I have a 2003 Cavalier as my daily driver. Bought in 2005 with 28k, today it has 237k. Fuel economy has been 30mpg and repairs have been minimal so far. Has been good cost efficient transportation for me. It's beat up and looks like crap now but it still gets me back and forth (97 miles round-trip). If I can get another 100k out of it I may only have to buy 1 more car before I retire.

TBH I wouldn't choose either.
You're just looking at a bunch of problems with both of them.

He wouldn't be able to open a line of credit at 16 I don't think. But yes, this is a Guru thread so I would rather him not take a loan on an old used car.

If I were in your area, I would be interested in this:

To be specific realistically, depending on the cars, he's going to be looking at about 23/29 for most of them, which can be huge at his age.
