I'm 17 years old & right now, the car I'm really looking at is $7000 dollars. It's a efficient & gets great gas mileage...anyway, that's not the point...um, I honestly haven't asked for much from my parents & I really want this car. I know I'll pay for some of it; (I babysit a lot, this past summer alone I made $700 off of babysitting), & they want me to pay for half. I don't think I can pull off $3500, especially when there's going to be tax as well, and I'm busy buying other things for myself...hanging out w/ my friends, getting some clothes...I'm a good student! I take AP Classes & I get a lot of homework, but I still can't ever turn a babysitting gig down; I babysit at least 5 days a week. It gets hard, but I really am working hard for this car & yet I still don't think I'll be able to hit $3500. Is there anyway to convince them to kind of just BUY it for me? I know that sounds selfish, but I'm making what I can, & now school's getting in the way of reaching any goal amount...
