Hi guys,
Not doing it yet, but plan on it in the next few years. I want to buy my dad a new car for his retirement. He has been talking about a new car into retirement so it's under warranty etc and trouble free. They aren't in the position to buy one themselves, at least not without eating into their already small pension savings, but I am in the position all because of their sacrifice, so I want to buy one.
Now, how would one go about doing it? My main concerns are:
1. Color - what is he wants a different color than what I choose?
2. Registration - would i have to register to myself first, then "sell" to him to transfer?
I obviously want it as a surprise, most likely for Christmas with the whole bow on top etc. How can I make it happen? I'm guessing it's a pain in the ass, but just wondering if there is an easier way?
I don't want a "i owe you" type of present, I want an actual car, because if it's money or anything, he won't accept it.
Not thinking anything crazy, under 30k, paid in cash, something like a Mitsubishi RVR (mostly due to warranty), Subaru Impreza, or like a Corolla or something. He currently drives a Yaris.
