The safety feature in new cars are very important.
Might surprise people but the Chevy Trax and Chevy Trailblazer which the base model is $22,000 for the 2025 model is the number one seller to teenage drivers. Yes teenagers buy them brand new.
A used car has way less safety features and break down. And good used cars are like $15,000 to $20,000 and have dated safety features and little to no warranty.
My daughter has a job she is saving up for college spending money. And my other daughter is saving up for grad school why would I take the money from them? They save, I have access to see their accounts.
And why does my HS daughter need to own a car? she is off to college in less than one year.
And my other daughter is going to move out to city or go to grad school in a year or two. Why would she want to buy my old car.
Plus who is fixing this car, insuring it, putting gas in it. How does a 16 do this.
Obviosuly not since you are aliive. But even so a cheap 2025 Chevy has 10X safety features then a 2015 Mercedes
Our Chevy was a death trap.
