Not really. Insurance and monthly car payment will be covered from employer. Regardless living with parents or not, it's no cash out of my pocket.
Scion was parents car. It's going up for sale as soon as I graduate.
Thanks. I picked it up for $26k.
The car was a "buyback" from BMW with "electrical issues" that the PO claimed. In reality, the fuse box was replaced from a tripped airbag light. Typical market value is around $32-33k, so it was a deal and a risk I couldn't pass up.
Car still holds full warranty and PO purchased an extended service package that puts it to 6yrs - 100,000 miles. That is a $2k option alone. The M-Sport package is very rare to find in a manual, so that only theoretically drives up the price

The car is literally flawless, it still smells like brand new. Can't complain what-so ever. It's an awesome car to drive.
