Am I wrong here? Please help! (Easy 10 points)?
I have an Honda Civic that I purchased in Feb 09 brand new as my first car. I have put 15,400 miles on it so far. My mother wants to go on a trip to visit family because a relative just past away , but she doesn’t have the money to rent a car. Round-trip we would be traveling a total of 640 miles. I am sooo paranoid about putting miles on my car though since I’m the one that’s paying for it and the maintenance. Am I being unreasonable? This has caused arguments between my brothers (who live in the city she wants to go to) and I because they said I’m being selfish my not letting my mother use my car. IMO they don’t know what it’s like to own a brand new car bc they always purchase used vehicles with lots of miles already on them. What do you think? Thank you!
Note: My mother has her own car but bc of numerous trips to visit family she has put 160,000 miles on it already and it’s not in the best shape (04 Kia Optima).
The KIA ought to make It, Just have It serviced.check the oil etc.

she wants to go to a funeral using your car, because it is more reliable than hers? i can certainly appreciate your dilemma. family is important. look, this is your car, and unless others are helping you pay your monthly payment, they really don’t have a say. being a good person doesn’t mean that you need to be victimized through guilt and nagging. stay the course. its your car.

If it is your car and you are paying for it, you have the right to say where it goes and who drives it.

Well, she is your mother, so I would lend her the car. You do not need any family drama because family will always be the most important, do not jeopardize family relationship. Do not worry, one way or another, something good will come back to you.

Family should always come before possessions.

I can understand being protective of your new car… I really can. I bought my own very first brand new car a couple of years back and I absolutely hated putting miles on it.
Your question is unclear… are the both of you going? If so, why not rent a car together if you are… or pay for your mother to rent a car if you are not going and can afford the rental. It’s not that expensive… less than 100 bucks for peace of mind. Perhaps your brothers can help out. In the end, though, 640 miles isn’t going to make or break your car. At most that’s two weeks driving. Is the loss of that two weeks warranty going to harm your car?
Your mother’s car is getting miled out. I can certainly understand why she would not trust it to go that far. I would hate to see her broke down in the middle of nowhere… possibly putting herself in a position vulnerable to harm.
From my perspective, it’s a matter of priorities. Which is more important… your new car or your mother’s safety.
I’d lend my car if it were me. But it’s not.

I would say let her borrow it, but under one condition, she pays for the next maintenance on it. Like oil change, fluids replaced, tires rotated…ect If anything happens to it, like dents or big scratches, she should pay for that also.
640 miles isn’t that bad. My mum is putting two 10 hour drives to Canada’s boarder for me. That’s not even what she has already put on it for the drives she has already done. My husband, let his niece’s boyfriend drive his car for 20 mins and he got into a wreck and almost cause him to lose his car.
I completely understand that you DON’T want anything to happen to your new car. I would feel the same way. But think of the things your mum has done for you down through the times, there’s gotta be things she’s done.
I don’t know your mum, obviously. If she has a history of driving poorly, then I could see you saying no. If your brother’s are so caught up in a bunch, maybe they should drive down and pick her up or compromise and they come get her where she is and you go pick her up and bring her back, just a suggestion.
Good luck on your decision, it’s a tough one that can go either directions. Remember, it’s your car, you are paying for it, therefor it’s your final decision whether your brothers like it or not. You also sound like an adult, so you should be able to make your own decisions.

I agree with a few of these users on here -
To be honest - if it’s a family member, then I think u should lend your mum the car - I know it costs money for petrol but u don’t realise just how important family is until u lose them. You need to give your mum support - sorry, I don’t mean your not supporting her but I would let her borrow the car anyways…. It’s a one off I’m sure it won’t hurt.
If I was in your shoes I’d let my parents borrow my car (If I had one that is) if I had a similar problem. Money is important in some aspects but when it comes to family…. it really does matters. Jane | Jan 29, 2010
If she wants a new, reliable car she can get one the same way you did: save up and buy one. Don’t let her borrow your car unless she’s willing to pay you for the use of it.

I get thats its your first car and its pretty new but if a relative past away and your mom needs ur car.. whats wrong with letting her take it? its ur mom. You are thinking pretty selfishly.. kist cause its ur first car doesnt mean anything.. i let my cousin take my brand new car out of town with her for the weekend..
