Sophie the Monogram ! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Pish · 04-02-2014, 06:01 AM

Hi everyone !

My name is Josh and on March 27, 2014 I purchased a 2014 FR-S Monogram !

In truth I never thought I would ever be able to afford my FR-S .

But I told myself to save my money and work hard to get good credit .

Being a first time buying for a new car I took my mother along since I was nervous going to the dealerships by myself without prior experience .

My mother and I were shocked at the time when they ran my credit score "752" , I had very good credit .

I even was approved for the Toyota 0% credit card which was awesome !

I could put the payment and the card and keep my cash for a rainy day .

I never thought at 21 I would be able to get a new car and not have to pay ridiculous interest !

Here are a few pictures of Sophie the day I got her !

Butt shot !

Loving the daytime running lights

Going to add some tasteful mods on her once I have a little more money saved up so I don't have to live paycheck to paycheck !

Check back for more

Good choices for the ASAP list, it's a great feeling to be able to purchase a car without help at our age.

Nice, I just recently had my car opticoated I wish I had done it right when I bought the car, it makes car washes a breeze!
