How can I convince my parents to let me buy a car?

• I'm 14 years old and I've been wanting to get my own car since I was 8. Where I live, one can get a learners license at 14, so I do drive but with a parent in the vehicle (I can get my real license at 16). I'm also a pretty competent and safe driver. I know I'm a little young to own a car, but hear me out and you might understand my reasons for wanting one. A while ago my parents told me that if I really had my heart set on getting a car, I could get one when I got my learners if I paid for it myself, maintained it properly and paid for all the care the car needed, etc. I've saved up about 2000 dollars and I'm also about to receive 800 dollars for taking care of my neighbour's house for 6 months. I've also remained a straight A student and been very responsible (not getting into trouble, doing all my homework, etc.). After saving up money and having my eye on an excellent condition yet very cheap camaro (1000 bucks, it has a V6 engine in it instead of a V8, SLIGHTLY faded interior, etc but overall great condition car, this guy has lowered the price several times because he's desperate to buy a truck and doesn't want a camaro anymore), my parents told me that I can't buy a car anymore. I think they were pretty shocked with the fact that I really went through with the whole saving up money thing and thinking it through carefully. However, when I asked why I couldn't get one, they told me because driving in winter would be tricky with a camaro. I agreed with that, but told them that I would happily pay for storage in the winter (they keep their cars in the garage already so I can't keep it parked there) and drive it as much as possible in other seasons. I understand that having a rear wheel drive car in an area with a harsh winter climate such as mine is not the best option, but I don't have enough money to buy an SUV or anything and we already own one. I would drive my parent's cars, but my mom drives a Saab 92x Aero and does NOT want me driving it (she's really protective of it) despite the fact that I'm a safe driver. My dad says that I can drive his clunky, old, poor handling SUV "when he's not driving it" and it's a daily driver for him. Basically, if I don't buy a car for myself I can never drive. I have lots of "backup cars" that I could buy in the same price range (within 200 bucks) if the Camaro is a problem or isn't mechanically up to snuff (if I am to buy a car I plan on getting it looked over by a mechanic before driving it, I would also pay for this). My only problem is insurance, which is pretty expensive. However, I told my parents that I would be willing to pay for insurance in part (this is not their biggest concern, we are a wealthy family but they seem more concerned about me being responsible when owning a car). Sorry for the kind of long question, but I thought I should give you all the details on the situation. It's a nice, reliable car that I'd really like to own, and I'd have plenty of money left over for maintenance and whatever (well over 1000 dollars and I plan on making a lot more), but my parents don't seem at all sold on the idea. What can I do to persuade them to let me buy this car?

• Answer:

  definitely gotta drive with them more, if your as safe of a driver as you say you are, you should have no problems convincing them. the real problem is, you dont need a car right now. yes at 16 youll have a real licence so you can drive it around, but it seems unreasonable to successful parents to pay for insurance when you dont need a car right now. and even if it isnt the biggest issue, its just kind of wierd for a 14 year old to be asking so desperately for a car, again what do you need it for? having 2000 at your age is uncalled for, and im pretty sure your parents dont want you spending that kind of secure money on something like that right now, wait two more years and if your parents dont have to school you in the car by then, and you have enough money to pay for your own insurance, AND they dont suspect you of doing anything fishy with a car you were so needing for, then im sure things will be easier, youve done alot from what ur telling me, two years is nothing. since your not satisfied with that answer obviously, if they dont think your responsible enough, then your gonna have to find a way to prove you are, otherwise theyre just making excuses which means they just dont want you to have it because its just strange you need a car at the age of 14
