Hi, I just sold my car today for $4,500, but I would like to give my mother money too because she helped me buy the car too for $4,000. We both put in $2,000, how much you think I should give her back? Plus, she said it was part of my graduation gift. Should give her the full amount she gave me or what?

Stiff her.
Giving birth to you was all the reward she deserves.

If she said it's "part of your graduation GIFT" I think she means that she doesn't expect any money back from you. that's what a gift is.
However.... I think it is only fair and courteous if you offer to give her back the $2000.00. She won't take it, but it will make you look nice.

well if you want to do it from a business perspective, Your mother helped you with 50% of the purchase price. so if you take your sale price $4500 and subtract any repair or improvements (outside of regular oil changes) , then divide the new number by 2 you will have her share of the profit.

Pretty much up to you. I'd offer her 2 grand and see where it goes from there. Why can't MY kids be like you?
