aight were trying to get my freinds dad to get him a blaster for 1700 from want ad . my freind has around 1300 so hes trying to get his dad to pay the rest and let him get the quad. what should he say or do to help convince his dad to let him get the blaster just looking for some advice.

 

He can't do anything now unless the ol man is a pushover. If the kid is worth it, have him refresh his dad's memory on his last report card. If it blows, he doesn't deserve the $500 handout. How about tell him to get a job. There is still enough summer left to earn $500.

 

Look for projects around the house that need to be done. . . clean-up, fix a fence, etc.

No guarantees but, it will be tougher for him to say no if you are looking for ways to make his life easier when he gets home from work.

 

Tell him that he will pay him when he gets a job, that he's beena good kid ( I don't really have a clue ) or just simply look for a cheaper one.

 

just tell him how reliable it is and he will never have problems with it., And he will be extra carefull.

 

Tell him to get a part-time job for the Summer....mow lawns, pick-up aluminum cans for recycling, work at a burger joint.

The bottom line is when your buddy gets older and wants something, chances are he's going to have to pay for it out of his wallet, not his mom and dad's. This is a project (taste) of the real life!

I wish I could rely on my parents to help me get the toy I'm having to earn all on my own. Not to mention help pay a mortgage, utilities, insurance and for my two kids' college.

$500 is easy to get within a 60 day period if there is no school or other bills he's responsible for. All it takes is work ethic!!!

 

He wouldnt want to lie, though.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

Show the seller cash, he just might take it for the bike.

 

I'm all with this guy....try it man, trust this guy....It works, my dad's friend bought a TB250 and TB330 for like $2,500, the orignal price on them both were around $2,300 (each), when people see cash...they get greedy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Hah, do it, I bet you $20 it will work [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

If its in there for 17, he would take 15, no doubt about it.

I dont know about less than that, though.
