Gift or Grief?

Decline, and tell him just to send you the cash.... Then you would have $2500 towards your goal.

If he was a friend he would have come through a long time ago. Do you know what the gas is going to cost you on this "truck"? More than you want to pay. Get a use Subaru and move on.....

In my darker (or more realistic) moments I would agree with you that if he were a REAL friend, he'd have come through long ago. However, at this point its all ancient history.

I used to own a "Ruby Roo" and I loved it. Thing ran for 300,000 miles without any really major repairs, scooted over the iciest mountain passes with nary a slip and got great mileage. I would buy another Suburu in a heartbeat.

I guess I could send my friend a diplomatically worded e-mail and sound him out on just giving me the money. Unfortunately, if I know him (and I do), he is very fond of being da MAN and making the grand gesture. Just sending me the cash is sort of wimpy, you know?

Monster probably has the best idea, mixed message regardless. My poor little feet just couldn't reach those big ole truck pedals! Then I'd have an excuse for selling it, and I wouldn't have to worry about accidently letting drop how I drove to Santa Fe in my Suburu er Chevy truck.
