Loan at 17?

Most of them have the ability......it's the willingness to pay that they lack.

I once had a cosigner return a letter to me with a note scribbled on it requesting I insert that letter into my anus //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
Wow, classy.

 
Under 18 = no legal contracts

If the parents sign for it, and keep him off the note, it will happen, but then they are on the hook. If they buy for him after he is 18, without him on the note, then it's a straw purchase, which is a felony. Best case scenario for his dumb ***, wait til he's 18, and get one of his parents to co-sign for him. At 17, he'll get laughed out of the bank. That means he's got until the time he turns 18, to save up as much cash as he can, to shrink the size of the necessary loan.

 
I was thinking and if he got the loan for say 72 months. Thats dirt cheap. Hell the payments would be so low. So I don't get why everyone is saying oh hes gonna be in financial ruin. If he makes the $300 a month payment which is dirt cheap, there should be no problems.

The amount of interest one would pay on a 72 month loan astounds me.

A 6 year loan on a depreciating asset is just a bad idea. Smart buyers won't do that, buyers that want to buy more than they should do.
