my Mum has offered me her car. Its a really nice one. GREAT!
BUT----its a 2 door car. we have a 2 year old and a baby on the way. I think trying to get 2 little ones in and out of the car is going to be a struggle
The problem is she seems to want me to accept the car "as is", even before I knew it was 2 door I said "do you not want to sell it, and put the money aside until our car dies" and she said no
she is a funny woman and I have a horrible feeling the deal is "take the car, or leave it"
my feeling is that for such a generous gift I want us to be able to enjoy it, and I'd rather use our old banger than struggle with a flashy 2 door car
any advice on how to tactfully handle this?
There is some tension between us in general right now and I dont want to fall out. In parallel I cant beleive that she and my brother think its a good idea for a small family to have a 2 door car! do they think we are so poor and desperate that this is better than nothing??
