For what they can get from selling the MB they should be able to purchase a fairly nice car for the teenage to drive around in.

Tell him to drive what he can afford to drive. When I was that age, I paid for 100% of my own vehicle costs - purchase price, gas, any maintenance, insurance, etc. I drove pos beaters for years, but they were MINE. I took care of them, I respected them, I didn't beat the hell out of them, etc. And eventually when I found myself in a position where I could afford something nicer/better, I appreciated it because I'd EARNED it.
