What's the best way to buy a car for my step daughter?

Putting aside the specifics of this case money, sadly, affects how people behave and as a general principle it's not a good idea to lend money to (or borrow from) family or friends.

(Apologies if this has been said before, I've not read all replies above).

Thanks for the posts, just to clarify she recently sold her car to buy a horse (!) And is therefore car less until she sells her other horse, which the person who currently loans it from her wants to do but can't until next year. The horses explain why she hasn't got any money......

What a great investment ) . The car doesn’t need fuel when it doesn’t run, a horse however….

I stopped at the bit where the OP said his stepdaughter sold her car to buy a horse.

Well if a horse is more important than your own personal mobility, then that's her hard luck!

I'll return to this thread next year when the OP tells us step daughter didn't sell the other horse, she didn't need to as step dad bought her a car
