What sayeth the lounge- what point does a Teenager deserve a decent car?**
bigbadbird • 04/14/22 10:42 AM ET
Depends on how much they can afford, including gas, maint and insurance.**
B777Fr8Dog • 04/14/22 01:04 PM ET
I'd say they deserve a vehicle that is as safe and reliable

To add how both I and my parents approached this
Tafkam Hokie • 04/14/22 11:55 AM ET
My dad had an old pickup, I drove it, I had an old pickup, my son drove it

"Deserve" may be a bad word

When they meet these criteria...

I guess it depends on your definition of a "decent car."

My kids named their car "The Furnace". No AC. Paid $500 for this beauty.

Vienna_Hokie • 04/14/22 10:49 AM ET
Is that still possible given the spike in car prices the past few years?
HokieNoVA • 04/14/22 12:25 PM ET
I don't see car shortages and price spikes being forever
Tafkam Hokie • 04/14/22 01:18 PM ET
The question was a decent car....
Vienna_Hokie • 04/14/22 12:29 PM ET
And insurance and maintenance. **
WuhBuh-DC_Hokie • 04/14/22 11:24 AM ET

From the get-go. I don't want my kid in a POS that's unsafe.**
Brown Water • 04/14/22 10:49 AM ET
Exactly. I did not understand the point of the post**
MAHokie69 • 04/14/22 12:22 PM ET
Then buy a POS that doesn't run...lol**

I had to be 16 to get a license. A year later...I bought a car.

I worked in HS so bought myself a celiac. I think it was a 1980 version.
