So i showed her an $800 E30 on craigslist and told her i was going to look at it and wanted to buy it to DD or part out. She said she wanted to split it with me and hold onto it as a DD/fun car, she has wanted an old BMW for a while now. (we live together, been dating for 2 years so dont give me shit for splitting a car with her)
So I bought it today for $500. I called my insurance and was quoted $125 for the first month and $88 every month for liability insurance with both of us listed as drivers. Thats really not all that bad. All the car needs is a fuel pump ($40 at from a friend) So i was very excited to have another e30 to mess around with for a total of $665 up front.
Now for rant:
Her spring break is in a couple weeks and she wants to go back home and for me to go with her. I arranged to get 4 days off work so i could go. Her mom is buying her ticket, and mine would be around $275, all of which is coming directly out of my already small bank account. I told her I dont know if i can justify that much (just airfare, no expenses) for a 4 day trip staying at her parents house (no fun). She got all pissy and now is mad at me for buying the car she wanted? WTF?!
I was super pumped to have the car, and now ive got a pissed off GF who doesnt want to pay the extra money to insure the car, so when i suggested just parting it out she got even more pissed off because she wont get to drive it. It seems like this is a huge lose, lose for me. FUCK this is frustrating.
