I have to agree that it all depends on knowing your son and if he will respect what has been given to him. I started with borrowing my parents Mazda MPV van, then learned to drive a manual Mazda B2000, then borrowed a Pontiac Gran Prix until I had my very first car of my own, 1965 Nova SS. Mind you it was a barn find in really rough shape but my dad and I torn the car apart completely and rebuilt it. The amount I learned was priceless and I can't even think about how much money I've saved from having the mechanical knowledge to fix things on my own. My parents were plenty wealthy enough to have bought me a new car but I have to say I'm thankful they helped me a little but also made me earn it.
To the OP, hope you and your son can do some wrenching together, it's a lost skill with kids these days but one I think is extremely valuable.
