Question: Do Friends Let Friends Buy "Undesirable Cars"?

Scenario at work: I work for a small firm, and pretty much all of us are gearheads. One of the guys has been talking for months about buying a '87-'89 911 but once he saw how much they sell for combined with the fact that he does not fit in one (6'4" and 350+lbs) and his wife thinks they are ugly he then started looking at anything that might be considered sporty \ classy around $10K...anyway he decides to buy a Jaguar X-Type (!!!), which has been listed on Time Magazine one of the worst 50 cars ever made.

When he made the announcement yesterday we could not believe it, he is unaware that it is basically a Ford Contour and thinks he got a storming deal (paid $9,500 for a 2003 with 45K miles) and that he got a rare opportunity to own an incredible, rare, expensive car. The way he described the car you would think it was a E-Type or XJ220.

Now that the purchase is made and money spent, would you pony up and say to someone you know "That car you just bought is a hunk of $hit..for the following reasons...." or is ignorance bliss?
