Thanks, it's a hilarious story.
He let me borrow the car on father's day when my family was at his house celebrating and I told him about my wreck. On the drive home, I kept thinking, he should sell me this car (he had mentioned he was thinking about getting rid of it), and I thought, I'll offer him 3 grand and see if he'll take it.
Well, I asked (without mentioning money) and he said he'd think about it, then he said no, so I started looking for cars. I couldn't find crap for $3000 I've run 23 carfax reports and went to look at 3 different cars and they all had some issues that made me uncomfortable...
Yesterday, I was just about to commit on a car that I had been wrestiling with myself over, but I called my wife and said "I just don't know, I'm not sure if it's just general anxiety or what, but I have a bad feeling about this", so she suggested I sleep on it, and I drove home.
On my drive home her Dad called and told us he had a change of heart and wanted to sell us the car for $3000
It worked out perfectly.
