My parents bought us kids our first cars, granted they were cheaper to buy 30 years ago. Up here in MI anything less than $10k is a rust bucket, or simply unsafe IMO as we do not have annual inspections for road-worthiness. Our eldest pays for her own way for insurance, gas, etc and the youngest also contributes as well. There are fairly strict guidelines for them to follow as well. She has to keep her grades up, phone goes in backseat, and has to take care of it. They're both really good kids so I'm not too concerned.
