How can I convince my dad to buy a car?
Well, it looks like there’s a pretty big dilemma here: there are no new cars in your country, and your dad only wants to buy a new car.Well, tell him this:You: “Hey dad, why don’t you want to buy a used car?”Dad: *Gives some reason…*You: “Well, are you aware that when we ride in public transit, we’re technically riding in a used car? Except that bus has not been used lightly; it has been used heavily for years by all sorts of people: sick people, dirty people, and homeless people.”Dad: *Will give another reason, probably high prices*You: Well, I got mugged twice in public transit. You say those cars are expensive, but what’s worth more: your money of my life?Dad: “Ok then. I’ll buy a used car.”If he’s a logical person, tell him that getting a used car is safer, cleaner, more convenient, and has more flexibility. Tell him that he has enough money.Hope this helps. Good luck getting your car :)btw, which country do you live in? Right of the bat, I can think of Cuba as the only country where only old cars are available.
How do I convince someone to not to buy a luxury car?
Convincing your near and dear about such a large purchase is always going to be double edged sword, not to mention, very difficult. If (s)he goes ahead with his/her decision, you might feel bad. On the other hand, if (s)he listens to you but is not entirely satisfied with the purchase 8 months down the road, your relationship might get scarred. I'd suggest not trying to convince anyone, unless it's your wife and she badly wants nothing but a luxury car. In fact, even in this case, I'd say, "Wife happy, life happy"! And if I failed to convince you of not convincing your 'someone', here are some pointers... hope they're helpful. A car is a depreciating asset. It's financially prudent to spend as little as possible on any depreciating asset. It usually comes down to having enough money... 1. Does he/she have sufficient funds to make the purchase? 2. Enough to pay for scheduled maintenance + repairs? Repairs because luxury cars (except Lexus, Porsche, Infiniti & Acura) are not very reliable at all. Mercedes has been improving by leaps and bounds for the last 5 years but they still have some way to go on some of their products. One may think one has enough money as soon as they have saved some and are earning well. A conservative rule of thumb is to not buy a car worth more than 1/3rd of ones annual income (at least in US, YMMY). Even better to aim for 1/4th. A different but related point is to never buy a brand new car (at least in US), always buy a used car. If they absolutely want a luxury car, they can buy for example, a used Lexus GS for the price of a new Camry. That way, you both get what you want. It will be extremely reliable, very comfortable, luxurious, technologically advanced, safe, all good qualities you look for in an economy car (except gas mileage of course). By the way, which car are we talking about not buying and which one are you thinking of convincing them to buy? Depending on my opinion about your choice of economy car, I may or may not want to help you... ;-)

How do I convince my dad to get me a car?
Are you certain that your dad can afford to get you a car? have you offered to help pay for it? Do you do chores around the house? Are your grades where they should be? Do you respect your parents? Are you a responsible young person? Do you really deserve a car of your own? If you can answer yes to all these questions, point them out to your dad. If you are that good a kid, it will be hard to turn you down. if however, you don’t contribute to the family household in any way, maybe he doesn’t think you deserve a car. Maybe the handouts are coming to an end. time to become responsible…..

I am a 17 year old who has recently obtained a paid internship, so my parents are letting me buy my first car soon. I want to buy a BMW 3 series convertible from the mid-to-late 2000's in the $6,000-8,000 range, but my dad says that they are unreliable and that I only want one for status.

