I had a 68 ford falcon the same brown color as the old paper grocery store bags. It had been hit on every side, the front and the back. It looked like one of them old grocery bags that had been wadded up and then somebody tried to flatten it out. My bro in law and his wife wanted I should sell or give it to them so they could give it to their daughter. THe niece called me privately and told me not to let them have the car. It was a real pos.

Re: "A great and wonderful grandchild who wants my wife's car but we aren't ready yet to let it go..."
Your grandson sounds like a young version of you! Congrats on having such a great kid in the family!

Because my parents had numerous children, when my niece asked if she could have graddad's car, we turned her down. Doing so would have required everyone's permission and wouldn't have been fair to the other grandchildren. We sold it to her cheap, though and split the proceeds among all of the siblings. If her mother then wanted to give her an additional discount, she was free to do so. My siblings and I were all good with that approach.

You have two daughters. If you give one grandchild a car, are you going to give the other grandchildren equally valuable gifts? Otherwise, your generosity seems like favoritism and could sow discontent among the others. If there are others, of course.
