Autoresponders! So...what to do? She wants something cool to drive , but she does not have enough of her own money to influence your decision. Of course, not having money has never prevented her from influencing all those other decisions, but this time you are going to hang tough! You hope. You, on the other hand, want something safe-- like maybe a Sherman tank-- but you don't want her to feel like a geek, because that will make YOU look like a geek for getting her a geek-mobile. One excellent choice here in Sunny SoCal (where a car is presumed to say something about the driver within), is a "gently used" BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, Infiniti, etc. These vehicles not only have the 'cachet' required by discriminating 16 and 17-year-olds, they are safe and well-built. They hold their value (some better than others) so they are worth something when she decides it is time to move on to the next thing (usually within a week or two). Check with your bank or credit union about getting her a loan in her own name. It will be difficult, and impossible if she has no job, but you may have developed a strong enough relationship with them to carry the day. It doesn't hurt to ask. It also doesn't mean you won't have to bail her out or pay it outright, but the earlier that young people can establish car credit, the better. Anyone will happily accept you as a co-signer, but you should still shop for a rate. You will want her listed as the owner, on the top line of the contract. Many times this detail is overlooked and a wonderful opportunity to establish rock-solid credit is missed. Don't forget about the insurance factor! Adults have a tendency to forget just how much it costs for kids to insure their cars. It can easily exceed the amount of the monthly loan repayment, and if it is a sports car you might want to take back a second mortgage. So, try to relax a little if you can, bite the bullet, do your homework. You knew it wouldn't be easy, you knew it was coming...but why did it have to come so soon? It is the loss of control that is so mortifying, the thought that they have somehow moved beyond your sphere of influence. Just remember-- you raised them right, you armed them well...and anyway, what can you do? You can't exactly ground them for life.... Or can you? Hmmm....
