I'll never forget my first car. It was a 1984 malibu that I paid $20 for. The guy said it wouldn't run. I went and spent another $20 on parts got it running and drove that car for 2 years and ended up selling it for $300 lol

[@robertdiehl9003]

I remember those days when you could always buy a neighbors car for $500.00 & it would last a few years. Those days are gone sadly.

[@fasteddy917]

In full dad mode I'd go for the Prius myself with the provision that Nick gives mom and yourself a year of safe driving and he then goes into a Fox body Mustang. Not his first choice but we all remember the joy of going out and getting into "your" car any time you want and the world was laid out in front of you.

[@seanfritz1355]

We did that with our son. S10 first then he got 08 F150. And now at 21 he purchased himself a 21 Mustang GT.

[@dodgedemon840]

That white Lincoln so nice,how people don't like those is kinda unreal,enough power,alot of room,and an absolute incredible ride comfort

[@1STLAR2147]

I’m liking that TownCar the most out of all of them. I have my mothers 93 TownCar in my garage. It’s burgundy with a white coach top and white leather interior. Really pretty car! My Father bought it for her for their 40th wedding anniversary.I recently drove it to Vegas and back. Zero issues!

I think the idea of the GMC's tailgate design is if you need to transport something longer in the bed, you can have the upper portion of the tailgate open.

[@davidkane4300]

Came into the comments to say this... Haul 8ft long 2x4s, 10ft long conduit, etc. with the main tailgate up and that little section open.

The Prius is a good example of "Don't judge a book by it's cover". The Prius looks like it's been to hell but it looks like it runs super good. Might even have working hybrid battery pack.

[@paulgray2387]

Yeah Randy you’re so right about not having cars bought for us!

[@tonypersin1189]

I don’t blame you Randy with the vehicle for Nick. In SC they can get their permit at 14 1/2 years old. I bought a Passat I thought would be a good first car, but I didn’t realize how hard some stuff was to work on them like the heater and unfortunately with my health now I can’t do it myself anymore. So we decided instead of paying a lot here in SC for a beat up used older unsafe vehicle again, we bought our kid a 2015 Chevy Spark. It got good gas mileage and good ratings in accidents. They were going into junior high. Chevy had a great deal on a few of the LS models and it cost us $11,400 including tax out the door paying cash. So they used it through high school, undergrad, grad school, and they still have it while they are now working full time in NC. I recently put a third battery in it (two batteries plus original) front brakes once, tires once, and plugs once. They have 80,000 miles on it and it still runs great. Body is in great shape. I’ve run Mobile One full synthetic in it from day one. They plan to keep it till it doesn’t run anymore. They will be 25 in March.

[@robertgreenhalge1708]

Great story. When I was in high school, I actually purchased my own first car while working after school and on weekends. For me, it made more sense to get something newer, more reliable, and safer. While most kids in my school were driving 20 year old clapped out Civic's and beat up trucks, I actually had something decent. I think it really depends on the kid, though. While I was more mature, there were definitely kids that should have been driving beaters. When they crashed them after 6-12 months, at least a lot of monetary value wasn't lost.

[@rome0610]

The electric windows on the VW have a safety feature: when an obstacle (like fingers, an arm or even the head of a child) is recognized while closing the window, it automatically opens again. Just open and close the windows several times and the joints will be lubricated again and will not detect a false obstacle.

[@Lane-jq3ed]

That Lincoln would make a great first car, he could haul 5 friends! With a little love, could get another100,000 miles

[@jeremyphillips2626]

I bought my daughter an 2001 Acura TL with 200k. She's been driving since she was 16 and is now 20 it's still going strong pushing 300K ❤ The funny thing about the car was that it was condemned by the dealership I worked for but I knew it was perfectly fine.

[@soundsidetoursnc]

Get nick the VW. I got my son a jeep xj 5sp as a first car. Now he can drive anything. He’s been driving now 15 years and zero accidents or tickets. 😊

[@JohnHoganN8]

That Prius may be a great deal! A deep clean inside and a couple of inexpensive bits from eBay.

