Input: So this happened about 8 years ago and still has ripples of tension in the family.

My great-grandmother gifted me her old car.  The car was a bit of a lemon, had several things wrong with it, but I was very appreciative.  I put several thousand dollars of repairs into that car over many years.  Eventually, it was getting to the point where I needed a new car.  I asked her if I could buy the car from her so I can use it as a trade in for a new car.  

She said sure and she was willing to sell it to me for the value of trade in and had me sign a napkin stating so.

As it turns out, the trade-in was only worth like $1000 because of the physical and mechanical damage.  I told my grandmother that I was able to trade it in for $2500 because I didn't want to hurt her feelings and I wanted to repay her kindness for letting me use the car in the first place.

Well, about $1000 into paying her off, she passes away.  About a week after the funeral, I get a notice from my Aunt who has been appointed the executor of the estate and asks what my plan is to repay the $1500.  

I tell her the full story and politely ask if the debt can be forgiven.  She gives me a very brash "NO".

When my grandmother passed she had no debts. She had about a hundred thousand in stocks and bonds that all went to my aunts on top of about $250,000 in real estate.

There was a lot of back and forth about "It's not about paying us, it's about her estate". My argument was "My debt was to her and she's gone.", and I fulfilled my obligation of paying her the trade-in value of the car.

After that, I got an email saying "You can either pay this debt or you can be out of this family."  I told her politely to pound sand.

The tension dissolved over the years but it still gets brought up in passing occasionally.

Am I the asshole in this situation?
