SpaceGhost Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 LOL My mom has had a tough couple of years. Some guy rear ended her last week and totaled her 98 Civic. So to help out I decided to buy her a used Prius. She loves it like many women do. She lives and drives to work in Westerville so she never drives on the freeway. I'm gonna pay it off in 12 months and sell it to her for a dollar. Makes me feel pretty good that I can do this for my mother. Feels pretty good to buy another person a car. Well here is a pic of a the slow beast. http://gallery.me.com/bbotte/100036/Moms%20Prius/web.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 no pics showing...and also, since shes family, you can just gift it to her instead of "selling it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 That is an amazing thing to do. I am also pretty sure you have to put some sort of value on the title when you gift a car. Not to mention the tax implications if you give a car as a gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 For the record I schooled her like 10 times about how to put the thing in neutral, and how to turn it off in an emergency. I made her do it while she was driving. Her last car was a 2 door EX coupe so the 4 Doors is a big plus for her since she like to take my daughter to places like playgrounds and parks. The Gas milage should be a little better even though her Civic wasn't thirsty. She drives so damn slow it's always on battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 No plug in. I filled it up at the gas station, 14 bucks. Has a 10 gallon tank and it only took 6 Gal. Made me sick, I spend 40+ a week. She will fill up once or twice a month with that. LOL The engine and brakes charge the battery. Pretty good car for a 59 YO Grandmother I think.
