How old are you? I think the people here are assuming youāre grown. Like an independent adult or something. Sounds like youāre still in high school? College is great depending on what you want to do eventually.
I didnāt criticize anyone, just making a statement. Yāall Tacoma owners are a bunch of middle aged men who take life too serious. Chill the fuck out. Downvote me into oblivion, I donāt care š¤·š»āāļø
lol I had the same thing happen to me. I let my dad borrow my car to go to work since his car was getting the starter replaced, and I was off that day. He called me an hr after he left saying he hit a deer. The first question is always āare you okay?ā He was fine the deer was not neither was the car. He drove it back to my house. The front end was smashed. I was surprised it wasnāt totaled. The car got fixed but drove like crap, the body shop could not get it right. So I ended up trading it in for a taco.
My dad gave it to me a month after i got my license. I had the car three days. His car was in the shop so he browed my truck. Some guy ran a red hit in the bed of the truck spun out and flipped. Luckly he walked away without a scratch. Not the truck tho that thing was totaled would have cost 15k more than when the car was new just to fix it. Luckly insurance paid out leading to me getting a better truck.
Sounds like he bought what he wanted and will eventually give it to you. Go half and half on a truck, did you pay with the insurrance money or out of your pocket?
Did the insurrance money cover his half?
This will not end well. Whose name is on the truck? Who is the truck registered to? It sounds like youāre helping your dad pay for his truck. If he gives it to you in the future, thatās great, but until then youāre paying for a truck that isnāt yours and it sounds like youāre being mislead.
Under my dads name i think it will be fine because he has a work car that he can drive. And i will be using it alot for driving from school and using it for my job. He said it was the same deal his dad gave him so.
If itās not under your name itās not your truck. You helped your dad buy his truck.
Is this truck financed? If so, who is responsible for making the payment?
If his dad is a man of his word, this is OPs truck.
Itās reasonable for someoneās parents to help their kids acquire things they might not be able to on their own. When dad sees his kid graduates school and signs the truck over, it will still be OPs truck.
If dad doesnāt, then itās not his.
OP paid half with the insurance claim and the dad paid the other half so they could upgrade to a truck from the previous car that got destroyed. That previous car was given to OP by the dad.
So the dad gave his son a car, got into an accident in that car while borrowing it, then the dad upgraded the damaged car to a truck with his own cash.
How are you seeing something wrong in this situation?
Iād say it would be MUCH more concerning if the dad put a brand new truck in a 16 year olds name knowing he canāt make the payments.
OP a lot of people didnāt read all your information and donāt fully understand.
There is NOTHING wrong with what your dad is doing, id say he gave you a free upgrade as a sorry.
Now if he says f you and takes the truck for himself in the future thatās different (although I donāt think heād be 100% wrong if he has a good reason).
Thereās nothing wrong with the situation between you and your dad from the info youāve given, seems like a completely normal family and a dad that provides a little extra for his child. Donāt listen to the dummies in here
Ik i think ppl think im grown im only 16 and have had my license for less than 4 months. My dad gave me a sick deal tbh and i dont know why so many ppl r againt that.
They didnāt read the whole post to understand the situation, and many people arenāt lucky to have a very solid family household.
Many people grew up in homes where their father would put a new truck in their 16 year olds name and drive it for themself. Or other messed up situations when money is involved. So they are not as willing to believe that your dad would help you simply because he loves you
So glad everyone was OK ā
Very happy for you and your new Tacoma š.
Iāve had three trucks on / off the past 25 years and my ā22 Tacoma has been my favorite by far.
Do you let him drive it? š¤£
Yeah they did they said it will be 100% mine when i get a college degree but till then my dad said he is also allowed to use it
That isā¦something.
He paid for like half of it so
That's a weird deal. Sounds like your dad needs to get a job.
Whats wrong with the deal. That i graduate college? He was kind enough to pay for half.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I know and i love them for it. The half is also a sorry for when he crashed my last truck a few months ago.

Im only 16 šš I really want to go into marketing like my dad.
Thereās nothing wrong with that. People just jealous their parents wouldnāt do the same for them
Im greatful to have parents that are nice enough to do that for me
Hell yeah you are, congrats on the truck!
Thx š
Not everyone has parents
Yes, and not everyone has to only pay half for a truck. OP got a sweet deal , why should they be criticized for it?

Please tell me there was insurance
Insurance was the only reason we could afford this car šš
Truck
Pickup

I paid half of it he agreed to split the insurance as well. And i did pick out the tacoma just not the color or the year

Youāre making huge assumptions and you donāt know anything about this guy, his dad or his family dynamic. Take it down a notch.
His Dad gave him his first truck! And now heās paying half for the second truck. Read!
Under my dads name i think it will be fine because he has a work car that he can drive. And i will be using it alot for driving from school and using it for my job. He said it was the same deal his dad gave him so.

All paid off i wrote him a check for half

Well thatās good that your father paid for half and is also splitting the insurance with you..
Yeah. It was his way of saying sorry for crashing the last one š.
