving per month AFTER ALL expenses. Including going out, lunch, rent, bill, insurance etc. I was making $75k a year my first good job. Money didn't go as far as I thought after rent and bills and shit. I mean it was okay but not amazing. ESP when you are dumping money into saving (like you should).

I don't want to buy a car, because it'll put me in a lot of debt. But I need a car to get to school. But I can't get a job because I'm going to school full-time.
It's a vicious cycle, so I have to bike 10 miles to and from school daily.
My parents were going to give me $2500 for a car, but instead they decided to rob a bank and I got emancipated to my grandma... who then died a year later so now I'm with my aunt.

OP, save up some money and go out and test drive anything and everything that interests you. If your income is truly disposable you should be able to put a nice chunk of cash down on whatever you decide to buy and finance the rest to build up your credit. Just be smart about it and you'll be fine. Don't pay cash on a new car, it's fucking retarded as you can usually get a better deal financing it and paying it off early.

how do i get that money? i have a good work ethic, full time for several years and i am head of my department (actually the only person in the shipping department)
>>14431648
Also, I'm selling the Golf. I got it dirt cheap from some retard who was selling it right after the emissions scandal came out last year. I don't know what to do with the money, I have enough guns, I finally finished furnishing my new condo, so now I'm thinking of buying a boat (probably 190 Montauk) or buying a new Camaro SS.
>>14431603
Nah I don't hang around campus any longer then I have to.
I won't deny a lot of theater people are weird but I'd say I'm probably one of the more normal.
I plan on becoming a Merchant Mariner after I get an arts degree.
Mostly so that I can halve my time between going on trips as an officer on the ships (you get to pick your schedule) and the other half in community theater and shit.
Pretty decent gig I think and fairly easy to achieve.
Average /o/ income: 100k a year
Average /o/ car cost: $400
52k last year, probably 60k this year (hourly with a shitton of overtime).
I drive an na miata and a broken cx500. Portland is fucking expensive and I still have debt to pay off before I start spending loadsamoney.
>>14431676

>>14431670
Nice. I used to bolt from campus when I went to a CC too. Home was so close I'd just go there for long breaks/lunch lol.

I'm >>14431648 a boat captain with a USCG certified Master Inland/Mate Near Coastal license. In addition, I have Merchant Mariner credentials.
Though my job has to do with magnetic and gyrocompasses, I am permitted to operate boats on inland waters within 100 GT.
Anything you want to know?
>>14431692
I feel you.
I'm only about 10 minutes away but the hard part is finding any fucking parking.
I usually have to park off campus in a nearby industrial area. It's a long straight and the sides of the road are always packed with college kids cars.
It's awful when it takes just as long to walk to classes from parking as it does to drive to campus
98 Civic EX ($1000, spent another $800 in repairs)
95 Integra RS ($4800 + another $1000 in work done to it, has a bunch of mods)
09 Kawasaki KLX250SF ($2000)
$45-48k a year. If my shitbox Hondas weren't so cheap to insure and everything newer so expensive I would've gotten rid of both for a Fiesta ST or E46 M3.
>>14431707
Yep parking at CCs is a drag. Mainly any school but CCs especially since they're small but packed.
>>14431706
That's pretty nice dude.
I know I'm going to go the Academy in NY anyway, both from other people I've heard and my own personal goals becoming an officer would be the ideal route.
If you've gone what can I expect from that?
Secondarily, how are schedules managed? Do you get to pick your trips? Does it go by officer/mariner seniority? How many trips do you have to do a year to meet a minnimun sort of quota?
What's the average pay for say, a month long trip?
I know it varies depending on your cargo and what not, but in general.
Finally, do merchant Mariners only work national trips or international trips as well? And if the latter, how long are you generally in port and do you get to go to shore?
Apologize if that's a lot of questions.
If there's anything else imperative you can think of I'd be glad to hear it
senior mechanical engineering student here. got my 03 focus nearly 2 years ago with 113k miles for $4k. it's still cruising along with it's little 2.3 and the 5mt but man it's slow. after i graduate i'm putting together a fund of about $300-400 a month when i start working so i can get in something thats more fun to drive.after i've established myself a bit.

I'd probably still be driving my '97 Altima if the tranny didn't start going out. The Impreza was about 24.5k out the door and it's all paid for. Currently saving for a house.
>>14431731
Again, I work with gyrocompasses, and technically I'm a merchant mariner... but I don't do any long trips. Mostly down rivers a few mile markers and direct the ship to do what I have to do to properly calibrate the magnetic and gyrocompasses. Then I take a pilot boat (or helicopter if it's a drill ship) back to shore, and I'm typically done within a few hours.
I didn't go to any academies, I simply applied through my regional center with the USCG since I already had my TWIC card and all other credentials, and got it back in the mail.
That being said, I do speak with a lot of full-time MMs when working on their ships. They get paid between $40k-$100k depending on their positions. Typical crewmen and technicians will be making on the lower end. Many of these guys work internationally (I'm in Texas, and I work along the Gulf Coast), and are in and out for a month or two at a time. Captains and other officers will be out for even longer periods.
Sorry I couldn't answer all your questions, those are things I genuinely don't know or can't recall.
>>14431792
Thanks for the response even though you could only answer half.
That's kind of what I had figured but I wasn't 100%.
Going as an officer I'd probably be the closer end of the pay scale but in the end it doesn't matter as long as I can support myself.
Could I get a bit more detail on how you got into your specific line of work?
Not to over simplify it but it seems like with some training it would be a fairly easy and or mundane job and as you said, with some incredible pay.
Don't get me wrong I don't need money to be happy, but if there is the potential for more.
What kind of classes or certifications are needed?
Do you have to have a fairly good knack for math?

