A responsible buyer would have had the car checked out by a qualified mechanic before the sale. Just ask me. I never do that and always end up paying for it later.

The point is NO 16 year old is a responsible buyer, most states consider a 16 year old a child. They CANNOT enter a contract, give permission to engage in sex or accept other adult responsibilities. Expecting a 16 year old to make wise decisions is naive.
Some may be capable of doing so but it does not change the fact that most don't.

say what? Most states age of consent is still 16.

The rest is correct.

But I think we are missing a point here... and that is, to me, the issues that have arisen on this car are not connected to abuse. They are connected to age and bad timing.

We haven't heard from the kid... and when I was 16, I took care of my stuff, knowing that a replacment wasn't always forthcoming. Hell, I could have saved the cash myself and I still wouldn't be allowed to use it. Trust me, I am on the other end of the spectrum to that kid with the Caddy and Denali...
