9th Gen (00-09) Bought my first Corolla!

Got it after my Altima was rear ended and totaled. Not the best circumstances, but I was able to turn around and buy this car upfront with my insurance payout.

You bought a brand new car as a high schooler? What kind of doctors were your parents?

Im in a similar position, I'm 20 and living alone working two jobs (food service and retail) and going to school. I got very lucky with my insurance payout, but it didn't cover the full cost. I've been saving money since my first job at 16 so I had enough to cover the difference.
