Post #191,709 by Nightowl 1/26/05 1:01:40 PM Reply	Depends on the friend For example, if the friend is honest and supplies every single detail about what's been done to the car, (i.e. I have a notebook with a receipt or paper on EVERY SINGLE thing done to mine), then there's nothing wrong with buying a car from a friend. It's the ones that have no paperwork or repair history that you need to worry about. ;) Brenda "The people of the world having once been deceived, suspect deceit in truth itself." -- Hitopadesa 600?-1100?

One was his (it was given to him), one was one he worked on (a customer's car). The car that was his was great. $75 for a 1966 Olds F-85 330 CID V8 (2 barrel, single exhaust, no A/C), 2 speed automatic. Wonderful car. It needed a battery. The cutomer car (1986 Olds 98, 3.8 liter, FWD) was OK but became a money pit (mainly because it was driven a lot). It finally died at about 350,000 miles. So it wasn't too bad either really. It's caveat emptor when buying cars, even when buying them from a friend. But it doesn't have to cause problems if the buyer knows what he's getting. Cheers, Scott.

It's still pretty low miles for the age, and we want to get enough to step up to the next larger model without picking up a monthly payment. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
