Yeah, that’s what we did. It’s not technically his.

And we have another son 13 months younger. This is going to make for some great battles this summer and moving forward.

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

Your daughter's car is nicer than mine.

Same, I drive a 2008 Sonata

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

BYUfan92

1/24/23 3:05pm

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

Ragnar Danneskjold

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

Still better than mine

Same, way nicer and newer than my car. Or the car my kids drive.

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

I will not be buying my kids a car at all.

We do a 100% match.

I said that too until my younger kids needed to be picked up from a friend’s

reagan21

1/24/23 3:06pm

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

Cougarclaw

Yeah, that’s what we did. It’s not technically his.

I haven't ever bought a car for my kids.

Eddie

My kids drive a couple of my cars all the time, especially to taxi themselves

We don't pay a cent for our kids' cars, but we do give them an ebike

Perhaps but ... my two college kids are 100% financially independent and my son

I say that but I also value not having to Drove them around any more

Same with freshman. Helaman Halls is littered with expensive vehicles.

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.

Malathion

1/24/23 3:22pm

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

Bert609

1/24/23 3:24pm

New on the Tesla and Range Rover I'm told. Not sure on the BMW

BYUfan92

1/24/23 3:33pm

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

When my kids are old enough to drive

zerigke

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

byujag

1/24/23 3:11pm

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

RossoNeri

My kids got the old cars.

I buy my kids BMW's when they get to high school.

For a second there I thought you were saying your HS kids are 30 yrs old.

Eddie

I drop my kid off at Corner Canyon HS in the morning and most of those kids

I don’t buy my kids cars, but they can use one of our family cars.

Hmm, my kids drove a 2001 Sequoia w/ 240k+ on it until it rusted out and failed

I intentionally gave my boys beaters so they had to learn to fix and maintain it

Hobo

I'll give you at least one argument

kccougar

1/24/23 3:28pm

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?

PJMort

1/24/23 3:31pm

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

Bert609

There are 3 G-wagons in my son's high school parking lot

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

cracka

1/24/23 3:43pm

Same, except I wouldn't finance it for them. I wouldn't want to be obligated

We bought a hail damaged Ford Focus when the kids started

I want a fun third car. I don’t want four cars when my son turns 16 so maybe

timponyloco

Wow. . . Your daughter's friends are very blessed. I wouldn't do that.
