My parents bought me a car after college graduation and put the following conditions on it: it had to be used, have less than 30k miles, cost no more than $10k, and be bought from a private party. I got to pick the make and model, although when I said I wanted to look for a Honda Accord or a Saturn, my dad said I needed to get something more fun! I decided on a Nissan 340, and he went with me to test drive it and to negotiate the price (and pay!) Watching how he bargained down the price was a great lesson.
