Should I trade?

I was linked a beautiful 2012 IPL manual example @ only 85k for a similar price, but when I ran it by my mom she said manual is out of the question. Really might just wait until I’m 18 so I can do as I wish but now that I drove that one yesterday I’ve been bit by the bug.

And as far as turning 18 goes... you might not want to fly that independence flag until you move out. Just saying, keep the peace.

I’d be going off to school ~4 months after I turn 18. Likely somewhere in the Southern California area or Arizona so I can take the car with me. Since the manual is out of the question, I linked that car to the dealer I visited yesterday. Not sure if mom will bite on a 100k car (even though her 2012 Honda Pilot is @ 150k) but I’ll see if that guy will at least offer, since that’s the same ask as their journey coupe.

A lot of colleges don't allow freshmen to have cars if they live in the dorms. Might want to look into that.
Hmm, lots of personal info going on here, but it is an advice thread after all

100% chance I would've killed myself if I had anything more than the 118 horses my Mazda could provide...I raced everything I got behind the wheel of. Good times.
Our new Mod makes a good point about the college parking policy though. Why even deal with this now when there's a possibility you won't even be able to enjoy the G?
My take: The G37 isn't going anywhere. Get to college, get settled and see what's what before making any moves. Just an opinion.
Then again, I was 17-18 not too long ago so I know what I'm suggesting sucks.

Turns out that 2012 Isnt a manual and may not be an IPL, still seems clean and if anything that just gives me more leverage. I'm going to test drive it next week and let you guys know how it goes.

Or it may or may not be an IPL? Seriously?Those are two really big considerations that you just glossed over and said "seems clean".
If anything, that lack of perspective is strong argument to sit down and think twice. Take a month off from this project and let it sit in your head for a while.

No 6MT and not an IPL... Or it may or may not be an IPL? Seriously?

EDIT: The car is in fact an IPL, the reason I thought it looked so clean was due to the fact that it is an IPL
. Don't be too ashamed of my cavalier attitude, I have a very financially conservative mother pulling back the reigns.

Do yo really want to park a nice [or one perceived as nice] car on campus?
If you have the need for speed, get a motorcycle. Well maybe not. I got my first bike well into my 20's. Probably would of caused significant bodily harm if I got one earlier.
Best advice: Listen to your mom, she knows best
