When my kids are old enough to drive
I will probably buy a 15+ year old beater car that I can have liability only on for them to drive. And they will make payments on it until it is 50% paid for.

Lots of things in life I dont understand - giving teens nice cars is one of them

Its a hand me down after my 18 year old drove it - so believe me when I say that

So your 18 y.o. had an even NICER car at 16?

Well before him my wife drove it. I don't want to say her driving skills are bad

Big difference in customer service vs your run of the mill dealer when you own

Oh, I might purchase a 3rd car, but it won't be a gift.

What year are they? It could very well be that a 2003-2010 BMW or Range Rover will look newer and nicer than your

Yep lots of 2014 BMW's under 14K. Crazy how fast they lose their value.

It's how perception is reality. People are terrified of a huge repair. Once they hit 60k miles they tank. They tank

So the parents are well off, especially if the car is really "their kid's". I remember my Grandpa (who was a carnut)

Beemers and Range Rovers tells me those parents are just so rich I can't compare anything in my life to their choices

Or those parents are so far in debt you can’t compare it to your better choices!

Can you imagine when it’s time for them to get a new car after getting married? Not sure which to get, BMW? Rover? Benz?

You'd be suprised. My kids all come from a line of luxury cars, Benz, BMW, Lexus, Land Rover, etc.

I don't understand giving teens a car. They can use mine or buy one. I'm happy
