muster the funds

[my porsche]

ok so my dad gave me permission to get an E39 M5 if i could "muster the funds" and an E46 M3 if i could prove i am responsible and could also "muster the funds"

he will give me $10,000, hence that is why i have 12k saved up

so, i normally wouldnt ask other people how to make money, but i have limited employment oppertunities, since i am underaged i cannot be on a payroll

i have 2 years to earn $10,000, to make my grand total, 22k, whicha 2001 m3 with slightly high mileage should be well within my reach

that is $5,000 per year, $417 a month $105 a week, if i mow the yard everyweek, that is $20, plus washing both cars, $30, $50 a week, i could probably do manual labor for my dad's company at $8 an hour, which would need 7 hours per weekend, which is probably attainable, and my mom might let me database things for hrd compnauy at $10 per hour, so a few hours of that

but in the summer i can work for my dad and my dfirends dad every day so i will raise my income in the summer

but my question is this, is there anything a person of my age can do right now to earn more money than i am currently making

they can be long term things, though i need the money in 2 years flat, or one time things

please any ideas you have, i am in desperate need

[Quiggs]

Paper route. :)

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

Lemonade :p no really you could invest in the stock market. i dont understand why youre to young to work. over here we car get part-time working papers strait from school

[SIMPLETON]

Well, well, well. young Porsche fan wants to get a BMW.

[targa]

vegas, tell him to take that 10k and play it in vegas for you, of he wins, BOOM, more money

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

youre crazy, stocks are a much more proffesional way to lose money :p

[TheOne]

where in TX do you live? six flags offers part time jobs for 7 and up an hour:P, so does hurricane harbor, they hire 15-16 and up. some o'reilly auto parts stores may accept you if you are 17 yrs old, even some dealers(have a couple of friends that worked at a toyota dealer when they were 17), if you are younger than 15, then mowing the lawns is the way(i guess), many stores like kroger's and albertsons are hiring high schoolers, they pay $5.50 or so an hour though.

(i myself am looking for a job, am 17 and gonna try @ toyota dealer where me brother works)

How wonderful.

I say you throw rocks at people, $5 a rock.

Seriously though, I just ask neigbor's if they need just about anything done: whether it's mowing the lawn, or moving some furniture, or whatever. Obviously only if you do not have anything better to do, but if you want some money, and don't have anything to do for money, just go around your neighborhood and ask around. If their grass looks long, offer to cut it. If it looks like they are moving a bunch of furniture or painting something, offer a hand to help. Easy, effective. Plus, neighbor's tend to pay more then your parents :D

This is totaly out of line :mad: I hope a mod bans your @ss!!!! As a matter of fact, I'd like to ask any mod reading this to ban you!!

[Niko_Fx]

I know that at your age is hard, they even put limitations on 14-15 year olders.

Once you turn 16 or so get a relatively decent job to make 600-800 a month and be able to buy whatever the heck you want. Ask your dad to get a loan and buy you the car you whish and pay him every month the payments + interest (I'm saying this cause there's no way in hell you can get a loan at that age)

That's what I suggest since you have those big plans, but IMO You should start with a cheap car. I'm pretty glad I started out with a Civic, I learned how to drive, be cautios, etc with it and never afraid of f*cking the car up... Trust me, as much as you feel confident regarding driving skills and car treatment at age 16... you aren't.

Just my .02 Choose wisely.

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

i still say stocks-i made a total of 2,517 dollars last year (starting and ending Feb.16)

He was banned a couple of days ago but he doesn't seem to get it.

I'll just delete his post and leave him with a warning.

[Rockefella]

You can get 8/10 dollars an hour by working at 14... holy sh1t!

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I was working at Subway when i was 14. It's just a matter of proving to them that your mature enough to work for them.

But if you've got 10 Grand, i do suggest hiring a stock broker (I'm sure you know one) and just playing the Stock market game; you never know what might happen.

Too risky IMO, it hasn't been all that well lately.

I say go and buy 10,000 lottery tickets ;)

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Yeah, coz with 10,000 combinations of numbers, you're bound to win once.

[CdocZ]

Well.....for a certain bribe my mom could rig it for ya :p

[Niko_Fx]

Hey, at least you have 10,000 chances in 1 Trillion :cool:

I was kidding :)

[IBrake4Rainbows]

^ Thankyou Captain Obvious :p

[Egg Nog]

Hey, at least you have 10,000 chances in 1 Trillion :cool:

I was kidding :)

With that many tickets, there's a damn good chance of winning. Just not a very good chance of winning your money back. You'd win a few fives and tens though :D

[Niko_Fx]

^ Thankyou Captain Obvious :p

I never know what goes through the mind of the Aussies, better make sure :D :p

I say we all contribute to a UCP account and buy a bunch of tickets, if we win we split the money among those who contributed, if we lose... We are screwed.

And no, Wouter won't be in charge of that account, I don't trust the Dutch.

