well im selling my 92 max se..which i think i should get around $4000 for..and have $1000...and iw ant to buy a new frontier but $5000 for a down payment doesnt cut it..anyone knwo how i could make another $5000 before next summer? but keep in min dim a 16 year old junior in high school so workign full tiem is out of the question...lol..thanks

 

get a job or be lucky enough to win the lotto

 

theres always "street pharmaceuticals" I won't go into detail, but theres always money in that profession and no need for a work permit....

**this can be taken seriously or as a joke, but I encourage you to take it as a joke

 

already got a job...local hardware store making $7.50 an hour..by the end of the year ill be able to retire!

 

"street pharmaceuticals" lol good one

 

well at 7.50 an hour and not working full time i seriously doubt you're gonna raise the 5g's in time...personally at 16 i would keep the max in a heartbeat...

 

its nto that i dont love my max..jsut that im afraid by next yea rim gonan put more $ into the car then its worth..like the exhaust studs ned ot be doen which is $500...and it is a 10 year old car so who knows whats gonna come up next...i lvoe my car and the other htign is if i keep it then i would have to mod it...i already got the cold ai rintake on and next would be exhaust and wheels...buti dunno...when i go off to college then i kidna want a new frontier..any feedback onthis?

 

Keep the Max. Unless it is in dire need of repair, you should keep it. Why do you want a frontier anyway? BTW, you will have to finance that other vehicle in your parents' name(s) because you are not of legal age to enter into a contract. Maybe you can convince your parents to help you out.

 

man you're lucky to even have a car at 16...I was straight up riding the bus and walking until I graduated high school. IMO you don't want the stress of car payments at 16,(cause it was hell for me at 20 ) its more stress than you need, IMO stay with the Max, keep it stock and save up for the next couple of years and when you graduate buy what you want(ie-Frontier)...its not worth it now, but of course the final decision is up to you....

 

as for the street pharmaceuticals, I ran into a friend at the bank (also a weed dealer) and I noticed that his bank receipt said $4,700....and he is an unemployed 18 yr old that drives an 89 geo metro.. street sales do make the money

 

but it all comes down to amount of clientile and how bad you really need the money...my cousin(RIP) used make a couple bucks here and there, but then they blow it on stupid stuff like tennis shoes and **** like that and the process just repeats itself to no real prosperous outcome, its all about frame of mind in that "business" it can be both a downfall and profitable, but thats all I have to say about that...

 

To add to what DA-MAX said before, I don't understand why you feel you "need" a new car at age 16. I'm 21, and my 92 SE is my third and by far NICEST car I've owned to date. I have bought all my cars (3) up front and paid for insurance, repairs, etc. A new car (and the financial ball and chain that comes with it) is not worth it for someone who can't get a full-time job. My friend's mom is a banker and she gave him a loan so he could buy a $8000 Chevy or something, and the monthly payments rendered him broke for years when school was in session.
An alternative to selling drugs to make $5k in a summer is to work for a restaurant / caterer. You end up w/ no social life, but if the money is that important, its not too difficult to pull down $5k in a summer doing that kind of work. My $0.02

 

well guys thanks for your advice..and plus i sa tin ym car today which i just bought like a month ago..and figured damn this car has potential..it already has light tints..a place racing cai which i put in last weekend..and im gonna keep it..nex tn my list is exhaust, rims, springs and a y pipe...also leather seats when i get more $...once again thanks for the help and i realized that i should keep the car..

 

Do what I did when I was younger.. Work 2 jobs. I worked 7 days a week morning till midnight. Plus I used to invest in stocks.. made an average of $3,000/month but the stocks these days are not doing so well so I'd advise against that.

 

have you visited your uncle or grand parents lately? hint hint

 

actually by birthdays comign up..and my uncle said he would buy me the tsw rims ive been having a craving for...maybe aunt will spring for a greddy or brullenc at back? who knows if not ill jsut save my $ so i can mod my car..thanks for the advice..

 

If you need some good money you could always become a pimp. I hear that there is good money in that business. I'm sure a market will not be hard to find. You will just have to look for a few attractive "products".

 

hey think of this. my max was it mint well even better than mint condition. but when you go to collage you will find out about the door dings the a$$ holes who cant drive and run right in to you in the daytime .. go figure. this happened to me. thats another story. so say you drop all your hard earned money (plus you are indebt up to your a$$) to nissan and to your parents. you cant buy beer, or food. and gas becasue you are sooo far in debt to everyone. haha think of that. i wanted to sell my max and be a new BMW but then i would be working my a$$ for a damn car. think about it man. your collage car IS GOING TO BE SMASHED UP. i know. i parked my maxima all by it self. and washed it. did not take it to callage during the winters. but now i don't really care to much about it. well i still wash it sometimes. but after the A$$ hole hit me. i see my car as just a car. good luck, that is just my two cents.

well im nto gonan buy a new car or somehtin for a while...im gonna keep the max..but im gonna mod it..haha...my parents are always telling me how i shouldnt invest $ into this car...either way im gonna start my plans soon just gotta work a bit more for some $...maybe ill throw nos in my car next year? who knows..next i want exhasut, springs, struts, wheels and leather seats...after that ill work on my motor and possibly liek i sai dnos..thanks for your advice

 

I see what whitymax is talking about. I'm in a situation where I haven't been able to mod my car in a long long time and it seems like my urge to buy mods is decreasing everyday. I haven't washed my max in over 3months, I've never cleaned the rims, I took out my stereo system (it's back to stock speakers and CD player), and I replace parts with OEM not aftermarket. This is the total opposite of me with my old SkyBlue max. I would baby that car, washed it once a week, cleaned the rims twice a week, bought mods weekly, replaced parts with aftermarket. It's just weird how I've changed this way.

 

well nevin im guessing its becasue you totalled your skyblue max...once you put all that work and $ into a car and you total it then its not the same anymore...now you have i think its a 90 max? and its nto really worth moding it liek you said because lack of power...and i think it may be because youve seen hard work and $ go down the draian nd dont want it to happen again

 

You have a good point there..

 

My car is bone stock and i love it

 

He's got a point about being sixteen and have a sweet ride man! when I was sixteen I had a damn '85 mustang II,4 banger and BROWN! I didnt have it like that, I had to take what I could so consider yourself lucky dude. Hold on to the ride and spend a little now, youll save yourself alot of headache dealin with those monthly payments! L8tr!

 

and also in college, not only can't people drive, but you might also get involved in a nasty relationship where one day you wake up, go to your car, and find the damn thing keyed to all hell, tires slashed, things broken, dented sheet metal, but then again, that can happen anytime but more so during college because lots of people go through college in a drunken stupor.

 

I have a pearl white 90 gxe max as well and I havent washed it in about 2 months.. Im in college too and I dont think investing a bunch of money into such an old car is wise for me.. I just got a job, but still, why should I be broke all the time for some dumb car? My next car is gonna be a 4th gen max, this 1990 has been unbelievably reliable. I think its the color that causes us pearl white owners to get lazy cuz I can barely tell when its dirty :laugh


j0e-

 

I tell u what. For some extra cash, go see Baby Boy at the theaters. Jody (Tyrese) has a vision on how to make extra $$$ n it works. Sell womens cloths on the streets n in no tyme you will have your 5k if not more. Hence u can even do the "PIMP" deal on the side...

 

no need..imkeepign maxine and moding it...thanks for the advice..lol
