[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People buy their kids cars.  It’s not an UMC thing.  It’s a parent thing.   [/quote]

MC parents don’t have the money to send their kids to college and afford to buy their kids cars. These days, that’s getting harder for even UMC families. [/quote]

Not true. I took loans for college, my parents never made above $60k combined and they still bought me a used Corolla. This was pretty common in our very middle class area. Kids needed (cheap) cars to be able to work. There were no busses or metro trains. [/quote]

It is very much a middle class thing to buy your kid a used car or their old car.   [/quote]

No, it’s not. Real middle class people don’t even own their own cars. They certainly don’t have enough extra cash to drop 20k plus insurance, taxes, and registration to subsidize their college student having a car.

Rich people buy or lease cars for their college age kids, but not middle class people. That’s been true for a long time.[/quote]

How would you even consider thinking you know that .  Of course middle class people own cars.   Everything has gone up in price but people are not giving up cars or giving up buying cars for their kids.    Some parents split the costs of a used car with their kid.  [/quote]
