well nothing in life is ever free free..and if it is its not as appreciated as much as if you bought it yourself...my word of advice is get a job save some money and ASK your parents if they can help your pay the rest of it or at least a portion of it and that way your wll also take care of ti more and feel proud of yourself

To be mature enough to have a car means being mature enough to go out to work and earn the money to pay for it - and the insurance/fuel/repairs etc. Anything less than that just says spoilt brat.

Show them you're responsible. Offer to do things with your little brother, help around the house, listen to your parents, and show some maturity and responsibility and get off her back about it. Just try and have a good attitude!

don't put that burden on your parent take the bus, use a bike

get a job and pay for your own.

I'm 18 and i take the bus to work and school unlike you i don't wish to bug my parents in buying something you CAN live with out. and with gas prices h**l NO!

why should your parents buy you a car?... get a job and pay for it yourself!

but to show them you are mature you need to act that way... such as

"do you want me to help you with the dishes mom?"

or... offer to make the dinner once in a while...

little things that help!

clean your room without asking dont think of it as a chore as you will have to clean up after yourself for the rest of your life anyway,do your own laundry, make your bed, hang out your washing and bring it in, cleanthe dishes, vaccum your room, help your folks cook the meals, sweep the floor if it is dirty,and help them out for the rest of your life. why is it up to them to buy you a car anyway? you can get a job and pay for your own car.take care.and dont annoy your bro as it just is silly do yourself a favour and ignore him if he is annoying you. take care and dont expect to be handed things without having to work for them.

Get a job and earn some money to pay for at least part of the car yourself. I wouldn't just "give" my kid a car either. Show them that you are at least partially up to the financial responsibility of keeping that vehicle on the road and stop being an a$$ to your little brother.

just be nice to your brother and do some household chores...i mean, a little help in the kitchen or wash your own clothes..maturity means responsibility....good luck..

When you think about it, if you save up money on your own and work hard for a year you probaly would be able to afford a car on your own.

Just think buy a used car below 2,000 dollars, sure insurance would be high and thats not even mentioning gas prices but you could still afford it...
