How to Get Parents to Buy You a Corvette

Buying a Corvette is the dream of many young people. The greatest obstacle to fulfilling the dream is the lack of funds; this is where your parents come into the picture. It will take some research and a well-planned presentation to convince your parents to buy a Corvette.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Determine if there is room in your parent's finances for the expense of a Corvette. Accomplish this by having a general yet creative talk about finances; let them know you are interested in having a car and listen to their response.

2. Find a part-time job to help with payments if your parents can only afford part of a payment. Often parents will consent to an automobile when you act responsibly.

3. Establish a practical price range, and decide whether you will look for a new or used vehicle before asking your parents to buy a Corvette. Look in car dealerships, on the Internet and read the classified car section of your local newspaper.

4. Investigate the price of insurance and a warranty when you plan to ask your parents to buy a Corvette. Determine where you will the park the vehicle so it is safe.

5. Consider how you will finance repairs if your used vehicle breaks down. Talk to a mechanic about common repairs and maintenance, and make a financial plan to cover the cost.

6. Demonstrate to your parents that you are a responsible driver by practicing safe driving habits. Keep the family car clean, fill the gas tank and pay for the gas when they allow you to drive.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't argue or discuss the purchase in depth if your parents respond negatively upon your first discussion about personal finances. Wait until you have a chance to research and develop a plan of action, and then approach them again with all of your data.
