<prompt> Human: Will creditors allow me to get a car loan for my son that is under 18? Or would I be better off telling them that the car is mine? I dont want them to think that Im doing a straw purchase. I just want to buy my son a car and finance it. Hes 16 so obviously he cant sign to a binding contract yet. I just want to make sure what I should tell them so everything can go as smooth as possible.  <response>: Disclaimer: Im also one of the people who thinks a 16 year old shouldnt have a financed car. Pay cash for teenager cars.To answer your question, after reading some of your responses... Go find your own financing and shop at a different dealership. Check with whoever you bank with to get the loan, then go buy a car. The only people who should be concerned with the primary driver are you and your insurance company.Along with your complaint to the finance agents managers, Id go ahead and send a picture of you, your son, and the new car you bought somewhere else. Maybe not really, thats just petty.
