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.

That just seems so strange. It seems the only people who'd actually have incentive to get insurance are those with a large estate or a newer vehicle that's still being paid off.
It is true. It's also true that if you cause an accident without insurance you lose your license until you pay for the damages. Statute of limitations comes into play but I don't think it should.

You can. There are tons of avenues available to take the ****ing money from them. In Brock's case, he would've had to wait in line and it wasn't worth it. I would've done it anyway though just to watch the ****ers squirm when the shit head kid, AND the mom both lost their drivers license.

The sad thing about it was the kid had proof of insurance, but the policy was out of force for non payment. Insurance companies should not issue 6 month cards unless you paid for six months but they do.

I'm with you... My son has seen his last gimmie with daddy-provided car fixes. I get that less kids these days are gear heads than back in my day (how can you be with modern cars - no points and plugs!), but no young man, and I mean NO YOUNG MAN (!!!), should need much help figuring out a bad starter and need help changing it. And taking it to the shop to get such things fixed should cost you dearly, it's dumb, and dumb should cost you.

There, I said it!

Mine's first car lasted 3. The ONLY thing that didn't suck was that it only cost $500. What really sucks is that it was worth a LOT more, but the neighbor thought the world of him, so it was his for 500 of my $s.

I love that he lived at school, but these things tend to piss me off a bit.

But in the end he's doing a lot more right than some of these irritants, but I still think diagnosing a bad starter and changing it should be in every young man's ability.

If your son is 18 years old and doesn't know basic auto repairs/diagnostics then that's your fault.

You wouldn't know your ABCs if you weren't taught.

Meh, mine has done a lot of car "maintenance" (oil changes, jumping a car )properly), differential fluid changes, bleeding breaks, battery replacement, changing lights (and entire lenses too!!), brake pad changes, plugging of tires, and some others....), but the 'ol hammer-on-starter trick never came up because it's the first failure. He learned, I just want him to learn more.

Oh, and OBD-II systems suck when it comes to not starting issues!

Agreed! I don't even print cards anymore because the geico.com app has it stored right on it. And I, ya know, pay my ****ing insurance every month.

Yes, but it's not rebuilding an engine either.

I ****ed up a few major suspension components on my cars as a teen. I got to fix every one of them because my mother didn't have the money to fix them.

His kid can do it with a little supervision.

Every person is different, not everyone is mechanically minded. If a kid is tearing up a car being dumb then let him walk or get a ride.

I agree. I wasn't very mechanically inclined. It took taking on a lot of jobs above my then skill level to get better at it.

If I may point out, if your kid is wrecking cars and not being responsible, you might want to look for a root cause, such as weed and alcohol.
