Oh, I agree. My first car was a POS 1990 Ford Tempo...but I was glad to get it. (My friend wasn't ungrateful for her car, but still...lots of kids who receive expensive cars are.)

My car has rust, my car has some problems, my car's old, but I still love it, just because it's mine.
That's the kind of attitude people need to have.

The parents are so used to spoiling their kids by that point that the way they justify it in their mind is that it's "safer." Bullsh1t, any car is safe if you're a good driver.

the old IS300 is a POS
cant wait for the new IS though
And why exactly is it a "POS"? :roll:
I happen to like her car, and she doesn't think it was a POS either...Hell, I should be so lucky as to receive a POS like that...

there are many $30K cars out there that are better than the IS300 IMHO

I totally agree. My first car was a used '89 Ford Tempo about 10 years ago even though my parents are wealthy and I learned with that car. I was thankful to have a car though. It was a good car to learn driving with, no accidents, no tickets, although it still got dinged from usual wears.
Just got '05 G35 coupe a couple of months ago, a real car at last.

hey, i'm a rich kid with rich parents who can pay for everything . . . but if you look at my post above, i'm getting a POS 1995 Camry
my sister, who is about 6½ years older than me got a POS Volvo 740GLE (that sometimes, would not even START)
it's not just that parents have money to give their kids awesome cars, it's that :
1) they are complete pushovers
and/or
2) they have absolutely no values

That may be so (honestly, I don't research $30k cars that I have no intention of ever buying...), but just because it's not the end-all, be-all of $30k cars doesn't mean it's crap.

NICE!!!!
I like the sedan better, but both are awesome cars.
Heh, I can't wait until I get my license . . . I'd love to drive my uncle's G35 . . .

well, a year ago, my dad gave me an offer that he would buy me a $30,000 car and get himself a $50,000 car
so i researched $30K cars :
1) Lexus IS 300
2) BMW 330i
3) Infiniti G35
4) Acura TL
5) Acura TSX
of course i didn't really jump on it since i told him that i would be going to college about a year after i get my license, so a new car would be a waste . . .
i dont get my license until end of junior year of HS
Damn, I'm rich, he's rich, oh look, I'm rich, as well.
Where are all the regular families with regular non-rich parents in this thread? They seem to be lacking. Haha oh well.

My parents aren't rich. Not even close to it. My mom has never had a car and my dad drives a cheap (relatively) 1983 or so ...Mercedes? I forget, but he only paid $2500 for it