I need to convince someone to sell me a car?
I know some people down the road from me have a 1968 nova ss 396, the man was selling the car 15 years ago when I was 5 and now he's not selling the car anymore. I wanted the car around that age I begged my dad, because I've been raised around classics my whole life. Point is I go to school with his son, and. I want the car still I saved up all 2500 for the car and now it's just sitting there rotting away. I want the car, for myself I want to restore it and pass it generations down. Any advise how to get this car to be sold? He keeps saying he's going to restore it.
How do you convince someone to let you drive their car?
You can't just convince someone to let them drive their high end sports car. I've only on extremely rare occasion let anyone drive my cars. I like to sort of compare it to bikes. Most people who ride motorcycles are very particular about their bike, it's a personal thing. Only ONE person has rode my Ducati besides me and he is a close friend and riding buddy who has done countless trackdays. I also know if he did wrong in crashing that he'd do right, pay for it and fix it. We also swapped bikes on a trip once, he trusts me to the same degree and that trust is rare. But if I wrecked his? I'd feel AWFUL, I know he would too! Except now you're throwing in the factor of not a motorcycle that cost several thousand... but cars that cost tens of thousands, and exotics that cost a lot more. So not only are you trusting that person to a degree of driving skill, but monetarily being able to fess up and step up if something DID happen. Let's be realistic... accidents happen. Even the most cautious person without meaning to CAN make a booboo. If he won't then there is a reason. A. Not enough experience or doesn't trust driving abilities of the said person B. May not trust someone because perhaps they can't respect the power of the car or other factors. C. Doesn't think they could make right or would make right, maybe skip out if stuff happened D. Perhaps doesn't trust the person since they may not be able to AFFORD the repairs if stuff did happen. It takes a lot of times to get all the toys you wanted. If people trust all their closest friends to just let them drive them, they won't last long. Being a close friend doesn't make you a good driver. He also may not want to put a burden on you. Let's face it, how crappy would you feel if you DID wreck one? Dent one? Scratch one? Save your pennies, buy your own. Or go do autocross, learn to drive, maybe he'll reconsider. It's the same reason a Ferrari dealer or Porsche dealer wouldn't let some random dude off the street drive a top dollar Ferrari or Porsche.
How to convince someone to sell me their car / Ford Mustang?
The car is a 2000 Mustang. V6 automatic. It has some modifications and belongs to a skater about 23 years old. The car has a stereo system in it which includes sub woofer and amp. Selling for $4000. I basically contacted the kid and the next day we met. Me and my dad went to check out the car and it was mostly in good condition. Minor things include a deteriorating paint job. A seat burn (cigarette). I didn't hassle the price because I could tell the guy knew it was a great car. The next day when I'm suppose to buy it he texts me and says he is going to have to change his mind about selling it because he has no other means of transportation. He does work. In his Craigslist add he offered to trade but I had nothing to trade so I offered money. I also mentioned I could trade a Chevy Cavalier + money, but he didn't want to. Now it's been two days since his text. And I really want that mustang. What advice can you give me so I can convince him to sell it to me. EX. Show up with money in his face? Tell him I'll give him time to find another car, then he'll sell it? Id really like to know what I can text him or tell him over the phone first because I don't know where he lives. Thank you.
How to convince my parents to let me sell my car?
For High School graduation my parents sai I could "pick" out the car I wanted. I had my choices of a Mercedes-Benz 2001-2002 C 320, 2000-2002 E55 AMG or a 2000-2002 CLK 320 or 430. They said all those were an fine choice since they have both owned nothing but Mercedes since 1980. Summer went on and on and we looked and looked and I found many cars that I loved and every car I test drove or looked at they had an excuse on why It was no good. One day I came home and there was a 2000 Mercedes C280 "Sport" edition sitting in my drive way. I HATED SURPRISES FROM DAY ONE. I looked at it knowing that it was not the car I wanted or asked for and I specificly told them "DO NOT BUY ME FIRST GENERATION C CLASS BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO SMALL AND FOR THAT PRICE I CAN BUY SOMETHING WAY BETTER, CLK OR E CLASS) There I looked at the car and I have never drove it ever. I took it out for a test drive and hated it and complained all about thinking they would get the idea but it went over their heads. Now Im stuck with a 2000 C280 with 53,000 miles. I dont like because its too small, tooo cheap on the inside, poor performance and its a pain in the *** to maintaine. My parents have owned almost every type of Mercedes.(E320,SL600,CL500,300SEL,500SEC... You name it and we have never had any I REPET ANY ISSUES with any. So far with this car I have put about $1,300 into it between repairs and a paint job because It had scratches all over it when I got it. I have been telling them to let me sell it from the day I got it but they wont let me and once again promise me to "wait untill I graduated College and they will buy any car I want" Ive herd that before. How do I convince them to let me sell it? or trade it in?
