I hate it when people try to guilt me into crap. Years ago, I used to give in...and not get paid back every time.

Why isn't this guy asking his stand-up family for the loan? Probably because they won't loan him money anymore. So he's trading on the only thing he has (his family's reputation) to try to swindle someone else.

Why two weeks? Because he'll pick up his car in a day or two, and hope you "forget". Or he'll be somewhere else by then. Or some "emergency" comes up that means he can't repay indefinitely.

I can't see any scenario under which you actually get paid back.
