[quote=Anonymous]I think you really missed the boat on a good lesson on sensible spending. Given the high accident rate for new drivers and teens’ propensity for scraping along curbs, parking lot lamp posts, etc., we told our kids that we were going to buy them safe but affordable used cars, because it would be a lot less expensive to repair and we were all less likely to get worked up about small dings and scratches on a car that wasn’t pristine to start. It wasn’t a punishment or a criticism of them personally, it was acknowledging the realities of new drivers and not setting them up by spending an absurd amount of money on their first cars. Once they are older with more driving experience, they can make the call themselves on whether they want to buy a more expensive car.[/quote]
