Kids n Cars

Word to yo mutha! 17 years ago I asked her to be my lady, she accepted, and I drove away in the Oldsmobile. But I saw her again the next day in math class. Very romantic.

So make sure your daughter gets a car she can meet her future husband in.

Well if that ain't a case for getting her a better car...

i think you should get her a van with a fold out bed in back

she would have the coolest "wheels" in school

seriously though, the cheap taurus seems like a good option. keep in mind she has 2 things working against her

1. she's a brand new driver on the scene

2. she's a woman

we're talking about bumpers cars here. no need to buy anything fancy for awhile

Women are better drivers. That's why my car insurance is cheaper than yours is.

Get her the cheapest safest car, you pay for it so you can control it. She buys it herself, and she pays the insurance, and gas then she feels that she has the control of the car. I am sure your daughter is wonderful and doesn't give ya any problems, but the realities are that you and her could get into a power struggle over the car, she paid for it and it is in her name.

My parents bought me a safe affordable used car. I fucked up in school I had the car taken away. I fucked a fat chick they took the car away. I paid the insurance and stole lunch money from fat chicks to pay for gas, but the car was my parents.

Ok, that actually is a good point...

My kid is taking her driver's lisence test tomorrow! Anyway, I was confronted with this very same issue. My best friend lives in NC and I asked him to buy a good coupé for her off of ebay. You people pay peanuts for cars over there!

Anyway, his wife has a house in the Provinz southern France, where he keeps his old Mercedes CE 300 Coupe. He just gave to her. All I need to do is go pick it up. I got lucky with finding a solution, huh?

Do you mean the part about getting lunch money from fat chicks?

For those of you that have been through this....

Did you help your teen purchase/finance a car?

Make them save enough to purchase their own?

3-year old 2008 Kia Optima with less than 11,000 miles purchased for book value using my daughter's college money. Joint 5-year loan at 2.74% financing to help establish her credit. She will pay it off in 2 years or so.

She is responsible for gas and insurance and maintainence. Funds are from her college money for now. She had to have transportation. It's her car and was purchased through the college money saved for her.

I used my savings for my first car but was about 1700 short. My parents financed what I didn't have and then I paid them back.

My daughter has a PT job and has been saving for awhile but nowhere near enough. Thing is her having a car would benefit me A LOT!

My mother matched me dollar for dollar in the purchase of my first car. I also was required to maintain a 3.0 GPA and "stay out of trouble". I paid all the gas, mom paid the insurance. Title was in her name so if I violated the trouble cause the car got revoked.
