i think i started this topic before long long time before, but i'm lazy to dig it up.

i think for me, i would probably spend $40K max even if i am rich like bill gates. i think i'll more likely just buy a 2nd hand car for my kids. i think it's probably due to the family i'm raised in. i simply think kids need to learn how hard it is to earn money, and i think simply handing them an expensive car without them earning for it makes kids think making money is easy.

i think this way after i saw many of my friends went through the brutal recruiting process of trying to land a $75K job. after my friends went through went through several rounds of interview, almost all were rejected. so, a $75K job is obviously a top job in canada, but after deducting just income tax, you will be left with ~$56K, or just $4700 per month. that will be signficantly reduced even further if you add housing expense, food expense, etc. in. can you really afford a $50K or $60K car even with a top job?

There won't be a money limit but it has to fit my stingent requirements. As of this moment I would get my son a Lexus IS250 AWD with automatics. For daughter she would get Mini Cooper with automatics. They won't be allow to drive my cars yet until they have gone through driver training courses.

i'd not allow my kinds to drive automatic... as far as money goes it's probably gonna be around 20~30 k but they'll receive the car in a disassembled state, the moment they put it together is the moment they got to drive it.
