car bidding help

[BahamaMama]

looking for a C*H*E*A*P car for my daughter.... she only has her permit right now, and thankfully can't get a real license for another 15 months (THANK GOD), but she just completed drivers ed., and is eligible for a school/work licence.

found this car on a local online auction site....

looking for opinions on what to make as the highest possible bid. i called to make sure it came with a title, but that is all i know about it other than what is stated in the ad.

 

[IE]

get her a job driving and a vehicle at the same time, everyone wins

LOL, IE.... do you have a picture of the short bus?? that's the one she needs

her grades aren't exactly gonna get us the stellar student discount on insurance rates

and go figure, her 'lil brother (who was much slower from the start) has received more A+'s than A's, and has never seen a B in school. Wish it was him that we could pay insurance for.

 

[IE]

kids huh.....go figure.

is this a car in need for employment or just peer pressure?

 

[BahamaMama]

it's so she has transportation to school for next year... she is gonna lose her free bus transportation since i'm working, and with bus... can't participate in extracurricular things. i have to be at work 35 miles away at 4:30 a.m., so the kids are screwed as far as getting to school goes. will help if she has her own transportation. (school licenses come with strict rules too. identifies the hours and routes for being on the road... restricts you to no passengers...etc.....) she is only 14 right now, and need to be at least 15 for most real jobs these days that would allow for a *work* permit. but once she turns 15, she will need to work at least 75 hours a week just to pay for her insurance

 

[IE]

wow, thats unreal...never heard of that up here in this other country....cannot even touch a stearing wheel until 16 here....

any car-pooling options with other kids and their families in vicinity (sp) ?

Have her wear some shorter skirts and maybe blow some kisses to the boys... she'll get a ride to school every morning. You wont have to worry about a thing Mama!
