The guy with my Dad's Camaro

I just don't know what to do anymore. If you've read some of my previous posts, you'd know that there's this kid in my home town that owns my dad's old '79 camaro, and refuses to sell the car. To make matters worse, he's added blue neons to the underside of the car! Who does he think he is, a guy from the Fast and the Furious?! I have no money, and have already offered the kid a trade, and he turned it down, and I've run out of options. I feel that his car is in slightly better condition than mine, as mine needs to be wet sanded and buffed, the plastic panels inside just don't like to hold paint well, and mine needs a new windshield thanks to a semi kicking up a rock. What should, or can, I do now?

You're in no position to buy the car even if it were for sale!! Your Dad sold it and it belongs to someone else who has teh right to do what ever he wants with it... Your own words he doesn't want to sell!! Let him know it was your dads car and if/when he decided to sell it you want 1st shot at it and move on with life. If you bug him too much you will end turning him against you.

Money does talk so if you can get your hands on some, offer him more that the car is worth and let greed take over... Mind you he'll play off that too and you'll pay through the nose...

try selling your car first so you have the money ready when the "kid" is ready to sell.

In regards to selling my car: I can't sell it, cause it's my only mode of transportation.
In regards to how old the "kid" is, he's probably 16 or 17 at the most.
I've already talked to him numerous times about the car, and he knows that it's my dad's old car, and has said that I'd be the first one he'd sell to. He seems very nice, and seems to feel for me, but I guess he's just not in the mood to sell. If you were 16 and had a camaro, would you want to sell? I know I wouldn't.

I was 16 and had a Camaro. THERE WAS NOT A CHANCE IN HELL I WOULD HAVE SOLD IT. I don't blame him. Sorry Man.

Just go buy one better and it will be your's, not your" dad's old car."
