Dilemma - Car on order, but another inherited

Paxton · 11-10-2005, 02:59 PM

My Great Aunt is 90 this year, and as a result, has decided to relinquish her license. Her car is a 1999 BMW 530i, with wait for it, 9,000 Kms on it. I being the only Family member who still keeps in contact with her (my Grandmother, Father, uncle, and her other Sister all have disowned her due to an attack at Christmas in the early 90's), have inherited the car. As some of you know, I have a Mazda6 on order, and am expecting it in about a month, however the BMW is being dumped on my doorstep tomorrow morning. I am at a loss of what to do. My Aunt definitely DOES NOT need the money, and the car is too good to sell. I have a dilemma on my hands, and I have not told my Wife yet. I got the phone call this morning on my way to work.

If you were in my position, what would you do? Would you sell the car, or try and cancel the Mazda. I have always wanted a BMW, and until now, they have been out of my grasp, however tomorrow, I will have an at new, $100,000 car, which I may never be able to afford again.
