They don’t make cheap VW beetles any more.

More than likely a kids first car is going to be a hand-me-down.

And that’s just what I drove for 15 years or so
Though I preferred the campers. They were great on the beach, they were great in the desert, they were great in the mountains.
They sucked on the hiway LoL
They were all still running when I sold them

I passed along two older cars, both approx. ten years old at the time, to younger members of the family. In one case, the Dad of the one young man picked up the repair bill which was a thousand dollars. There was a minimal charge at AAA to change over the ownership. The quality of the vehicle was 'poor' so there was no state tax involved. The young man and his Dad brought it back to good condition, which would have been a prohibitive cost for me.
