<prompt> Human: Friend is looking to get a used car to be able to do more things which he could not do with his motorcycle get groceries, run errands etc. He intends to put down 2000 asking price for the car is 12,000. Were both 21, he works part time at our university, and also has 9000 he get from this Marine program he was apart of in the summer financial aid he gets. He hasnt directly asked me to help him but hes been looking for someone to help him weeks, his parents wont help him because they intend to get two new cars themselves. EDIT: Thanks everyone for the input, glad I came here before talking to my friend about it  <response>: That depends: do you want to be responsible for paying off the entire amount of the debt if he defaults?Its usually not a good idea to mix friends and money. I would not co-sign his loan.
