Isn't that called the new "Narcissist Option", for people who love to see themselves while they are driving?
I'm curious as to what kind of camera setup this is. There's no visible outside camera, but there's a forward view and another view that makes it look like a drone is flying in front of the car.

Well I am very near my 39th birthday (for the 26th time) my wife got me birthday present. I think it's a big hint about our basement.

Wink weather also had this@imidazol97 Thanks for the weather map. Tampa will have a high in the low to mid 50s some days this week.......people down here are in panic mode!
They could have some snow in the N.W. corner of the state, for the first time in 10 years.
What happened to global warming? Oh yeh, now it is climate change!

Wind chill has proven to be a handy scare tool for the weathertainment media to alarm people.

70+ yrs old. It might be too late for them to think rationally. (speaking as an old person, myself)is the teenager a grandkid? Which would add another dynamic (or a generation!)OK, I’m confused. These people bought a new car for a teenager but never asked him if he wanted a car and the teen doesn’t want it? Yikes!
given this extra info, what do the owners drive themselves? Is that something they could sell instead, and keep the Ecosport (use the proceeds of the other sale to pay down the loan?)
If they have another car I think your advice to sell it to help pay off the EcoSport is a great idea.
It doesn’t sound like this couple thinks things out before they make decisions.

From someone in the cold North, I saw this weather map on wink weather on FB, thought our friends in lower Florida would like to see it.
Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Only 2 V8s for me:
1974 Monte Carlo- 350 SB with most every mod I could make short of a turbo or an engine swap.
1973 Bronco 302- inherited from my father; the less said about it the better.

Re: I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!
This is just my perception, but I'd think a no-miles Vega should do better than that Chevette, simply because the Vega developed the reputation it did. Even though later models were improved considerably, that reputation hangs over them all, in the minds of many. So I'd think that a pristine survivor of something with a bad reputation would have some value, for the kitsch factor, reverse-chic, or "so bad it's good" type of vibe.The Vega was hyped as a revolutionary car- the first car to take on the imports. The Chevette was eminently forgettable.
In contrast the Chevette never was truly horrible when it came to reliability/durability. It was more of one of those cars that would squeak and rattle with age, nickel and dime you, and you hated it the whole time, but it just wouldn't die. But, I think the Chevette was more of a forgettable little car for most people, and just never managed to achieve the level of infamy that the Vega did.
