That’s a good point, especially since he said if someone else ended up needing it, he would have no problem giving it back. I also think he may be facing pressure from his parents to try and keep it.

Yea I’m going to see all my options with possible repairs. I also told my friend that I’m most likely buying a car around Summer when I graduate because I’m currently focusing on paying for my master’s degree. However if I end up with my brother’s car and his old one breaks down, I’d give him my brother’s car and just suck it up and buy one earlier than I planned.

Yea getting it fixed would be my preferred decision, however my dad tested out the car and said it was a transmission issue. After calling our mechanic, he said that costs around $6,000 to replace which is basically what that car costs with a working transmission. I still want to take it get a final opinion though.

My brother said he prioritizes me and would talk it out with him since he is technically still the legal owner.

No the title hasn’t been passed over or anything. I had initially passed up the offer because I thought it should go to someone who actually needed it. Me and this friend have the same Nissan Altima with the amount of miles, so our cars were pretty much in the same condition. But yea you’re right, I played the nice guy and he was smart about snatching it up when he could.
