As you'll see in countless other "My parents bought me X" threads, the "car ain't that special" comment got an eyeroll from me. Granted, I imagine you meant it a tad differently than the way I took it, but...
Here's a likely flame-proof translation:
My parents bought me a car and I definitely want to take care of it. A 2004... I'm a bit stunned.
Anal, over-the-top, semi-flame-proof translation:
Oh my god! I am so lucky to have parents that would buy me a 2004 car! I want to do the right thing and protect it.
My vote is sell the car (if it's in your name), buy some extremely reliable, quality vehicle and invest the balance.
