Am I Being Unreasonable? Original Owner Wants Car Back

i get where he is coming from but unless he comes up with the cash then sorry, he just doesn't get the car.. not sure what kind of number you threw out there but the guy cant expect to pay anything less then fair market value. whats it hurt for him to throw a number out? this is almost 2023 and prices are insane.. unless he can give you what it would cost to find something comparable then he is just out of luck. like i said, i get where he is coming from and all, and i'm sure it bums him out that he can't afford it but thats the breaks. he will just have to find a way to sane the money to buy it.
