^^^ Good for you. Cars are a thing I only buy if I want to buy it. Sounds simple but don't get lost in the "friendship" angle...this is business.

If his car doesn't meet your expectations and criteria wave-off. If he quibbles, so what?

When I bought my LC from my friend almost four years ago, I knew it was in reasonable shape but I also knew there were going to be costs associated with getting it up to snuff.

We settled on a fair price and nearly four years later I think happy thoughts about Vic every time I get in th car.

Friends can negotiate.
