Convince My Parents To Let Me Buy A Car . Rather Long Post.

How can I convince my parents to let me buy a fursuit online?

There is no such thing as a $60 fursuit. Such a thing would be a hideous abomination made with cheap child labor and would probably look like tumorous carpets sewn together.

As a fifteen year old you're still growing, and a decent full fursuit is a large monetary investment ($900-$1,500). Wait till you stop growing and then get one, otherwise you'll just be outgrowing your custom piece of wearable artwork.

If money is the problem why not try making your own fursuit? Many parents would be more supportive if you approached this as an art or sculptural project rather than some weird animal costume.
For more information I've written this post on the FA forums:

How do I convince my parents to let me buy my own first car? I have the money, but they keep saying no and won’t give me a reason.

That’s a shame. If your parents won’t even discuss it with you, then you will have to wait until you turn 18 (or 21?) in order to buy a car on your own without the need for them to co-sign the loan.Getting a car loan on your own really establishes your credit and sort of launches you into the adult world of responsible bill-paying.Don’t forget that you will also need car/driver insurance, and when you are a teen it’s going to be a lot higher. You have to factor that cost in as well.I hope it works out for you.

How do I convince my parents to buy me a vehicle?

I think this is a bit overused advice but here it goes.I’m assuming you’re in your 20s-30s. If you’re currently unemployed, tell them you need the vehicle for work and once you start making a decent salary you will pay them back. If you do have some money (that are leftover from student loans), tell them you can pay for some of the vehicle and will pay the rest of it back.Show them you are successful and responsible. Get a high credit score, get a good job, have your life together basically. It’ll show your parents you actually deserve a vehicle.If none of that works or if you don’t want to any of that, you’ll have to make do with public transportation or any other means of how you’re traveling. I hope your need isn’t really a want. In the case that you really need a car (like a car goes before your need to eat and pay rent), tell them so. Perhaps they’ll understand.If you just really WANT a free car, then I’m sorry. Unless your parents are really rich or they really spoil you, you won’t get it. But if this is truly a necessity, then I hope they will understand.Good luck.(I’m a 15 year old girl, I really don’t know much but this is still good advice to take in mind)

Parents won't let me buy a car?

I understand college is important, but I also understand that getting to work is important. I have good grades, a clean driving record, and enough cash ($3000). I am a junior in high school this year and understand that college is around the bend. Yet, I have planned out paying for a car and going to college my first year payed for (community college). We are middle class but they stress a lot, so I have to pay for college myself.

I have a full time job in the summer and on weekends and its a pain to haggle over the car all the time. My activities and volunteering dictate that I always need to beg for rides from friends or my parents, or beg for the car. They always get angry when I try to drive, and they have to drive my two little sisters around, so there is not much opportunity.

They said maybe in a few months I can get a car (they pay for it), only to share it with my little sister when she gets her license next year. She will dominate it. Summer is around the corner and I want to do this for myself, I don't want them to feel obligated... Something about trying to independent I suppose.

How can I convince them that this is something that is important to me? Or do I just sound like a whiny teenager? Is their point better than mine?

This was long but thank you for your time.

How can i get my parents to let me lower my car? POST #2?

Why wont they let you lower it?

If they don't even drive it, just do it and they probably wont even notice.

How can I convince my parents that getting a used car is practical?

Here's my story on that. When I was 16 in 1963, I too was faced with this. I asked my parents if I could buy a car. My father at first said no! emphatically. My mother asked him to think about it. Later he said, you can buy a car if you can find the money to pay for it. He of course was convinced I could not make that happen so he could look good and still get his way. I however was very resourceful. Without his knowledge I considered all my options, none of which would get me a car in the next few years let alone now. So I went to my grandmother who had a soft spot for me. I asked her for a loan of $300 to buy a now used 1963 Opel. Where could one ever find a car that new for that price? My brother was a car salesman and they just took it in on trade. It was like brand new. But if I could get the money, it was mine. Grandma, without hesitation, wrote me a check for $300.00. I promised faithfully to pay her back each week when I got paid from my job at the grocery store. So, without my dads help, I bought the car and Mom signed the legal paperwork so I could buy it as a minor.My dad came home from work and saw this very new car in the driveway and asked who's car that was. After all he had never owned a car that new in his life. I said proudly, “mine”. He looked surprised, and grandma was there for dinner that night. She just sat there quietly. My dad said “where'd you get the money?” Sternly and disapprovingly. Grandma just sat there quietly, I said “grandma loaned it to me”. He looked over at her and she just smiled slightly. Then he walked away saying nothing more. I kept my word and paid her every week up until it was paid off. She told me later how impressed she was at my taking this so seriously and if I ever needed anything she would gladly help again. I never got anything I wanted without paying for it myself.So be resourceful, figure out how to pay for it yourself and maybe someone like my grandma will help you with it. But be serious and faithful about repaying it. You will carry that with you for the rest of your life as one of those life lessons. What I ended up getting was not nearly as important as how I got it and what I did about it. I never borrowed a dime ever without paying it back.

How do I convince my parents to let me buy a motorcycle?

You know your parents best, so I’m not going to answer your question.But I have a personal story that may interest you.About 12 years ago, my son, then newly-turned-18, asked for a motorcycle. My heart sank. In c 1988 I’d published a paper about two-wheeler accidents in India. My results showed conclusively that motorcycles are very, very dangerous machines.Yet, I remembered that in my own youth I had had a motorcycle. It was fun to ride. It improved my young life’s quality no end. I decided that my son should be allowed the joys of youth. So I made my son promise that he wouldn’t go within smelling distance of his motorcycle without a helmet, AND that he would drive slowly, and bought him one.Imagine my horror when within a week of his acquiring a motorcycle he informed me that one of his friends had died in a motorcycle accident! All I could do was to keep insisting that he should be careful. And take anti-anxiety pills.Two years later I bought him a car. I said that I’d experienced enough stress for a lifetime. He had enjoyed his motorcycle enough, and it was time for both of us to settle down.The motorcycle is an instrument of death. Only a surgeon can have any idea of how bad it is. I can totally understand your wanting one. You should totally understand your parents’ reluctance to hand you one. Somebody once said that being a mother means always having your heart live outside your body. Well, being a father is almost as bad. By placing your butt on a motorcycle your parents are risking something more precious to them than the entire cosmos.Understand.

How to convince my parents to buy a used luxury car?

I really want a used car but, my parents say, used cars break down easily. I'd rather have the car I want and pay the repairs than end up with a boring nissan :/ They got my brother a nissan, freshmen year college. I don't want a dam nissan
