I dunno I am kinda up in the air on this type of stuff. Half of me would refund his money (he would have to eat the towing fees to get it back to me). But then again. Things are pretty much as is. If it becomes a issue probably easier to just refund the money. I think I would do it hands down if it were some poor college kid or a immigrant worker or something just needing to get to work. But if it was a dude that had cash and wasn't hurtin...then..?

That was a really cool thing to do. Honestly, you didn't really have to do that but you stepped up and did it..... meanwhile there are people that flat out owe others and wont man up to take care of the situation. I'll deal with you any day.

how do you know he wasnt lying? just asking because there are some shady people out there.

I don't know he could b lying,but that's his carma.I don't think so though.when he came back to pick up the money he brought his mom and talked to her for a bit.yeah if this guy was shady I would have kept the money but I had a feeling
he just didn't know what he was getting into.thanks guys.

+1 = i agreed with essasin

plus = maeco did kinda lie to the kid. he said he only had it 15 days and didnt no bout the performance or whatever bout the car. so its good that he did the right thing cuz he kinda lied, but it all worked out anyway

there, i cleared it up
