Help finding my son a new car

My sons 2000 Ford Explorer front wheel completely froze up and destroyed the brakes and there is a problem with the rear axle too. Repair cost is over $1000 and I'm not paying that. Time to look at a new car for him.

Who were the resident dealers on this site again?

Here are the cars he is looking at. Any opinions would be great as I have had it with car shopping these last few years.

Not sure what his career plans are but guess he'll have to get different job to coincide with public transport. Or as I said, $200 a month back to you each month on a loan.

****, leave it up to him to figure it out. You bail him out on this one you'll be bailing him out his entire life. That's what a certain someone that I'm married to can't seem to figure out either.

The problem is we would have no choice but to scrap the car because we have no place to put it that the police woulnd't have a problem with.

You are gonna have to fix the car.


It sucks but lots of shit sucks. Make it drivable and severely restrict the amount of driving he does in your car. It isn't his car until it's paid for in full, at that point he is free to do as he wishes or however you have his free time restricted previously.


He will save more money and can pay off the repairs and the car faster.

Get the car fixed and sell it. Use the money to buy your son this.

I dunno man, I guess you sealed your fate when you loaned him money for a car that wasn't going to be fully insured. That was a huge risk and you're getting burned by it now. You just have to ask yourself how deep you're willing to get with this...if you loan him the money to fix it, then he's into you for a $7k for a car that's worth only half that. And what if something else happens 6 months from now?
