RE: A Difficult Decision
last thing a teen needs is a car like that right off the bat, everyone should drive a older car as a first car regardless of how much money you have, also, insurance is going to be nuts for you, you dont even want to know how much thats going to be.
im now 20, always a mature sensible guy, i started with a V-8 96 Dakota (paid half of $1200) then less than a year later got a 95 volvo 850 turbo (paid 2600 for it, exactly what i made on the dakota) two years later i get a 1986 Fiero GT. then a 93 miata, and now a 1978 corvette.
every one of my cars i paid for, i paid for my own gas, my own insurance, repair parts (i do repairs myself) and everything, it really makes you respect what goes into owning a car, having one given to you takes away that experiance, and in short- spoils you.
i love the fact that my corvette is 100% mine, and my blood sweat and tears go into rebuilding it with my own hands.
go with a sporty 4-door, all the fun, none of the insurance.
