Hello everyone ! I'm buying my camaro within a few weeks and im 17. I have a job that will be able to pay for the monthly finance, gas, and insurance. I worked really hard to save up enough money for the down payment. I am looking to go away to college next year and i was wondering who is in college and pays for their own car. is it hard to handle with all the school work and mantain a job ? Also did you bring your car with you on campus PLEASE HELP . please dont tell me not to get the car because im paying for it myself and its my reward for working my ass off and sacrificing every weekend which mens not going out just to work

Depends on your major. It can get pretty hectic.

I did it, although not until after my second year, three years ago now. I had already moved into my own place off campus by then and had a really good reliable job.

It can be done but don't forget to budget extra money. More than you think, for unexpected expenses.

Depending on which model you get. I wound up with a brand new 2012 2ls, pretty affordable, and my insurance is not too bad either. I was also able to mod the crap out of it haha! It really depends on what school your attending, what your major is, etc. A 25,000 (in my case 31,000) dollar car is quite the distraction. AND NEVER EVER PARK ON CAMPUS. I had my vinyls scratched by a key. For some reason college students love tearing up camaros.

Make sure you think that through man. A LOT of unforeseen expenses associated with going to college. Both with classes/books/school stuff and with utilities/food/living expenses..

Plus you will be lucky if nobody messes with it. Haters are everywhere at colleges.

I'd get a g8 in my honest opinion. Pretty much a 4 door camaro and you can get them dirt cheap. Also since it's a sedan doesn't call as much attention as a camaro. People will not be inclined to vandalize it.

Its all about scheduling. I had no problem working a normal job while in school, I scheduled all of my classes on Monday and Wednesday for the semster. Or on Tues. Thurs for the semester.

So I could always work three days a week, and on the weekend. Undergrad and Masters, and I only had one semester that I couldnt get all my classes on two days, and I just made it work.

Get a job where you can work 3-4 days a week, and have nights off to study. You dont want to be working all night and have an exam the next day, cramming is important

It gets pretty difficult especially if you're gonna be a full time student that means less hours at work and less money.

It ain't easy, it depends alot on your major, but it can be done.

I say hold off on the Camaro. Just my opinion. If you need a car get a beater. I rode around for 3 years of college in a $1500 94 Fleetwood Brougham. Trust me there will come a time when Oddles and Noodles along with a hot plate become your best friend. Even if you gave it a year or two first just to see how things go and then revisit the Camaro idea.
