Just a word of advice.
I just bought a 1986 Supra non turbo for $900 for my stepson and I to work on.
I talk to my insurance, because of the age of the car and non turbo. My insurance will on go up $60 per month with full coverage. Something to think about first. There are cars out there that reliable and old for your first car. When he turns 18, the insurance will be lowered then he can buy a car that he wants and pay for the insurance. Lesson to be learned. My mother got a Camaro when I was 16. I lost my driver licences twice before I was 18 because of speeding and points. In 1983 my mother's insurance was $3000 per year. She dropped me from her insurance. I had to pay $2700 per year for just liablity. Depends on the state you live in, in Florida the parents of a driver under 18 has to have insurance coverage on the child, even if the child has insurance on his own car. Wierd Florida laws. Find something that is best of two worlds. Like a 1986 Supra, nice power for a first car and manual transmission, low for insurance. |

yah the insurance laws in florida are a joke i hate them. i would buy the integra justy because its cheap to insure easy to work on and cheap to repair, the supra not so much ( i know not comparing apples to apples but thats besides the point) after a few years when insurance goes down and you know a bit more about cars and mechanics then work up to a supra

sounds like it would be time to move on up to a supra, if he still wants one and has 4k lying around
