you sure about that, because with everybody I've talked to, including my insurance company, if there are 3 drivers in teh house and 3 cars, everybody has to be a primary driver, no matter who owns the car or pays insurance (assuming there are 2 other cars, and drivers in his house)...
There will be a primary driver on any cars, but the deal is, any licence driver that lives at that address has to be accounted for, regarless if they are family or not.

With a car payment/ insurance/ food/fun/possibly room and board ... not to mention a girlfreind ofcourse he could easily spend that kind of money ... It doesn't matter how much you make, most of us live beyond our means ... not 20% below our means ... so you come on mr. save-a lot.

wow, i never though about it that way. when i break everything down weekly between rent, gas shopping, smoke/drinks/partying, insurance, bills, and other things i would be spending a lot of money each week. Good thing i gotz a good paying job and money in the bank. I feel feel sorry for anybody that lives paycheck to paycheck.

good point mark on the whole possibilty of money spent in a week!

if i were you, i'd drive the car you have into the ground and in doing so you can save up money for a car you actually want. if it does die before you have enough money for a new car, you can always throw a new motor in it for dirt cheap and get another 100k out of it. if i was 18, i'd never want to be tied down to a financing agreement. Save the money up do you dont pay interests on the loan.

Saving the money is safer and you pay less in the end. It's only smart to do so. Unless of course you don't mind paying interest.

what if he invest in a new motor but then starts to run into other issues one after the other. breaks, wiring, bodywork, etc. I do however strongly agree that geting into debt or being tied down at 18 is really really really not good for anyone.
