Yeah, at the end of the day, I'd rather not sour our friendship. Obviously, it's not my fault, but taking the high road always pays off long term. Relationships are worth more than a grand or two, especially in my line of work.

Yeah, the car shopping thing sucks. But more and more of these should be popping up around that $10k price. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise and you'll find a 15+ model for a good deal before long.
This was just set up perfectly, with money taken off for stuff I didn't care about (very minor body damage from hail). It had 2 extra sets of wheels and tires, sway bars, camber bolts, good alignment, new clutch, etc. And it was a good "friend price."

I'm also in favor of spending the money on a long vacation. I'm leaving to Europe for two weeks on Sunday and can't wait. haha
In the past year I've done two awesome trips:
Home, Istanbul (4 days) , Tel Aviv (5 days) , Athens (3 days), Amsterdam (for 4 hours in the city) Home

and

Home, Sydney, Melbourne (for a wedding), Hong Kong, Jakarta, Amsterdam, Paris, London, Home with about 3-4 days in each country.


I just booked Panama on a yacht for my 35th birthday I have a wedding on Poland in the summer- thinking of just spending 2-3 weeks out there ignoring work emails.
