Well as confusing as the title is. How old were you when you got your tiburon and how did you pay for it.

I was 18 and done my first year of college and i just took a student line of credit and i needed about half more of what i had already to buy my car, so i did that.

I turned 19 2 months after having the car, so i was almost 19 when i bought it

Got mine about 3 weeks ago. Im 27. Back in the day i used to really be in the "import scene" and had Hondas, Acuras...one and the same. Know I have my Tiburon and I love it. But it pisses me off when people talk about how they arent fast and they handle bad, or whatever else. The truth is if it had a Honda "H" on the hood it would be one of the coolest cars ever built.

No kid here....I won my tib two years ago in a contest...I was 34 years old. Paid zero for the Hydrogen blue i4 automatic that I drove home a week later. Couldn't stand it and traded it in for a v6 manual in yellow 6 months later. Minimal difference for a better car imo.

Alright I got mine when I was 19 during my first year of college. I got a scholarship so my rents saved a bunch of money and decided to use my college savings to buy me a car. So they did fully paid off....and they kept the rest. However all the mods I've done, I've paid for myself.
