She bought it when she's having a hard time financially due to bills and what not. I should've looked online for a car that's cheaper. Long story short, my mother put the car under my uncles name, he traded it in for a ruck at the dealership, and my mom had to keep it under her name for 6 months. Now she's free of any payments and about to get me a cheaper car(1998 corvette =]) Hope I helped. You can have someone take over the payments. Tell me how it turns out. it’s funny you posted this because my mother got put into this same situation. we bought a 2005 nissan altima for my 16th birthday last year retailing $24, 000.

True Confessions! If it makes you feel any better, think about all the Enron and WorldCom employees who had their entire life savings and pensions wrapped up in those pyramid schemes! All because they trusted Corporate Officers who were playing and dealing! Your real problem is that you are agonizing over a decision that really is about current preferences, and you haven't totally lost something of value! You will probably be able to sell it, and get what you really like. You're lucky, as any embarassement is really a figment of your own angst! It will pass with the car! Think how happy your sons are, to have a parent who would buy them a car to go joyriding in! Their friends without licenses are probably overjoyed at the opportunities to drink and drive again! We let our kids go get jobs, buy their OWN cars, just as we did, and we offered to pay the insurance. Hey, $3,000 to the insurance company for the 4 years of college? And they get all the lessons of ownership responsibility? Just think on the bright side, life is fleeting, and you made others happy! I think you have a bit too much time on your hands. Got a mate, or a pet? Wow! True Confessions!

You should go to your dealership where you bought your car and tell the business manager about your diffculties. They could always sell your unit on consignment or now of someone that would love to take over your loan. ie payments.Hope everything works out well.

I'm sure they'd rather have the more sporty 2 door anyway. Trade cars back with one of your sons. I’m sure they’d rather have the more sporty 2 door anyway.
