Replies sakurag Posted at 8:32 am on July 24, 2008 It's fair.  They are getting the short end of the stick here.  You gotta wonder why they'd agree to something like that. Would you?  I mean, why would you pay $100's a month for something just so someone else gets to use it.  I wouldn't.. that's just a bad investment, don't you think? If I were you, I'd talk some sense into your parents and tell them to get rid of the money drain.  Tell them to use that money to have a nice dinner out once a month or so.  Now THAT would be fair. okumsup Posted at 8:57 pm on July 23, 2008 that's fair.. thats more than fair, it's their car, they probably pay gas, they pay their own insurance, and your probably paying insurance as a 'temp driver' or what not..

True. It is fair though if you are under 18. Regardless of who pays for insurance, they still have financial liability.   Now, if it was your car, and you payed for everything, it would be a little out of place for them to restrict you on it. What if you're over 18? RockerTori106 Posted at 6:26 pm on July 23, 2008 It's fair. They bought it and it's in their name. Driving your parents' car is a privilege not a right. It's theirs to offer. brook Posted at 6:24 pm on July 23, 2008 not fair drifting Posted at 6:23 pm on July 23, 2008 Quote: from Majo at 9:16 pm on July 23, 2008 Quote: from drifting at 9:14 pm on July 23, 2008 Its not your car.    You are still going to need insurance.    Get your own car, pay for your own insurance, then its all your decision.

Nope, just their name. Majo Posted at 6:18 pm on July 23, 2008 Quote: from okumsup at 9:15 pm on July 23, 2008 wait did they BUY the car, or did you buy it? They bought it, that's why it's in their name.

Majo Posted at 6:14 pm on July 23, 2008 Quote: from IndecisiveBitch at 9:14 pm on July 23, 2008 Unfortunately, parents don't always have to do what's "fair." I know but the question is whether it's fair or not. redhotchilis64 Posted at 6:14 pm on July 23, 2008 Title transfer. If your parents are logical or fair-minded at all, they won't mind doing it. rawr41507 Posted at 6:14 pm on July 23, 2008 noopppeeeeeee Most recent 15 of 21 previous replies displayed.
