Is buying a teenager a a 30k sports car considered spoiling them?
I think so...

If they are working, take out a loan, and are making payments, I think age is not an issue at all....
Would be interested to read these studies if you have any further information, thanks.

Incidentally, not a good idea to buy your kids a new or powerful car. I assume my kids will wreck at least one car.
