I'm looking to buy my 17 year old (soon to be) a nice car, please none of the "are you crazy" or "you have too much money". It has to be a nice car, he likes the BMW 5 series, would it be a good car for him? Any other suggestions? Must be BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Lexus, Porsche, Audi or any other quality makes.
I think I already said about the "spoiling" and the "money business". I'm just on to ask about the car, he's getting a nice car. END OF. I don't know whether it's jealous with you people, or what.
 
One problem you may run into if you are buying used, repair work and maintenece can run into some big money
 
Well yea its not jealousy, its just the fact that if you really
cared for your child you wouldnt be buying him a porche with 400+hp under the hood, because all teenagers want a fast car....

Just a bigger chance for him to get killed....

IF you were smart, you can still buy him an expensive fast car but i would take it to the shop first and get it governed down so he isnt able to hit the 160mph the porche reaches too.
 
I've owned plenty of BMW's and they are heavy cars. I would say go for a 135i or 3series..the 5's are ugly... Also the 3series holds it's value well.. I would recommend the hartge m3.. It's more exclusive! Merc are posh taxi's! Lol. Even better than a GERMAN wagon is a jap car.. Like Acura or or honda..(same manufacturer) the rsx type-r is a seriously nice case..dc-5 in white or black. Get your kid some racing lessons if you go for a BMW as I doubt he is use to drifting on the m25 at circa 155 mph.. Noting wrong with a lad in a nice car if he knows how to handle it..
 
How about a Ford Mondeo, they're much better built that A LOT of 'luxury' cars nowadays.....And your son obviously won't have a clue about the value of money, will he?!
 
Man that is one lucky kid of yours. Its not jealously dude. But you are coming on Yahoo Answers to ask a question like that. If you have the money to buy your son an expensive luxury car, then you should have the brains to know whats a good car for him. Nobody is jealous but the truth is not everyone is brought up with a silver spoon in their mouth.
