[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A teenager doesn't need a car. Neither does a college student.[/quote] That may be true but we got one for our teen because she went to a private school with no bus or public transportation options, and had extracurric activities, and we were relieved to not have to chauffeur for those last two years.[/quote] +1 I used to think that teens did not need a car either – until I had two teens at different schools and both are heavily involved in extracurricular activities. My teens share a car and we decided that was a better alternative than having them trying to hitch rides with friends who have cars. It has saved us a lot of time and freed us up to do things with our younger kids. Back to the OP’s question. We bought a 4 year Accord with 30K miles from the dealer that we bought our primary cars from and where we get them serviced. My DH always gives the service manager something for the holidays so the guy makes it his mission to take care of us. Add to that that he found out the car was for the kids and he makes sure the car is tip top when we take it in (even doing some things gratis) [/quote]
