1. Was your first car free, paid for by yourself, or did your mommy buy it for ya? 2. What was your first car and its value? 3. Your views on parents giving their kids nice cars?
This all came about after reading an article on Jalopnik.com about beaters.. Sort of related, interesting read. Click here.
I drove that for about 8 months with no incidents and my mom bought my a 4runner for about 3500 dollars. I still drive it.
My parents are going to help me get a new car here pretty soon because I've taken care of previous cars.
I'm really glad that I had that truck first. I think that if I would have had something small and first to start on I probably would have killed myself with the way I used to drive.
I plan to do the same thing for my kids if I can. I'll give them some big pos to start then move them up to something better. If they are responsible and have taken care of previous cars. Maybe when they graduate high school I'll buy them a new car.

Valid point you have there.
If your parents have the money to buy you a new, reliable car then why not?
Because if you have a new, reliable first car then you won't learn anything and you'll end up being the kind of person that can't even change a tyre.
2. £3500.
3. No, I think its fine. Most kids can't afford their own cars, especially if you just have a part time weekend job. Many of my friends were given nice cars by their parents for their 17th birthday, but they aren't ungrateful. If your parents have the money to buy you a new, reliable car then why not?
2) 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier. Got it for $3000.
3) It's not really a problem. The thing that pisses me off, though, is when they go somewhere and brag about their brand new $30,000 BMW, and they refer it as "their" car, when their parents bought it. Even worse, if they have no information on the history of the car. Like, if they don't even know what BMW stands for, then that's not a good thing. If you're going to brag about something, at least know the history behind it, or else you'll look just like another ignorant rich boy/girl.
I don't mind if parents want to buy their kids a car, I just find it irritating when the kids badmouth other peoples cars and try to show off what mommy and daddy brought them.
I'd rather have my £1200 bike than their £10,000 cars anyway - its much faster ;)
2. What was your first car and its value? -91mr2 i bought it for 2k..well my dad did. my cousin sold it to me so it was a great deal
3. Your views on parents giving their kids nice cars? -i dont see whats wrong with it, people just get mad cause their parents wont buy them a car.
I think it took me all of 6 months to smash that. Nice car though. Worth about 3500 at the time.
It was my learner car.
I could understand the parent like having a crappy old car and then being like here kid you can learn on it while I get the new car. But even then if my future kids did anything remotely close to what my brother has done to the truck he took over, they wouldn't be driving any more.
But I will not buy my kids a brand new car, it will not work that way.
