I have 20 year old son who wanted a new car. And i realized that was a justified request because it took him way too much time to commute on bus and subway for school and he lost his job for being late. So i figured the cheapest new car would cost around $12,000 to $15,000. I decided that my 15 to 20 years saving that i put in my savings account would be used to let him buy a new car. So i wrote him a check for $14,000 and told him to buy a new car in one full payment. However to my shock he did not buy a new car.
He purchased a 1999 Lexus LS 400 for $13,800. That car has 120,000 miles on it. Its more than 8 years old. I expected him to buy somethin like 2008 toyota corolla. I angrily confronted him, but he said the 99 lexus is more comfortable, roomier & powerful than 08 corolla. But how can he ignore that it has 120,000 miles on it? Also, with V8 engine that requires premium gas, he will pay heavy price. I feel the car will break down & need repairs frequently. What do u think?
