THANK YOU IA

tell him to go get a bank loan. it's not in your best interest to try to finance especially for that little to another private party. if he runs off and doesn't pay you may be ass-out, at the least it'll cost you cash to have it repo'd and try to get the title worked out.

all the people that "seem" un-shady can't be trusted here, just look at all the bad buyer complaints on here where many are because some dummy said they'd take payments on their good will.

he can get a bank loan and get a co-signer. hell i had a co-signed loan when i was 16 and by 18 was financing my own vehicles.
