I am not sure I would have taken advantage of a "buddy" either. I think I would have offererd to sell it for him on Craigslist or eBay. I do this allot for my dad who does not like computers. He is always shocked at what people will pay for stuff, most of the time sight unseen.

ok i am the one who bought this wheeler. and i aM not called taking advantage of a buddy. he called me and said get as much as you can by noon. and thats all i could get. it was his fault for being late on payments and blowing all his money and not managing it the right way. so there for if it was you i garuantee you guys would of snatched it up your self.... all i see here is a bunch of crying and jealousy. he could of refused the offer. this isn't a counciling group here i am just talking about a good deal on an atv not how to better other peoples life. its called wheel and deal always buy it if it cheap . in todays world do what you can to get ahead. he wanted me to buy it out of the blue wanted $3,500 and all i could get that day was $1,900 in my eyes i got him a roof over his head for a few more months.... and it is called get a job so you don't have to sell everything you own so cheap./

ickabob, you are right some people get themselves into these situations because they live beyond their means. And you are right everyone is looking for a great deal. I think what we are all hung up on is that you considered him a "buddy". Yes he has a roof for a couple more months, and yes he should be looking for a job, but still.. Anyone I would consider a "buddy" or "freind", I think I would have gave him what I could, took the quad to protect myself, but made it a point that he can have it back for the same price when he digs himself out. At least I would hope my freinds would do that for me.

Yeah, if you ever needed it, I'd buy your Dodge. And when you got back on your feet again, I'd sell you back my Ford.
