Question about a car? VERY confused?

Question

so im taking my drivers ed class in the summer and my mom is giving me her old car and shes getting a new one... the thing is, is that i dont have a job yet and im totally confused about the whole car thing .... if she gives me her car does that mean i have to start paying for it?? how does all that work?

Answer 1

you should ask your mom, not us

Answer 2

does she still owe a finance company for it. you really need to talk to your mother about this. will she be paying insurance?

Answer 3

well you have to ask her if you are buying it from her and about insurance

Answer 4

your mom giving you a car does not automatically mean you will have to pay for it... you will need to talk to your mom about what you'll be responsible for and what she will pay for... here are some common costs associated with cars:

gas, insurance, maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations, stuff like that), and car payments (if she has a loan on the vehicle)
