Don't sell it to a relative!

A couple of years ago I wanted a new truck to replace my '93 S-10. I knew the dealer would steal it from me on a trade in so I gave it to my daughter. About 6 months later she called me and said "the transmission went out"

I said...AND? She said "What am I supposed to do now"

I told her to sell it "as is" she got $1,000 out of it.

I didn't see any of the $1,000 but it's ok because she used the money on a down payment on another vehicle.

Imagine what she would have wanted had I actually sold it to her instead of giving it to her.

Don't sell to a relative. They will expect a life time warranty whether they say it or not.

My dad had this pickup truck he really loved... got an suv when it was about 6 years old, but he was going to keep it Then he got guilted into giving it to his no-good brother. He still kinda misses that truck.
