An opportunity came up over Christmas for an affordable vehicle. The owner is a relative and they are willing to have it checked over by a mechanic. They recently got a better offer from a co-worker, but wanted to give me a first offer at the higher price in as is condition. I had to tell them if they got a better offer as is, they should definitely take it. However, this now leaves me in the same spot before I knew about it. I am still in need of a vehicle that I can afford. They were asking much more than I could take a chance on. What if it needs a new transmission. Then I'm out more money than I can afford and I will be left with resentment. Please pray that a better offer and a more affordable option becomes available soon.
