He was inspired by those who surprise their mothers with a car.
Then William noticed on Facebook there was a woman who was selling a 1999 Chevrolet Metro for what he considered at a cheap price.
"It was really cheap, so I asked her if I could trade it or earn it, and at first she said no and after she through about it, then she said yes," William told KOLO.

William negotiated and then surprised Krystal and at first she didn’t believe him.
But then she met the woman who was selling the car, waiting for the family outside their home.
Krystal and the woman did the paperwork, making the car, which does need a little work, Krystal's all thanks to her son, KOLO reported.
