27- this is my first Audi.
I've owned VW's since 23, Messed around a little with Jeep Wranglers here and there and I was big into Fox body mustangs before VW's. It's funny, I had a near drag only mustang so I bought a pristine 88 GTi 16v as a Daily driver. I had no idea what I was in for[;)]

Toyota Corolla @ 17
Jetta VR6 @ 18
97 A6 @ 21
98 A4 @ 22 (After I wrecked the A6 when a deer jumped in front of me)...
The only car I didn't pay for on my own was the corolla which was the "family beater" even though I was the first driver in the family...
Was a 91 POS that was fully paid off before I even got my license...
25 now, if I didn't have a house, I'd have rolls... or something as equally retarded in price.

WTF? are all you rolling in cash or from rich ass families? I drove an 1982 Rabbit diesel through high school that i got handed down to me. I fixed it up and then it crapped out when i went to school. then i rolled with a 90 Camry through college, moved to Chicago and it got stolen after two years, then I was given my mom's old Volvo 740 station wagon, then we sold that, then i bought my buddies Mazda MX3, it got stolen outside a club, then i got a Nissan Maxima that I totaled when i was drunk, then i got my Audi last November. Thank god for insurance because i only paid $7k plus the insurance $$ from my maxima for my Audi. And i am 29.

Well, in my case...
Jetta - $10k (3 year loan)
A6 - 13K (3 year loan, insurance gave me more than what I paid origionally)
A4 - 16k (4 year loan -- Still paying on, have approx. 1 year left)
Not rollin in cash, but I'd rather drive a 6 year old audi, than a brand new escort.

did all this younger people buy therse cars themselves, and make the payments themselves?
Im 20, go to school full time and work part time (at a medical making decent cash), and i have a hard time making the money for the payment and the insurance.

yeah for real, so far i think i am the second oldest in this chain (29), you know what though, when i was in high school, i was pretty cool with my 82 rabbit diesel. It was gold, 5spd, i dropped the front end and raised the back end with spring clamps, had a sweet sound system, put a front spoiler on with fog lights and i ripped out my exhaust so it would be loud as f$$$. I was into VWs then. That said, times have changed and nowadays A4s are like the rabbits and the beetles and the golfs from our hayday. those of you that have A4s and you are in high school, you should feel pretty good about yourselves. just my .02. all i know is i love my a4 and i told my girlfriend that if it ever came down to it, i would choose my ride over her [;)] [a4]

last july i wrecked it and i told my parents i didnt feel i should be able to help pick out the next car with what insurance gave us, but asked if theyd get a manual transmission... lucky for me, it was an a4...

No hate bro, it's just that most people here seem to be pretty young.
I thought I was doing pretty well for myself driving a 98 A4 at 27!!!! LOL!!! Guess not when some on here drive 2000 or newer A4's at 17.
BTW, just so you all don't think I'm a total loser for getting my first(and only) Audi at 27, I'm Married, Own a 3k sq ft house 30mins from the beach( I can afford this because I sold my townhome for alot in the Wash D.C. metro area), my Audi is paid for and the only debt my wife and I have is the note on her 02 Grand Cherokee. Of course, since I have somewhat "grown up priorities" I have no money to mod my car[mad]

26 when I bought my '01. That was 3 months ago I'm 27 now.
When I was 16 I got a '79 Trans Am and drove it until I was 19 and got tired of working on it and bought a 97 Nissan P/U brand new as my first new car purchase. I enjoyed not having car pmt for a couple of years but needed a car that was more useful than a 2 seater 4 cyl. truck.
Needless to say I've been very happy with my A4. (for now?)

I live at home, Work full time, work part time, and go to school full time at Devry. Parents bought my car for me becuase they didnt want me making payments on a car i might not be able to afford. So every once in awhile ill just hand them a check just becuase.

28 I needed a decent winter beater to replace my ageing nissan p/u that I bought new. A4 seems to work pretty well for that.
Still can't touch my summer ride for a fun factor tho.
<holds head in hands> I was 29 and the car was already used!
Now 33 and still yet to experience new-car ownership.
you young 'uns are certainly lucky. I am envious, but don't take that the wrong way; oh how I would have loved to have an Audi as a college kid. too busy studying/drinking to hold a serious job though.

Haha, and that list doesn't include my motorcycle list. I, for a long time, have been torn between getting an Evo or the A4. The A4 happened to be a lot cheaper than an Evo, and a lot nicer of a car! I get my turbo, AWD and manual trans, but I also get heated leather, comfy seats, and a sweetass switchblade key! And for a quarterlife crisis car, I've enjoyed it a lot! Soon to come...wheels, chip, DV, K04, LED headlight conversion

haha well the first one i owned for a short while, one of my fathers friends was really interested in it (No idea why) so i sold it to him and made a few dollars on that. Next one was a silver one that some grampa drove, the car was in mint condition but unfortunately automatic. After a few months i just couldnt stand it anymore. The Casa white one i bought damaged for $900 (bumper was scratched up, blown head gasket and a dying turbo)

Got my first B5 A4 1.8T volcano black (still driving it) at 17, then bought an used B5 A4 1.8T pearl white at 21 and built it as a track toy but flipped it twice after having it for around 2 years. Although i flipped it twice, i only received 7 stitches on my hand. Thank God and Audi!!!

was saving up for my first car since 14 and right before i was about to drop some cash on a pristine e30 325 my grandad called and wanted to give me his b6 a4 cab so naturally i took him up on his offer. I was also looking at b6 a4s for my first car but they were out of my price range, funny how things work out?

bought mine cash @ age 25. had to sell my 72 mgb because owning three cars for one person would be silly! also i rarely drove the mgb so i figured id treat myself and buy a nice car that was fast and that i could use all year round.

20... dumb, and way too excited :P
Didnt know what to look for in a B5 and had a great 'learning experience' with that car.
Now I own my second B5 which I bought at a mature 22 and she is my favorite thing in the whole wide world.

One thing I am gathering, and hope we can all gather from this thread in a loving manner (of course) is that we are all broke from our cars :)

My first car was 1996 Ford Contour which crapped out on me (head gasket)
My friends dad was selling 1997 Audi A4Q with 53k on it for $5000 so I bought that
Then i drove by one of the dealerships and saw 2000 S4 and told my self I have to have it. Went and picked it up the next day and sold A4 to my brother who ran it to the ground 10k miles later (should of kept it damn it) Now I have 2000 S4 which i regret buying :)
