[quote=Anonymous]I have a 17 year old DS. When he got his permit, we agreed that we'd match his contribution to purchase him a used vehicle. He's spent the past year saving half of his checks from a job at a pizza parlor- ended up with about $2100 (plus our $2100). He got a 2004 Honda Accord with 136k on it. Not much to look at, but Accords are reliable and safe so it's all goo. Plus we keep telling him to think of stories he'll have to tell his kids ..."uphill to school both ways in snow up to my hips" kind of thing. All those parents who buy their kids new cars when they're 16 are robbing them of potential stories and hardships to share with their kids. That's our story and we're sticking to it, LOL! We could've afforded something nicer, but that's not really the point. [/quote]
