How much would car #1 be worth if you still had it??

Tell your dad he can either buy the car off you if he still wants it, or you will he selling it to buy a car you want.

Make sure you do not end up out of pocket. You are an adult, and not his mother either!!

I don't think this is a good idea - it gives Dad leverage and if he does offer OP a sum to buy the car from her, he'll constantly be at her when the car needs bits replacing etc.

OP its your car, you don't need such a big car, sell it, give your Dad whatever you think is fair from the proceeds, and buy something which suits you. What your Dad would prefer should not even come into this equation, not even remotely.

Don't fill the tank with £60 fuel in the next six weeks - keep it sitting at a quarter of a tank, topping up with £10 as necessary for your own journeys. If your Dad wants to do a long drive, he'll have to fill it.

In my day-to-day life, I use the car a mere 7.5 - 8 miles per week. However in the 5 months my parents have been home, they have used the car an extortionate amount. I'm talking over 1,000 miles a week.

So why would you put £60 fuel in a car when you only do 8 miles a week?

Please stand up to him, and don't let his current 'reasonableness' just be a fob off until he can manipulate him yourself.

My dad was very similar and I've made many serious mistakes over the last couple of years letting him get away with stuff I really shouldn't have. Now I have nothing to do with him and things are so much better.

Don't let things get as bad as I did.

Four and a half months to import a car? :eek:

Very hard to believe. It's either been modified so far off manufacturer's spec that it's unrecognisable, a complete wreck, or someone is taking the proverbial.

Longest it's ever taken me to re-register a foreign vehicle was six weeks, and that was for a strange library-van type thing which the DVLC had to research in country of origin because they'd never had to process a similar one before.

Funny isn't it that it's taken so long. Especially when it's avoiding the wear and tear of 1000 miles a week. And possibly isn't being taxed or insured.
