I think there is a bit of a difference between a good friend and a good customer; with the customer there is sort of an inevitable custodial element to the relationship when it comes to a car, maybe any car really. Though maybe lots of friends have this expectation too and I'm lucky.
I sold my old "normal" car, a mid 90s Infiniti G20, to one of my best friends when. A really nice replacement car fell into my lap and I couldn't pass it up. I made sure all maintenance was taken care of and went out of my way to undersell the car a bit. Friend is not a car person at all, uses a mechanic for everything, whereas I am DIY and a super car person. Friend bought car, drive it across the country to CA, drove it back across the country a couple more times, put another 80k on the car and enjoyed it a lot before getting rid of it last year or so. With a good enough relationship and clear expectations, this kind of thing is trouble free.
