Question

i know this might sound like a joke, but i might be getting a rolls royce silver shadow as my first car. is this a good firt car?

Answer 1

hard to find repair dealers that have the parts PLUS high repair shops. if you are buying it dont get it! get a Taurus or a midsize Non imported car but not cadilliac! insurance on that booger will kill u too

sry dont mean to be a downer....

Answer 2

Depends upon a few things...

Where do you live? Sunny California? It may work there. But the Midwest? It's likely to be upside down in a snow drift during the first snowfall.

Can you afford to repair it? Not only the cost of repairing it, but also consider that you may not have a Rolls repair shop in your neighborhood. If you've got a good mechanic who knows how to work on them, great. If your cousin Frankie "knows how to fix cars" this is not a good arrangement.

Can you afford to insure it? I know what minimum coverage costs for a '92 Thunderbird, and I can't imagine what'd be for the Roller. But for a kid it's not gonna be cheap.

Can you afford the fuel? This car gets about 9 MPG city and 12 highway. Ouch.

For $18k you could do a lot worse, but buy something else with about 1/2 the money and keep saving for the Rolls and buy one after you've turned 25, when the insurance will be lower -- MUCH lower. Unless, of course, you already are  25.

Whatever you do, I wish you well...

Answer 3

Umm no its a bad car....LOLLLLLLLLLLL..Just Joking......why the h**l not.. i mean  its a Rolls Royce people work a lifetime to get cars like that. if u can afford it and later the maintaince go for it. Good Luck

Answer 4

Erm.. for style and charm, yes. For tax exemption, yes. For performance, maybe. Handling, no. Comfort, yes, reliability, no, gas mileage, no.

Answer 5

Id go with a sportier car, not so luxurious, get a ferrari or lamborghini or something, rolls royce is so bulky, as a first car Id want to enjoy it, but Im sure whatever you decide will be good considering the kinda budget you have.

Answer 6

I would say the best first car would be a crappy rusty car that runs well, because chances are your gonna smash it up.

Answer 7

well lets see, if its your first car, then no, like every kid, we go do stupid stuff, and not think logically, but if ur gonna get a 100k dollar car, im sure u hav money to fix it, well i guess go for it then

Answer 8

Good for you...do u really need to ask that? Shouldn't the answer be obvious? Or is it just me? lol
