Hi, so I’m a sixteen year old in high school (turning 17 this summer), and I have had my license for roughly a year now. I have been waiting for my parents to surprise me with some sort of car, whether that be a 500 dollar car or something spiffy, I actually don’t care, I just needed something to drive in order to get around. Well tonight I just learned that there is no car, they haven’t thought about it, and that if I want a car I have to get it all myself (even though we live in the suburbs and own various different properties). Fine, but I need your help to determine what type of car to buy. The main question here is, can I get insurance by myself if im only 16? I have a 6000 dollar budget (which is all the money i have in my bank account) but is it possible for a teenager to even acquire car insurance (obviously im currently uninsured). Also, in terms of a vehicle how many miles should it have on it? Im looking around on craigslist and this one 5000 dollar car has 69000 miles on it, for example. Is this good? Basically what should I look for in the vehicle itself, and is it possible for a teenager to acquire insurance by himself? Thank you for taking time out to read this huge question.
