My sister is such a great encouragement to my life and family and we are really close. She's kinda poor, but she does okay for herself and kids, and her car has been breaking down a lot. The thing is, I want to surprise her and buy her a good car (espcially since winter is comming) Do you think I should buy her used or new? New cars are really not that expensive, especially if you don't get ALL the options. Do you think she'll accept the gift of a car or is that too much?
I've never bought anyone in my family a car before, but no one has ever needed it as bad as she does.

Money is nothing without my family. One day, I wish we can all stop thinking about money (kinda like Star Trek) and think about what's important...love.

That is a very generous thought you have. The real question is, if you buy your sister a car (new or used), how will she react. Will she be hurt and insulted because she can't afford a better car, or will she accept the gift graciously and be happy about a newer car. I know that you are concerned and mean well, but do think this over very carefully. OK? Could you possibly buy yourself a new car and give your old car to your sister.... Look at other ways to accomplish this without insulting or belittling her.

If you can afford it than do it, I think your doing the right thing to make her happy. Shows a lot of love. Don't let anyone stop you. Good Luck. Car Advice make sure you get a car with a good warranty and good dependability, so American cars are out of the question.....GOOD LUCK

Get her a new car. Used cars are an iffy situation. Jusy because it looks good, doesn't means it will not be a lemon in a short time.
