So, basically I moved out last september because my mom is an alcoholic and my dad is emotionally abusive to my family because of it. yeah i have kind of a dysfunctional family. but anyway, i love my mom to death despite what she does, and that she wont get help, but i couldnt take it anymore. i have a good job, and started working 2 jobs to pay the bills.When i moved out, my dad let me take 1 of his 5 cars, and i told him i wanted to buy it, and that id make payments on it. The problem is, the car is a piece of ****. its a 89 ford mustang convertible, and has so many problems i couldnt list them. i did get in a car accident in it, but it was minor. the headlight on the driver's side is messed up, but im going to replace it. I dont have the money to invest in something that wont last long. he wants 1200 for it, but idont want to anymore. im so confused and dont want to make hm upset, but my parents have ALOT of money, thats not the problem.. I just reallydont want him to be mad at me..

Well, as you said your father is abusive and your family is dysfunctional, so you probably can't do anything right without making him angry. If you want to continue the dysfunctional trend and simply want to avoid him being mad, buy the car and move on. If however you wish to break the trend and do what's right for you, drop it off at his house with the keys and say no thanks. You'll take some flak and he'll definitely be angry but you'll be doing the right thing which is sometimes hard.

Sorry you are having to go through this. Every family has its issues and they never seem to be easy. Maybe you could just tell your Dad you thought it over and buying the Mustang is not the best financial move for you at this time. If he pushes you on it - explain to him that a car that is 18 years old will need quite a bit of maintenance and you don't feel you will be able to keep up with it financially. Hopefully he will understand - good luck.

He will probably be disappointed any way but i would recommend u buy it u probably wont even be able to get spare parts for it. Maybe u could buy one of his other cars hopefully they r more up to date.

Don't do something you don't want to do.
