My teens first car?

My daughter who is 17 just passed her road test yesturday and me and my husband are planning to get her a car soon for her birthday/christmas present, she's my first child to buy a car for so i'm not really sure how much would be a reasonable amount to spend on her first car? (we live on long island, new york)

Answer:
I'M THINKING A TANK (FOR SAFETY REASONS) BUT REALLY YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND MUCH, JUST MAKE SURE IT'S COOL.
$1500.00 A BIG, BIG car!
I would get her an economy car and I wouldn't spend a lot of money after all it is her first car and you never know what is going to happen.
look here

I would say between $3500-$4500
If she takes care of it and keeps her grades up maybe you can later upgrade it for her
It depends on a few things, like how much money you have to spend. I personally like Japanese cars for their dependability but they do not come cheap. Their dependability is wonderful, however they are not particularly safe in crashes so if that is a concern a larger American car might be a good idea. Used or new? A vast amount of power is not a good idea for a first car. Flashy cars can frankly attract the wrong kind of attention either from boys or police officers. So I would get a modest midrange neutral color automatic transmission (they are so easy to learn on!) Honda or Toyota, but thats just me.
well i wouldn't get too good of a car because accidents happen. but also try to get one that has good gas mileage.
not too much because if she just passed i am sure she is nerves and nerves people tend to crash easier. personally i wouldnt get her a new car untill she has had more practice
personally, I think that you should let her get a part time job, whether it be doing side jobs to get extra money such as baby sitting or actually getting a part time job. Let her save up some money and match what ever she saves. Buying her a first car doesn't teach her anything about what the real world is like. Not to mention, She won't take as good care of it knowing that she didn't have to pay for it. Or if you must buy her a car... wait until she graduates high school. I'm speaking from experience here. I was a straight A student, I bought my own car as soon as I was old enough to get my driver's license, and once I had wheels... well lets just say that geometry didn't exist to me anymore... especially with a mall directly across the street from my school, but if you think that she is responsible enough to go to school regularly, try your luck.
Hyundai Accent GLS

1. Inexpensive
2. Six airbags, standard (safety profile close to Civic and Corolla)
3. Best warranty - warranties covering: rust-proofing, roadside assistance in case of inoperable vehicle including accidents
4. Oil changes: virtually free with coupon book
5. JD Power #3 in initial quality (Hyundai nameplate)

Civic is favored by Consumer Reports and many car magazines, but users on Yahoo autos feel that it's pricey for its class. But Honda makes most desirable features standard, whereas Toyota does not.

For safety, price, and customer support, Hyundai looks like the best. See other JD Power surveys, and you'll find Hyundai on top or in the top 3 in many vehicle categories.
IT DEPENDS IF YOU WANT A NEW OR USED CAR.
you should get her a sports car my daddy gave me a porshce when i was 16
first, you shouldnt buy your child there first car...its fuc.ked up and teaches no responsibility...

btw i should mention how old i am...i am 18 years old. my mother offered to buy me a car and i refused, becuase i knew deep down i wouldnt treat it with respect, and i was walking until i could afford my dodge caliber. thats personally what i believe, but if your going to buy a car, make it an A-B car, $5000 maximum
BMW 760Li or a BMW 650Ci or maybe even the BMW M6
My dad got me a used Audi A4 for my first car last year. I love it.
Get something that can be banged up, stained...and you won't get mad.

I would buy a used Corolla for 5K or less.Get a four banger at the most...anything more is treading on wreckless.

And this is speaking from the chick that grew up with a firebird.
get her a hummer.or a BMW...or better yet: AN ESCALADE
something older and more soild but in good condition and with a good safety rating (there are specically designed websites), auto's are the best for first time drivers so they can focus on the road instead of changing gears and not stalling!, i would spend as much as you have to, after all it's her safety not looks
