Eldercare woes - selling their car

I have an excellent car to sell. Old but low mileage and nearly pristine body and interior. The stereotypical grandma car that was barely driven...
It's insane how hard it has been to get rid of this car. First, I tried CarMax because they promised to come to the house. Great! But nope! They won't come to the house after all. I would need to drive the car there 45-60 min and then find my own way home afterward. Second, I tried the car's branded dealership. Price way, way too low. Third, I tried car donation. The guy said I needed to give him a PAPER COPY of the POA. Yeah, right. He obviously has no clue what he is talking about. Fourth, I tried selling to Eastern Motors. Their website says I will get an offer if I take photos, so I take 20-30 minute to go to the car and take all the photos. But nope! Then, they say I need to "come in" to get a price. Wtf? They lied. Fifth time is a charm! Finally, I tried a different car donation place. This woman knew her stuff and the car donation will likely happen within a week. They will come to my house and can handle the POA and other paperwork. Lastly, my personality disordered sibling will likely scream at me about getting rid of the car, but I have asked many times for three years what they want to do with the car, and they refuse to answer. Since I did not hear back, we are doing it my way! |

Sure. I still could. But I did not want to spend my time that way.

| Why not just sign it over to your sibling |

Sounds like you could have done that faster than everything you did and coming on here to complain. |

Why? I would also like the car, and I would not sign it over to myself. Sibling stole some items already so they do not meed more. I come from a perfect family as you can see. Haha OP |

You sound nasty. Give the sibling the car if they need it. |

Lol. Sounds like you ended up spending an awful lot of time anyway. |

| You should have driven to carmax. I’m sure the reason they wouldn’t come to you is because of the distance but they have always given the most for our used cars. You would have just needed to get an uber home-still would have been financially worth it and it would be done all at once. |

Sorry that happened to you, OP.
My old Grandma car story is that after the adult children took the car to get it fixed up before the sale, Grandma decided she still wanted to drive it... |

Ignore this troll, OP. They're just trying to rile you up. |

| Carvana will pick the car up at your house and give you a check. |

I would gladly buy a grandma car with low mileage.
Try selling it on Marketplace, OP. It will be gone in a couple of days at most. |

They do sound nasty. Why not give it to the sibling? |
