Default Your girl needs a car....

and you don't want her to drive you car! Would you get a Acura CL 3.0 Premium Edition with 153k miles on it. for 3500? And the guy said you can pay hime 100-150 per month if i dont wanna pay it all up front? he said he got the timing belt changed at 103k and all the other major stuff done. would you guys do it?

By girl, you mean wife or girlfriend? There's a difference!! Girlfriend? If she can't get her own cheap car in this market, I'd bail. Unless you're only looking for opinions on the car, then I'd say could you sell it in a few months for what you paid for it? If so, it's a good deal.

Or if he truely understand your situation, then he can sign over the title to you and then you can pay him monthly. This way, he knows that if you're a true friend, you'll honor your word and he does so himself.

Well beware of those cars, all of these early Hondas with V6 engines had transmission issues. I'd rather look into 2.2CL or 2.3CL, they are more reliable.

It's for her?

She can get whatever she wants!

You're paying for it?

Who's whipped?
Next she'll be buying potpourri and throw pillows at Target or Linens and Things.
Makes for a nice Saturday afternoon.

This is only the beginning.

haha who said im paying for it? i let her borrow my car to take her dad to chemo. ****, im far from whipped, im just not a **** to my girl. ill be a jerk to everyone else, but not the girl who has been there for me from day 1. the day i got locked up, the day i got out. and if she paid for my bail couple of years ago, if she wants to borrow my car, she sure can.
