Firstly, if you never see him again it it was worth it. Secondly, you shouldn't have left it in your name. It doesn't mean you own it - registered ownership is not legal title.

yes, have done similar. I repossessed my car. Problem solved. Funny thing was with in a week, he came up with the rest of the money and paid the car off. I probably should have kept his deposit and told him to get stuffed. I kindly gave the car back to him once he came up with the rest. Good way to learn who your real friends are eh!

If your car is worth more than your friendship, repossess it.
With Christmas coming up your chances of getting money from him are probably not going to improve.
If the mate is that irresponsible and the car is in your name, expect some speeding tickets etc. in the mail!

I have a few friends who are hopeless with money but i still like them. I never get into financial transactions with them though.

"friends" organise their finance through a bank or the likes . they do NOT rip off their mates
