you know someones going to ask, so did your parents pay for it? i really don't care but you know someone is going to ask.

Yes...That they did. But it didn't cost as much as some/most of you guys think.

A 16 year old with a new car will be driving ALL over..
And probably doesn't have tons of income..

hes probably one of those kids that mommy and daddy will buy gas as well

I have to say, when I have kids I'd never give them anything near that new or nice.
First vehicles should be rustbuckets, unless the kid pays for it themselves.

i wouldn't say rust buckets but like a 1000 dollar car thats reliable.. idk the percentage but i would say like 50% or more crash their first so make it crappy

If it cost more than $2k, it's too much for your first car. Don't act like you aren't spoiled for getting a free Land Rover as a first car and getting free gas (and I'm assuming insurance, and probably free college when the time comes).

Do you at least have a job? If so, and that money is going to something useful, then it's not so bad. But if you have no job or only pay for frivolous things with the money you make, you're hardcore spoiled.

i dont mind when kids get this type of stuff when they turn 16 as long as they take care of it. there is a kid in my area who i assume is 16 and his parents bought him a brand new gt500. he doesnt take care of it at all and runs the pi$$ out of it. i hope that kid totals it soon just to show he is a jackass. but anyway enjoy your car. its not your fault your parents make that much money so just ignore a lot of people on here

then again i live in an area that its not strange to see a 16 year old with a brand new corvette or escalade so im just use to it.

Ya why the hate? If your parents had money and offered you a land rover youd say no?

Nice car. Looks like it could use a nice detail, though... Polish that bish!

Meh, I think a kid should have something cheap for a first car. It builds character. But I really don't care how nice the car is. It's just that, in my experience, the kids whose parents bought them nice cars for their 16th birthday were the kids who never really had to work for anything. As long as there are conditions to his having the car, I think it's OK (conditions like getting good grades, having a job, paying for practical things, staying out of trouble, not getting tickets, etc).
