Man, these cars must be getting cheap! Toooons of people getting them, not that that is a bad thing. I just thought it was pretty funny, especially since I'm in the club!

 

Yeah the low price tag of some of the older models attracts a lot of kids. Don't worry they come and go pretty fast. Give it a few months before they seize the engine and then post that their engine burnt like 3 quarts of oil in a 3 month time frame and now the engine won't start.

 

have you seen the price of 04/05's???
You do know that a new FAST & FURIOUS movie is coming out, right? Coincidence? I think not...

 

Now guys, just because there's "Kids" here, doesn't mean some of us don't care for our cars.
It's obvious why it's there, but damn I hate that stereotype..

 

Well it happens with most models, it's to be expected. The original sticker on my 04' Touring was over $32,000.00, One of our local young guys just got a dealer maintained 04' GT with 28k on it for $10,000.00 cash. Another one of our local members paid like $13,000.00 for her 07' GT with less than 30,000 miles on it.

But it happens to all cars. My boss has several cars but he needed a new daily so he bought a brand new Acura MDX cash and was going to trade his 2003 Mercedes S55 AMG with only 50,000 miles (maintained perfectly) in to offset the cost and they only wanted to give him $20,000.00 for it. I thought that was BS but when I checked that was about the going price.

So, he just kept it and is waiting for his youngest daughter to turn 16. Pretty cool that you can get a S Class AMG with a supercharged V-8 for $20,000.00.

 

Yeah, I got my 05 for 10,900 with less than 40k. I'm no kid, but I have two of them... Haha so thifty was on the table for me.

 

the more "kids" who come to the car and start spending money on mods, the less expensive some of those mods become. As well as those mods become easier to find.

 

Very, very true.

 

so remember, be a buddy to the kids. If they notice the AEM intake, explain why it's better in your opinion then the noise maker (aka typhoon II)
the exhaust? your ignition? etc.
You dont have to go Edward James Olmos on them, but the more you help them in the beginning if they're asking for it, they better it is for everyone down the road

 

When you say kids? how old do you think they are? I'm guessing 16? ha

 

anyone in their 20's is a "kid" in my eyes. yes, that includes 29
under that and you're a "pup"

 

:// welp I'm a kid

 

nothing wrong with being a kid, some of the craziest/funniest/memorable things in my life happened during my kid phase

 

this happens every year about this time. The new year rolls over people pay of a bill with their tax refunds and the car because cheaper so a new influx of owners happens.

quite a few of them will either break the car, wreck the car, or go oh **** I cant afford a 10k car working part time at mcdonalds and be forced to sell or get rid of the car, further lowering the value.

but as said above this is every single model out there.

 

What will also happen in another couple of years, the availability of mods will go way down. Get 'em while you can!

 

It is Spring time and cars are getting cleaned up and put up for sale.

 

I guess I'm a kid too lol

Are people in their 30's considered teenagers? lol. If so, I cant wait to be a teenager again!!!!!

 

And I can't wait for those crazy/fun/Memories

 

Your too young to smoke.

 

Got my '07 GT on 3/24. Just for the record, I'm not a kid. Probably older than most here...

 

Welcome aboard.

 

There is no age limit for my smoke

I can't wait to be a teen again!!

 

Hahha tbh the Mazda crowd is quite old and actually take the time and research to know their car. I went to one meet and I was the youngest.

Its a matter of time that these "kids" you speak of will wrap these cars around trees and increase our low insurance rates.
