Have you ever noticed that when your family hears you have plans to get rid of your vehicle, they all chime in about how they would like to buy it from you because they know it has been well taken care of and they can trust that you aren’t offering a lemon? It is a bad idea to give in to any plea from kin in this situation. More often than not, after purchasing your car, the problems begin to occur. The brakes need replacing, the belts are squealing, the oil needs changing; these are little things that wouldn’t bother them if they had bought the vehicle from a dealership, but because you are family, it is somehow your responsibility to fix it for them. This complicates your relationship and adds tension to gatherings and dinners. Somehow, we convince ourselves that because we are related, we will have some amazing trouble free sale and never have to hear about it again. When we think that way we could not be more wrong.
It is enticing to give in to their offers, but even if your brother-in-law begs you to sell your vehicle to him, consider if the stress that might occur is really worth it. What if an o2 sensors goes out while he drives it home? You can be sure that your phone is going to be ringing and he is going to chew you out. Maybe your cousin is offering you more than market value and you are dreaming up all kinds of ways to use those funds, but if the check engine light comes on in the next few years, he will probably blame it on you. Out of nowhere, rumors begin about how you scammed your own flesh and blood and now you are being deemed as untrustworthy. If your secret plan is to become the black sheep of the family, offering your vehicle to them will go just fine for you. Nevertheless, there are still better ways to get that thing sold.
