[QUOTE="Jim parnell, post: 887084, member: 64968"] buying her a good used vehicle with not a lot of $$ invested in her 1st car is wise as she will probably beat it up in some way. When i bought my daughter her 1st car, a very used prelude 5 sp w/ 110K on it, I figured she would learn to drive a mtx, (good thing) and if she beat it up, well, I'm not out a lot of $$, she never put a dent it for 4 yrs, the abs crapped out on it soon after I bought it but that was it, trouble free otherwise. Bought the wife a new car, gave the daughter the wife's old car, (94 accord in almost showroom condition), in 2 weeks she had tried to take out the protective pipes at gas pumps 2x, and hit something else with it as well, all minor but.. point is, she needs to learn on something other than a NEW car. If it lasts 1-2 yrs and she gets it out of her system, you're ahead of the game. She'll be old enough then to buy her own and take more pride in the auto. [/QUOTE]
