As the parent of a teen I have to agree with all of the posts above. If YOU cannot afford it, then be responsible and don't ask your mother to buy it. I told my son that if he wanted a car he would have to pay half. I was willing to pay the other half for 2 reasons.
1. He works hard in school and does well.
2. He will be helping the family with driving his younger brother and sister around to their activities and with general errands.
With that said, it his sole responsibility to take care of the vehicle (gas, maintenance...) Also, if he does not continue to do well in school or, does not help the family when asked, we, his parents, will exercise our 50.5% ownership in the vehicle and repossess it.
