Default What should I do?

So my gf's mom wants to buy my tC from me to give it to her youngest daughter for her 16th Birthday. I'm not sure if i should sell her my car or not. I LOVE my tC. She's my baby! But I've been looking at the new xB's. So should I sell my car ? and what should I sell it for? She's an 06 Flint Mica with 28k miles, 18" premium wheels, new tires and the TYC light.

I would not recommend selling it unless if you have decided to get a different car. If you sell and buy a different car, you're just gonna end up paying more money because of the taxes and registration.
But if you do decide to sell it, the market value for your car is around 14-15k

My first car was the tC and I didn't mess it up to bad lol, just curbed the hell out of the stock wheels, may have came close to a 360 degree curb. Oh well just stocks...

Anyway, think about it hard, and if you really do want to sell it then do it while the opportunity is here for a private sell.

Lmao, dude, a 16 year old girl. Lyke omg talkin' on mah cell! Totally!

Your tC will get ____ed up. Whether or not that matters to you once it's out of your posession is up to you.


P.S. I'm the biggest ____ing hipocrite in the world.

It's your car bro, if you want to sell it then sell it, but don't feel pressured to sell it because it is your GF's mom, that's just dumb.

You said yourself you LOVE your tC, just don't make any rushed decisions.

Plus I have never liked doing business with close friends/family, especially when it comes to cars, because if the car breaks down or something goes wrong they are going to blame you because it used to be yours and they might make you pay for the repair or guilt trip you.

Hahaha, if you really love your tC you won't. Ask her if she knows what oil and coolant are first.

But if you are getting a good deal or better, it'd be hard. It's totally up to you, but if it were me, I'd take the deal if it was definately in my favor.

I agree. I've had bad experience selling a car to a close friend. I've never sold anything to a family member or close friends after that incident. Its just not worth it.
