Those are risks I am mostly comfortable with.

When another mate was chronically ill, grieving his father and receiving chemotherapy, it was a privilege to be able to loan him a car. One that blended in, made him look like he was working, one that gave bouts of freedom from the worry of well-meaning family and friends. He did round off the corners a bit; in the grander scheme of things - so what?

Back to the matter central to this thread; I won’t assist someone in misrepresentation of an event, but if they’re a friend I will offer assistance where practicable to recover their position and safeguard. In this case, it’s probably buying the car off him, doing a cheap fix to flip and splitting any profit.
