Someone in our family is dying and they want to leave their car to Mr Imma.
It's a small car, don't know the exact model but it's a A- or B-segment, which is considered a regular sized car in Europe, probably extremely tiny by American standards. It's not too old but it's not brand new, it's apparantly cheap in taxes and efficient in fuel.
Mr. Imma is seriously considering accepting it, for practical and sentimental reasons.
BUT.
Neither of us have a driver's license. I'm working on getting it for work, but in all likelihood I won't get get medical clearance to drive a manual car. I won't need to own a car for work, I'm supposed to use a company vehicle when necessary. Mr. Imma has been thinking about getting his license ever since he came of age, but that's nearly 20 years ago and he hasn't wanted that license enough to get around to taking lessons. The cost of a driver's license is €2000-€2500 each, which is a lot, but we can afford it. Getting a driver's license is useful so that part is not something I object to.
But the car.... We don't need a car. We live in urban Europe, on the edge of downtown in a big city. Everyone we know lives in urban locations so we take the train to visit them. Fuel is expensive here and parking is a nightmare too. We take train holidays too, I hate car holidays. I hate sitting in a car in general, which is why I never bothered to get a license in the first place. Our jobs are within walking/cycling distance and so is the grocery store. Driving there would be less efficient because our city has lots of car-free zones. We are in our 30s and have never needed a car. The only thing we'd need a car for is to occasionally transport big things, but I don't think this car would be big enough for that. It's just big enough to transport a couple of people and maybe some groceries.
Currently we solve that issue by renting a van once a year and asking a friend of us to drive it. Friend doesn't have money, we don't have a license, so they drive, we pay, and we both do all our necessary transport in one weekend. The main thing is a yearly trip to the dump because our city doesn't offer bulk thrash pickup.
It's not my inheritance so I don't feel I have a say in this decision, and our finances are mostly separate, but I just really can't imagine what kind of use we would get out of that car. I don't think selling and keeping the money would be an option.
