Have your parents said anything about this? What is their opinion? I can definitely see how you want to kick your sister's car out since she did the exact same thing. That's the way it would work, right? Yes, I do think she is sorta being a brat about it since she had 5 years of covering her car already. The value of it is much less I'm sure. But personally, I think since you both still live under your parent's roof and have not said anything about paying rent and/or parking, THEY should have the covered spots. Regardless of what their cars look like or are valued at, they pay for the house, and their children do not. I think it's just common courtesy to let your parents have what is rightfully theirs.

i dont get it. does it hail midsize sedans in Sydney? whats wrong with not have it covered?

No, but golf ball to baseball sized lumps of ice falling out of the sky isn't good for cars. That's part of what's wrong wit not having it covered.

Parents house, parents car should go there. Otherwise, whoever pays rent for it gets it.

You are trying to save for a house and you spent $26K on a car!!! What is wrong with a $10K car and an extra $16K in the bank???? House prices are beyond ridiculous in Sydney, we contemplated moving there 10 years ago but that put us off. Average 3 brm house here is $200-$250K.

your car is 5 years newer, you should get the spot

Since you can afford such a car, I suspect you can afford a canopy. Someone else suggested it. You can easily get a "portable garage" to protect your car.

Edit: Dont fight with a woman. Its just not worth it. You will save years off your life by just taking matters into your own hands.

She how she responds to this idea!

Add up the total value of the cars

$10,000
$27,000

---

$37,000

$27,000 / $37,000 = 73% (you portion of total value)

7 days x 73% = 5 days per week you get the car port!

Not rude at all mate. I just turned 25, and am studying full time, had some money saved.

I refuse to rent (because I don't want to pay off some other pricks mortgage). So until such time as I finish my degree I will live at home. Houses are quite expensive in Sydney, you can not get an average house for under $600,000 in and around my area. So that sums up my sis too. She recently finished her degree and is starting to save for her house too.

$600K is average even after the housing bust? My advice is to look for a new area to call home!

leave sydney???? thats crazy talk .

I get on extremely well with my sister so this won't last long.

To the goose who told me to grow up.... Thank you.... Possibly one of the best pieces of advice I ever heard.

I can't remember who did the Maths, but that sounds very logical to me.

And yes, Hail damages cars... As Fishie said, ice the size of gold balls coming out of the sky fucks cars up. As evidence by the car I used to drive that was parked in the open and the dings in the bonnet.

My parents are walking the peaceful line. They think it will cause a blow up, but what I am saying to them is how is it different from 5 years ago?

Yes houses are very expensive and no I will not call a new area home. All my family is here, work, uni and friends.

I can see her side of the argument, she can't even see mine.

Am I being unreasonable?

You are not being unreasonable. I would be the same way if I were in that situation.
I assume that you already tried to reason with her?

Just get home and park in the garage first before she gets home.

Reason would be selling your 26k car, buying a 10k car, and using the difference to live on your own while you finish up school..


Unless of course, you're this guy..

Also agree. I assume the covered spots are closer to the house, and parents should get them...solves sibling fighting.

Well as stated earlier, I will buy a place when I finish my degree. And as stated earlier a below average house here costs $600,000. $16,000 is no where near enough, and I couldn't afford mortgage.

But thanks for your opinion pal.... and I just turned 25, not 45....

Thoughts_Arrive

Back to your subject, when I bought my new 30k focus 3 years ago I refused to park it on the street, my sis told me to stop being a princess and got angry about me parking it inside and in the garage.
So when she bought her new territory not long ago and she refused to park on the street.
Gee don't we just love hypocrites. :x
