I was making minimum wage - or pretty damn close to it - the entire time that I saved up, bought and eventually paid off that car. Don't call BS on others just because you cannot believe it is possible to pay off a car by working hard and saving up.

I did the math and I still think you're full of it.
If she's making minimum wage now $7.93 for Florida (we'll round to $8.00) it would take 375 HOURS worked to save up for $3000 and that doesn't include taxes deducted.
Working 6 hours a day, and it would take her approximately 12.5 WEEKS or 2.9 months (I rounded to 3) just to save for the 3K down. (again, this doesn't include taxes deducted from her paycheck!)
Yeah, 30 hours a week plus full time class load in highschool? Right.
There is no shame in her parents buying her a car, it is their money.
