If you love your grandchild buy them a car that will withstand a hard hit.
Most kids wreck the first car.
Second tip if they are under aged, max out the liability on the car. this
will protect you when they injure a bunch of people and they won't come and
take your house.
third tip, buy a good unbrella policy, it will protect you for up to a
million in liability and only cost about $300 per year. This is in case they
wipe out a school bus.
My wife just got hit head on by a teenager, her hand is broken in 5 places
and now sports the newest metal hardware. She will be out of work for about
a year according to the doctor. The kid that hit her had $25,000 in coverage
and couldn't understand why that wasn't enough to cover it. He had "Full
Coverage" for Pete's sake.
I'll give this advice to all, max out your PIP it costs very little and buy
Uninsured and underinsured motorist on all your cars. The Uninsured and
Underinsured stacks so if you get hurt you can get the total of the coverage
on all vehicles having it. I only had it on 2 out of 3 cars. Next time I'll
have it on them all.
