First truck for my son

[CTYankee]

He understands he will have to work for this vehicle both academically and monetarily to keep it. Nothing is given in life for free.

We did something similar for our two sons. We got them each a new Fiesta to use for college. As long as they were in school, we made the payments. My oldest son's car was paid for by the time he graduated, so he had to get a loan and buy it from us once he started working.

My youngest dropped out of college saying it was not for him, so he had to make all the remaining payments.

Doing that ensured they'd have safe, reliable transportation while in school and gave them both a boost getting launched. The oldest has since bought a CPO CX-3 in his own name and with his own loan and the youngest is still driving his Fiesta. because his commute is less than 5 miles each way.

I understood your intentions. It's just hard to pronounce them online sometimes. Apologizing and clarifying is very respectable and rare. Kudos.

I will say I think it's much safer than the crap box Ranger (1st gen) I had to buy when I was young. Luckily it's failure multiple times led to me being "loaned" a FORD Escort ('97) and then a V6 Mustang ('99). All I had to do was pay the insurance which was like 2/3rds my income at the time lol. Popeyes Chicken and Golden Corral didn't pay a 16 year old well

(but now I bet you want some of those sweet buttery golden corral rolls!)
