1981 Pontiac Phoenix on New Year’s Eve 1982. It was used, with just under 900 miles, hatchback, two tone blue with all the bells and whistles available. IIRC it was around $8,000 out the door - but what I remember was the horrific 27% interest rate they charged since I didn’t have a credit history yet. Despite their bad reputation, the car was totally reliable and I kept it for 13 years, long enough to pay it off and save up the car payments each month afterward so I could pay cash for the next car. That interest rate put me off of ever financing a car again . . .
