For me to buy a car, I would first have to have money.

[Bento Espinosa]

I'm not asking for correction. I'm just unsure where to insert the word "first". Which sentence sounds better? Are all three equally good?

1) For me to buy a car, I would first have to have money.
2) For me to buy a car, I first would have to have money.
3) For me to buy a car, first I would have to have money.


Thank you very much!

Thank you for correcting your profile information. Please note that I have changed your thread title - titles must be unique, relevant only to your thread, and include some/all of the sentences you're asking us to look at.

All three sentences are possible. The first and third are most likely to be heard from a native speaker. I wouldn't use the second but it's not grammatically incorrect.

I agree all three are possible. I actually prefer the third one the least. My preferences are the order listed.

There's a fourth option:

For me to buy a car, I would have to have money first.
