It occurs to me that I didn't post my own story on this: I lent my friend my van with the caveat that the transmission was probably on its way out (being a fine Chrysler product-plus 4th gear was starting to be iffy). With the trans working, I could have sold it for $600.
He drove it for two weeks, and bam, tranny went out. He admitted to racing a couple people (which I thought was awesome/hilarious) which probably didn't help the life of the tranny any.
Basically, it blew completely out, so I sold the van as scrap for $300. He was a good friend, it was a component that was going to fail anyways, so I didn't even think of hitting him up for the difference.
