Why do parents buy their teenagers new cars?

new cars
Hot Like Me! asked:


Everyone know that teenagers have a high risk of being involved in accidents. And yet I see parents (in my line of work), all the time, buying their teenagers new cars. Do they not mind throwing the money away? How about making the kid get a job to earn their car. They might drive more carefully if they’ve worked for the car.

I’d especially like to hear from parents who have bought their teen a brand new car.

    I dunno, my moms buying me a
    56,000 dollar Lexus once I get my license in a
    couple months.
    She likes to spoil me with materialistic things.
    Maybe cause parents can afford it?

    EDIT- Actually, I just rechecked and its 62 grand instead of 56 grand.
    Oh well, its nice if kids can have a nice car.

    my parents bought me a 06 scion xb for my 18th.
    they had just sold their mercedes and bought a bigger car for a lot less and they had the extra money so the figured since i’ve done such a great job in school, i’m getting college paid for through scholarships and all that, that they’d buy it for me. i’m a really responsible teen and im really grateful for that car. i drive carefully just for sake that i don’t want to put myself or any of my passangers in danger. i lost a classmate this year in a car accident. i don’t need to work for a car to have respect for it, my parents, or to determine my driving skills.

    I’m 15 and will be 16 in December. I know already that I’m getting a car, and I get to pick it myself, but I also know I will get the job of driving my 3 little sisters around town. Yes, I’m spoiled, but I’m not proud of it.