[CdocZ]

And no, Wouter won't be in charge of that account, I don't trust the Dutch.

Lol.

There should be a supermassive international lottery!

[IBrake4Rainbows]

US lotteries are huge in comparison to the ones here.

$400,000,000 versus our highest jackpot, $30,000,000

And thats $30Mil Australian, so like $24,000,000 US.

[Niko_Fx]

Lol.

There should be a supermassive international lottery!

Isn't there a National one in the US? I've heard something about $260 Million Dollar prizes. You have to get 7 friggin #s right though.

[targa]

that 260 million is cheese, its most likely the NY state powerball

combine all the prizes in the country, it would be in the trillions

[NuclearCrap]

A 260 million dollars prize sounds good enough for lottery, you can't expect much when people that are underage aren't allowed to purchase tickets. There would be prize money with 10 digits if the underages could buy tickets.

[my porsche]

so any new ideas to get my m3? also is there a place to get them cheap? dealer auction?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Try a Repo Auction or something similar.

All they want to do is cover the debt; although be careful; someone previous might have owned the car and they might have been a criminal that gets shot at; or shot in their car.

Still, if you can find a good one, it's worth a shot.

[my porsche]

god i want an m3 badly, mmmm black m3 with black rims,,,,,,,, drooool

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Remember; Insure before drive.

Insurance on a Performance car is going to be terrible for a young'un like yourself.

My sister (19) just had to pay $600+ on a 1987 hatch :o

[shr0olvl]

why do you want a 2001+ M3 so bad, just get a 91-99, there much cheaper and look pretty much the same. Either way, it's an M3.

Thats also another thing you REALLY need to consider. Trust me, I know. :o

[Mustang]

did they up power for 2002? they are the same body style etc... whats the difference

ib4rb, here, insurance is about $1300 extra for girls, $3300 extra for guys, without a car! insane no matter what car i get, but my dad will pay for most of the insurance

[taz_rocks_miami]

OK, I have THE idea for ya!! Start a catering biz from home!! You're already a hell of a good cook!! That's how Martha Stewart got started, as long as you don't get into insider trading you'll be fine :)

[my porsche]

hahahah, what if im ALREADY in insider trading? i mean...no...of course im not....

[taz_rocks_miami]

hahahah, what if im ALREADY in insider trading? i mean...no...of course im not....

If you are? Got any good tips? Damn, I should've PMed that :o

[my porsche]

ok any new ideas anyone?

i figure for a 1995 993 (kbb value with 75,000M at $22,000) or an M3 around $30K id go for the 993, for some reason im back on the 993, probably because i realised buying my dads old 911 would be maintenance hell

so i haave $13,000 i need 10k in a year and a half, thats about $6k a year, i think i might be able to do it, i can get a job in 6 months and i have a garanteed kitchen job with a steak house, so i think i might be able to, but i would then only have enough for the car, i need insurance money, any ideas for extra income?

[DrGonzo]

Damn you Americans and your cheap car prices!!!!

[Blue Supra]

get a traineeship in something. i did 20 hours a week whilst studying and made over $200AUD a week .

[clutch-monkey]

My sister (19) just had to pay $600+ on a 1987 hatch :o
holy crap thats insane, i pay like half that for my integra :eek: :eek: is it the same no matter which company she goes with?

[Blue Supra]

Try $5500 for a 96 200SX and im 19.

younger then me and a more valuable/faster car then mine...

forget about full insurance. If you cover it fully you'll spend prolly more then half your budget on it M_P. :(

[whiteballz]

an M3 as a first car? im waiting to hear about your crash, too much power.
No one is that good of a driver out of the gate. you will be what? 16 or 17 when you get it? i dont like it one bit.

Massive-amount-of-self-control-needed-ASIDE...theyre pretty easy to drive for something so powerful

[Matra et Alpine]

Massive-amount-of-self-control-needed-ASIDE...theyre pretty easy to drive for something so powerful
hmmmm. Took LOTS of self-control and on occasions where the roads were greasy I had a few "moments" :) I'd still suggest starting off in soemthign low powered is best way to build the skills that fear isnt' the main control then in later years in a faster car.
My dad only ever drove off in second gear to try to control the wheelspin :eek:

[fpv_gtho]

well my experience has been keeping it under 3000rpm with my dad in the passenger seat :p so thoe 2 made it hard to screw up

[Matra et Alpine]

ha ha for sure 'dad' will make a difference :)

It was at times when quickly pulling out on to a busy road at a T-junction even I used to find it always wanted to just spin up the wheels :D

[fpv_gtho]

It might be something about the E36 compared to the E46 in that, i cant even recall with my dad at the wheel the car wanting to break traction noticeably

[Matra et Alpine]

You're probably right. IT was an E30 :)

[6'bore]

You have taken insurance into account?

[fpv_gtho]

You're probably right. IT was an E30 :)

Well thats a completely different chassis, E46 was the development of the E36 if im not mistaken, although most people with an E30 would claim to them holding their own still
