That might work if he has the mindset that cars are just things you use for a while and throw away when you're done with them, but what if he wants to keep the car past 100K miles? I intend to drive mine until the wheels come off, then pull it into the garage and rebuild it for a second life. If it were me, that deal wouldn't be acceptable because it locks me into a plan of getting rid of the car before the end of the service life I expect to get from it.
If my plan is to get rid of it anyway, then I would want to get rid of it
now and replace it with a comparable vehicle that I could plan to keep.
