Flip it.
If you sold a car to your next door neighbor, because he needed it for
a family member (needed it cheap) and a few days later the car was
absent from their driveway....and finding out that they sold it....for way more
money.....would you be upset? Or is it the American way? Capitalism? sort of speak.
I know it is their car now, but......come on.
I donʻt like selling this kind of stuff to people I know, I did buy a cheap truck
from a close friend of mine. I did sell it for what I paid for it, after some
mods and repairs though.

Darren....Seems like they needed a vehicle, then needed money...
Just is a life lesson, to not do that anymore...

How's this one.
One day my cousin asked my to lend him 100.00.
He offered my the title to one of his running cars.
I said yes.
So he left to get the title, but changed his mind.
He brought me a title to one of his non runners.
His thinking was that why should he put up a 3000.00 car against 100.00.
I told him I wanted the original deal, boy was HE upset.
I tooked the non runner title, but he did pay me back.
Never again.

About 16 months ago I gave my daughter and SIL my 1999 Taurus. We bought it new and it was meticulously maintained with all records to boots.
We I gave them the car, I had changed the serpentine belt, did a coolant flush and changed two hoses, mounted 4 new Yokohama tires and had performed a 4 wheel break job. I wanted them to have a nice car. Knowing that Illinios has no state inspection and legal force to ensure that cars are safe I went ahead and performed much of the work ahead of schedule.
They brought the car home on vacation six months later and it was in horrendous condition. The finish on the wheels was all eaten away from the previous winter, the car was just real shabby looking inside and out.
Six months later the torque converter failed and the car enjoyed a tranny flush every 30K. They never checked the oil, trans fluid, coolant levels or anything. The added gas and drove.
I feel taken advantage of.