Mommy and daddy bought me a Ford Fiesta ST because I earned enough GBP. Too bad it sits in the garage collecting dust because I'm in too much pain to go anywhere.
>>14431813
I calibrate magnetic and gyrocompasses. That's it. While it sounds mundane, it's really fucking important, and VERY FEW people do it in the entire country. I learned how to do it whilst in the Coast Guard as a quartermaster years ago, but when that rate was absorbed into boatswain mate, they stopped teaching it to people. After I retired, I needed work, so I started a company with a former Coastie and I've since taken over.
It's hard, I've taught plenty of people how to do it, but each job is different. Not a lot of math needs to be known, but a lot of knowledge of magnetism does. It's a very specialized profession much like masonry, and like masonry it's dying.
For adjusting the compass, there's really no certs you need besides the ones needed to enter ports and ships (TSA TWIC card), my captain's license, and I needed to learn how to survive a waterborne helicopter crash to work on drill ships. Any additional certifications, exams, etc are on a job to job basis. Some oil companies will have you watch a few safety videos and take an exam before they even let you near a ship or drill ship, others will just let you board with said above certs.
>>14431848
That's pretty interesting my man.
Seems like a pretty good gig.
I might take a look into that.
Is there anywhere you're aware of that one could learn to calibrate such things given the coast guard no longer does?
Pretty sure I've seen you in another thread talking about this on here.
At any rate seems pretty decent my man. Kind of ridiculous something so important has so few people doing it but I guess it helps increase the jobs per person
>>14431866
Right now, I don't know who else might teach it. My best guess would be the Merchant Marines, since the Navy or Coast Guard don't anymore.
Some companies might teach it, but every time I encounter their technicians they do really sloppy work (or no work at all since it's hard to verify).
>>14431818
want a driver? east midlands here, can read maps, driven a few fiesta st before
>>14431884
Fair enough.
Thanks for the advice.
If they do teach it in the MM (well enough and I'm good at it) maybe after my required 5 are up I could go solo working on that stuff.
Or at any rate, a company that does teach that shit would probably be more likely to hire me with the previous experience.

I have an old Mercedes C280 which I barely drive anymore and use a Lexus HS200h and/or Honda CR-V for work.
Probably going to get my own car next month to replace the aforementioned vehicles, which will be an Accord Hybrid. I really want a Mazda 6 diesel but doubt they're ever going to fucking release it in the US. I was considering waiting for the new Acura variant of the HR-V or the new Honda plugin hybrid but I don't really want to wait that long.
I want to get a 2011 Jaguar XJ V8 as a fun car, but it probably isn't a very sound financial plan even though I could make the payments, so I'll likely just get an old Camaro as a fun car until I can afford to buy the used Jag it outright.

Most cars are worth more than a months salary so I don't really see your point. Still, saving up and not buying useless shit you don't need is key. Not going out every week-end also helps.

Just find something in the BLS with good growth and high earning potential. If you can, take an internship or shitty foot-in-the-door salary while still in school to get started in that field. Don't be shy about quitting jobs every year or so for your first few years in whatever industry.
That's really it.

Fucking faggot. Get a starter car to build your credit. Im making 50k a year and i have a gs400 that all told will cost me 7500 financed. I could repair it every month (i dont) and itll still be cheaper than even a new i4 stang.

35k although it ends up being like 25K take home after 401k contributions, obamacare, welfare, feed the poor, medical for the rich, social security that you will never get.
I just bought a 2015 FZ07, although insurance from my last wreck paid more than half of it. So i'm effectively paying $3k for it.
Little no expenses.

0% interest means that the longer you can stretch out the money, the better the investment

what is car depreciation?
>>14438221
it is, but the ecoboost is fast enough for my taste, and handles better (allegedly, I havn't driven the 5.0)
one of my demands in a car would be that it had air conditioned seats. i work in automotive seating by trade, so I'm pretty picky about them. I really like the two-tone white/black color, and they're super comfy. my only gripe is the cut pattern is boring compared to a lot of the stuff I work with.
i'll get around to putting in a bigger intercooler and a tune after I've worn out the 36k warranty. don't listen to people who say nonsense about "the dealer having to prove your mods caused the failure" it's your lawyer vs. theirs, and theirs is on call.
would i prefer the 5.0? probably. wasn't worth $6k to me though.
>>14438556
how is that relevant to financing?
it depreciates at the same rate whether you paid in cash or not.
>>14438584
Six years? That's a bigger commitment than joining the matines. Financing isn't nearly as bad as leasing though. There are just cases of people making absolutely retarded decisions through financing.
>>14438584
you are still paying for the car, when it is worth less then the money you still owe
Whatever though, if you dont mind it really doesnt matter, sounds like you got a great deal at 0% interest
>>14438573
Sounds awesome man, enjoy the car, it should last a long time if you love it, and it sounds like you do

35k hotel front office manager, bought a 2006 Scion xA for $11,900 in 2012.
Regret but not because the car is bad. I really like the car. I just had zero credit so I put $3,000 down and paid a 24% APR for 2 years before I built enough credit to refi at 3.5% and adding only 9 months to the loan.
Looking back I wish I just spent that $3,000 on a car as opposed to a down payment.
I make $500k starting as a maths major and drive a 1998 camry
