Buying the Ideal First Car for Your Teen Driver
Buying the ideal first car for a teenage driver depends on who is doing the deciding – you, as the parent or your teen. As you might very well know, a parent and his teen driver have a very different objective and priorities when it comes to choosing their first car.
Nevertheless, it is not really that difficult to come up with a mutually agreeable decision especially when you and your teen are willing to compromise even a little. So to make the most out of your first investment venture together and try to take a look at this matter from both yours and your teen driver’s point of view.
What really your teen driver wants
Most teenagers, especially boys would prefer cars according to six categories. These
● The style of the car (sporty)
● Appearance (cool)
● Size (room for friends)
● Performance (speed)
● Accessories (customization) and
● Features (great audio system with iPod port)
On the other hand, girls would mostly want a cute car that reflects their personality and put less importance on accessories and performance than boys.
What you want and your priorities
As a parent, your number one concern is the safety of your teen. Thus, you would likely prefer a smaller car that requires less skill level and experience in maneuvering the car especially in emergency situations. Secondly, the cost really matters. Of course you would prefer low purchase cost, low maintenance cost, low operation cost and low insurance cost as well.
While your teen might understand the need for you to prefer a safer car, you and your young driver might struggle agreeing with the cost. This issue will typically lead to the issue of used versus new car discussion.
Obviously, brand new cars are more expensive compared to used cars. However, if the cost is not a big deal for you, then it will not hurt your pocket to buy a new one. Meanwhile, if your priorities are clear and a used car would be a most practical option, then you can absolutely find a great deal especially if you know where to look.
