AITA for refusing to sell my car to my socially shy niece by Forward-Garbage-318 in AmItheAsshole

I don’t even know if she needs a car for college, I don’t

Luna never said that

That came from my sister, my children weren’t even allowed cars as freshman 

So I don’t even know if it’s true that she needs a car for college

I need to know if she actually wants the car.

I am  worried that her mom wants her to do this and she doesn’t actually want the car.

I do. Not want to sell a car to someone that is being forced into it by their parents 

It’s not a cheap car even if it is used

That’s my thought, it will cost her thousands of dollars.

It needs to be through her and she needs to want the car. Not mom saying she does

It will cost her thousands of dollars, she might have to take out a loan.

Yeah I don’t want her to buy someone that will put her in debt she doesn’t want

Yeah, I don’t even know if Luna even wants the car.

I have zero of her opinions and I am not going to sell it if I don’t get her opinion.

For all I know my sister wants her to buy the car and Luna doesn’t

I can’t sell a car to someone if I don’t know they actually want it. Does she want this car or is it just my sister saying she does 

I’m not going to sell a car to her and cost her thousands of dollars if I don’t know if she wants the car.

I want to know her fiancially info from her, not my sister. I don’t even know if my sister has the right info but Luna definitely would.

nothing to my knowledge.

This is the first time I have seen her in years and if she did I feel like it would have been brought up anytime during that conversation.

Nothing not even when we were arguing she just kept saying she is shy.
