Welcome and congratulations. I gotta admit that the thought of a 17-year-old with a $60,000 car gives me pause, but then I'm old school/skool that way. Actually, it's a good choice. When I was 17, in the prehistoric time of 1965, I drove a 1950 Ford convertible. The car was a deathtrap. Your E350 is its polar opposite in safety. You may bend it (hope not) but your're not likely to break it, or yourself. Besides, you'll attract a better class of companionship than you would with a Corvette or a Mustang.

Ya, that would definately be a great investment, because Granite Bay about 15 miles away is and has been considered the mock Beverly Hills of CA. Also alot of people travel up this way to from the Bay Area because of Tahoe, since those hotels lay right off of Highway 50, you'd always have a steady business flow .

Talking

They helped sign for the vehicle and pay the first payment of course, not old enough to sign for vehicle.
I pay payments, and pay insurance. My car, no one elses, wouldn't have it any other way. Business is good

Side note,
Not to be rude but I hate being asked that question. I find it somewhat, degradeing.
