Your friend needs to learn Math :dunno:

If even the cheap used S2Ks are around 15K he's still short 7K h:
If he put that 8K as a down payment, he's still looking at a monthly payment as well as insurance which will be through the roof.

But hey, if he can get it all under his parents name that's another way he may be able to afford it.

But since we all live in the real world, he should look into a cheaper car.

:rofl: :lmao: :rofl: Being 16 and having $8000 with probably no credit and very little income and only expenses ahead of him, his best bet is to get a Civic.

Not even getting into insurance. How dumb is he?

I wish I had 8k when I was 16. Parents money?
And if I ever saw a 16 year old driving their own s2k, I would piss on them.

I see 17 - 20 year olds driving them all the time, not like they are really that expensive to buy, but insurance is a bitch.

if he's got a job, and can afford monthy payments, and the insurance they do it. I'm with most everyone else, he should get a civic, or a teg first.
