what type of car do you have? I am looking into getting one for my son and I am in left field here. His father is not in the picture so no help there.

Well, you can try Toyota or Honda if you want a good reliable car for your son. That's the route I went when I was looking for a car. I have a toyota corolla, and it has yet to fail me. It gets great gas mileage too. They aren't speedy little sport cars, but they will do :)

I agree, Toyotas and Hondas are good reliable cars with great gas milage and they hold their value.  I've had a Honda Civic, a Honda Accord and a Toyota Corolla.  My next car will be a Honda Element.  You can probably find him a good used model for a reasonable amount.  :thumbsup:

I am a 69 year old grandfather with 2 sons. Their first vehicles were pick up trucks. They are safer because they are not perceived as speed cars. Also if you get the regular cab they will not have a car full of kids in the back seat. Also they can make extra money moving things. Good Luck. :)

Now here's a tip from a WISE MAN!  :thumbsup:

Make it one of the little 4 cylinder trucks that gets terrific mileage and costs less to insure.

I'd have to agree with the truck people.  My son had a couple of cars to start with but couldn't keep from hitting other cars until he got a little Ford Ranger  ;D

I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada and it looks great, but gas mileage sucks... however, it is paid for and I plan to drive it until it won't go anymorei!  :thumbsup:

My son is an import mechanic, and he has told me that Toyotas will run absolutely forever, although he's a Nissan fan.
