Ok i'm 15, i wondering , if anybody knows, workin a summer job or burger shack how long it takes to earn enough money to buy a newer sled 2003+, like rough idea anybodys got? or experience? .. just trying to set some goals and for some reason a new sled is ahead of a car!
 

You could earn enough to buy an '03 rx1 if you really put alot of hours in (work after school now and in the fall, and as much as possible in summer). Also, you better be mowing as many lawns as you can possibly do before or after work so you have some gas money too. You may be better off buying a sled that is a few years older than the 03's your looking at now, as you will be able to find something for alot cheaper (and wont have to work as much all summer).
 
the best job for kids your age is like what i used to do, manual labor. burger shacks don't teach you jack. you get out there on a roof 90+ degrees 8hrs 6 days a week, you'll start to appreciate your money a whole lot more. now, if your not into that, you can always work for yard or landscape companies. great jobs to work, your outside, you get a work out, and it pays great. heck, you can even go home and do your moms for her and she may tip ya something nice!!! i can't stress enough the importance to work manual labor while you can, it will help you out getting your sled, and believe it or not it will teach you how to use your money wisely. thats just my.02 .... spend wisely!!!
 
If you'd settle for an SRX, ...at the prices they're going for on this site, it might only take a few weeks at Burger King. ;)!
 
or sitting inside all day reformatting windows installations and drinking mountain dew...
 
Well Im 15 and work at a grocery store and make 7.80 CDN an hour. I usually get 15-20 hours per week. So thats around 120 bucks a week CDN. 480 per month. So you would have around 2000 after 4-4.5 months.
 
yeah man, like mentioned above, your best bet is to start looking now for small construction companies that could use some manual labor help. Now is the best time to look because spring is just around the corner and everything is going to be starting back up. Trust me, I did every type of odd and end job during highschool and even through college, and you will find that you can double your pay by looking into a labor intensive job. Working on roofs sucks, but there are some good points....lots of muscle building activities and you will be tan as hell when the summer is over (chicks love it when you're all tanned up). Do yourself a favor and find an outdoor job, you'll have a lot more fun and know that you are getting a lot more cash for your work. Then you can spend the buck on the sled and still have left over money for either mods or all the gas that you are going to burn though come next winter. Good luck in finding something!
 
landscaping pays well. and it is fun if you like being outdoors and building muscle. they also seem to go throiugh a lot of help so they need people in the spring. good luck!
 
landscaping man, especially if you like working with mexicans ;)! There is a reason they do it, all you have to do is work hard and you get some good pay!
 
i live in canada, we don't have mexican's.. i think lol.... but i don't plan to work at the burger shack, i'm a outdoors person , hate being couped up inside, i allpiled for a job a a summer camp counselor, hopefuly i will get that, other wise i can get a job with the company my dad works for.
 
At Your Age It Suonds Like A Bad Idea . You Will Need The Doe For Other Stuff Soon . But If You Put The Doe Yn A Investment At Your Age What You Could Have In Time ??????????
 
when i got out of school i wanted a rx1 in the worst way but my dad talked me out of it. now im verry glad he did. that thing was going to cost 10000 for a kid just out of college. so i took his advice bought a older sled(2000 sxr) and saved some money. i did that for a couple years now that sleds up for sale and a nytro is on the way with way less to finance that the rx1 i wanted a couple years ago. hope this helps
 
yea im 15 and i landscape...i started last spring and was able to buy an 02 sxr 600 for 3200 by october of 04. with about 1000 left over for gas and food...I would deffinately go for an outdoor job....makes things more fun and time goes by quicker instead of staying in one place flippin burgers.

we've got mexicans man,lol, thing is that with the mexicans there's all other kinds of foreigners, they're usually pretty cool people tho, just gotta see past the fact that they're different and you can make friends with just about anyone.
