So Close...
I'm one of those guys that doesnt own a honda but just sits and wishes he did. I'm not gonna lie.
So a couple weeks ago, I decide to take the initiative and go out and buy a sol. So I call Merril Lynch as well as a few of the local banks for rates on loans. Then, I search the whole freakin internet and the surrounding area looking for some good sols, and i found some awsome buys. So i pick one and get everything lined up and of course my parents, (yes i'm under 18) say no, you cant have a sports car. One of the many disadvantages of being young.
Freakin ridiculous. It will be mine... dont know when though.
You guys got any tips on manipulating people much older than you? Anything short of death threats i would appreciate.

i guess the sol is a "sports" car. My parents cosigned.....but its not listed as a sports car under my insurance, in fact its less than my old vehicle (volvo 740 GL) cause it was listed as "luxury" Good luck bro

I also had full parental support on my Sol...but I think they were making up for the Volvo 244 DL I had to suffer with for a year and a half. After that I had a Volvo 744 Turbo - fast as living hell with minor tweaking - which the insurance companies charged me up the wazoo for because a) it's "luxury" and b) it was a turbo. The Sol is actually not much more expensive the the tankish 244. State Farm (in my area, anyway) consider it a "sportster" in the same class as the Z3, the Mercury Capri (!) and the Nissan Pulsar. Go figure...

Any sol is considered a sports car in the eyes of insurance because it is a 2 seater with a removeable top. Insurance for male under 25... really high.
btw, you did all the work to find out about a loan and all that stuff, start finding how much your insurance would cost on your parents plan (if they will let you add to theirs). Also, I am guessing you have a job??? but write out a payment plan on how you are gonna pay for your car (assuming you aren't asking you 'rents to buy it for you).