[@cdoggyish]

Seriously Randy, I've plugged it before. I bought my wife a 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid. The car is phenomenal. It averages 38-40 on the highway and 36 in the city. It's not the fastest, but man it has some great room in it. The trunk is smaller because of the battery placement right behind the rear seat, but it can fit 5 people in the car comfortably. She loves it, traded in a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid for it. She now has about 75K on it, we got it with 45K. Knock on wood, absolutely no issues with the car, just regular maintenance. I've talked to other Fusion owners, and they've had similar stories. I have a 2016 Lincoln MKZ, and it puts the MPG to shame on that. I get between 18 to 21 MPG city and 28-29 MPG highway. The only reason I keep my Lincoln is they have the best lumbar support of any car I've driven. I had back surgery in 2021, and believe me, I need good lumbar support.

[@sp7058]

That truck is really nice.... And the top part coming down is so you can put long wood with other stuff under

[@kevindoxey]

Love the "Continental Edition" Town Car! Very rare! Needs whitewall tires bad!

[@jasonfabian1563]

Hi Randy, back in the 1990's when I was 18 I bought a 1987 Mustang GT that my dad cosigned for. I can't believe I lived to tell about it. But, you could get him one with a 4-cylinder and put some rims on it so it looks cool.

[@haskellburks]

Good morning Randy. The 2009 Toyota Prius is a good looking car even though it's got hail damage and paint peel. The 2022 GMC Sierra is a good looking truck.

[@robertgreenhalge1708]

That Prius is solid and even at 20 years old (thought it was a 2004, not a 2009) it is still getting 46 miles per gallon. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it still had the original hybrid system and CVT. Even here in rust country New England, I still see this very model with 300k+ miles still being used as daily drivers. The Sierra, personally I wouldn't touch. There has to be a reason it ended up at a place like this. And that 3.0L Duramax diesel has had some serious issues with them.

[@armons.355]

I would love to see the Lincoln on the channel! 100k miles is nothing for those cars!!

[@ervisbekteshi5695]

If I had a prius, I would mount a tablet right in front of the steering wheel, where the instrument cluster would usually be, and then use that tablet for navigation ,gauges, etc. HD android tablets are not that expensive. I would also experiment on making it a petrol/lpg plug in hybrid, though that is only cause petrol is expensive in the EU

I like that Lincoln Randy, it's pretty nice. 😊

Randy found a new love in Gmc Blue pickup....

[@WalterKnox]

I suppose I am different from most people, but when I was in the market for my first car, I wanted either a Toyota Tercel, a Geo Metro, or a Volvo 240. I ended up getting the Volvo 240, which I still have. After that I got a 1999 corolla, and another 240. I still have both 240s. The two bucket list cars I have are a Yugo and an early model Ford Pinto. If I were your kid, I would have wanted that Chevy citation or some obscure car like that which you never see. I am weird though. Either way, I paid for my cars. If it were being given to me, I would take what I could get and I really wouldn't have been mad with that Prius. I think that is the last good looking generation Prius. I would much rather have the 1st generation which looks like an echo, but hey, that is still a good car. Although it does look battered, it needs a good cleaning and cheap paint.

[@462ANIMAL]

It’s funny you mentioned Chevy Citation , I still have the 14” aluminum rims from one.. I had them on my 90 Cavalier..lol

As a teenager, I absolutely love these. My dad drove one for 7 years and put 210k miles on it until the hybrid battery inevitably failed. It was very spacious, and I loved the way it looked. The hybrid battery was replaced and the car was sold, so it's probably still rolling around somewhere.

Hi Randy, great video as always. I'm older than you by about 25 yrs and I'm still can't use to these Hybrids but I have been giving them lots of thought lately, they are getting better and I'm all for saving the environment and air quality but I digress, I think a better first car for Nick would be the Avalon it's bigger and just as dependable or maybe even the Lincoln, I hear they are very dependable. Another good car for Nick is the little Pontiac Sunfire convertible, It could be a different model but is is like your Z24 but red with a white top, that would be a great first car or better yet find him a Z24 convertible, that would be cool. Good luck, you could always get him a nice foxbody with a V6 or a 4 banger. Good luck on the decision and as always I'll catch you on the next one. 😀✌❤

I have a new appreciation for the Prius after mocking it like most folks for many years. The are proving to live up to the test of time. Even here in New England, I still see daily driver models, 20 years old, 300k miles, still with original working hybrid components. It's what made me buy my Ford Fusion Hybrid. Ford purchased Toyota's hybrid system and the Fusion is equipped with the Prius system and Toyota transmission. I did test drive a Prius but the ride quality of the Fusion was worlds better.
