Do you think my parents are being unreasonable?

Here’s the story, I recentally got my license and now I am borrowing my dads car to get around. I’ve really wanted a car of my own so I can use it to drive to school and anywhere that I would need to go. They said they will get me a car earlier this summer… Now they turn around and say no Here’s the reasons why:

1. I don’t need it
2. I won’t be able to pay
3. Buying a used car will cause problems and will cost THEIR money and time

Although they say that’s the reasons why I shouldn’t have a car and wait I have answers to those reasons which are:

1. I have a great opportunity from a friend that can get me a job as fast as this coming Sunday(pizza hut) and the work place is 6 miles from where I live. Also when school comes around I will be needing the car to get to and from school( which is about 3-4 miles away) And I’m gonna be joining the basket ball team this year That’s 3 huge commitments which I need a piece of solid transportation to maintain and keep track of those commitments

2: I do have 2000 dollars and used cars on craigslist go for less than 1500 Insurance? I have that pending job offer for income Gas? Also I have that pending job offer… Maybe if my brother is generous he will help out with gas payments

3: buying any car would entitle you to a risk of break downs and repair, although a used car is more prone to break downs.. Still all used cars ain’t really beat up and I can find a decent and clean running car.

Do you think these are good reasons to use against my parents?

Also my parents never hear me out they never just sit down and talk it out and listen to my side and what I have to say.. They say no and that’s final and it’s very difficult to reason and deal with them. It’s just unfair. Everything they say contradicts each other Like this “you are 16 already you’re getting old” Then they say “ youre to young for car” I mean I don’t get it am I growing up or am I still that little boy?
