My parents have been planning to sell me their car (2002 Kia Rio with a 50,000 mile warranty left) this summer. The plan has been for me to take over the payments and take the car back to school with me in the fall so that I would have a car and be able to do the things I need to with it. *sighs* But my mother has a long history of forgetting that she promises me things. This all started when I told her this last fall that I was going to have to buy a car this summer in order to be prepared to move to Pittsburgh for grad school. She then got really upset and told me they couldn't afford to buy me a car. I wasn't asking her to buy me a car but that appears to be besides the point.
When my mom came to pick me up from school for Christmas she told me on the way home that they were going to sell their car to my brother. And that I needed to "get over it before we got home." Later during the trip she decides that instead she's going to try to get my brother to buy their Jeep so that they could buy a new truck. So I then suggest that I could take over the payments for the car because it would only be about $2500 which I can raise during the summer. She agrees. We get home and she talks to my dad about it and everything is still fine. My brother agrees to buy the Jeep and everything is set.
Today my mom called and suggest I should buy my cousins car instead. My cousin owns a white (I hate that color on a car...any car.) Ford Mustang. That car would be completely useless for me. I need a car with trunk space and frankly that has none. Not to mention the fact that one of the windows is busted out and it has two flat tires. She suggested I offer him $1500 for him to get it fixed and he keep the profit. (I should point out that he got that car for free...) What she missed was that he has two buyers right now who can pay him $1500 as is in the next two weeks to a month. When I point these things out to her, she suggests I go online and find a car that way. Basically, it's coming across that she doesn't want to sell me the car and doesn't want to come straight out and say it. I'm so frustrated with her.
