I got the exact same thing from a friend who was down and out and needed a car. Like desperately. And they had like $3500 dollars to their name that they were going to go put as a down payment at a High Interest Skeeze lot. I said man for less than that I will sell you the Mirage, just because you are my friend and it's really nice not to have a car payment, and when I said I would take exactly what I had in it which was $2800 cash (not really true since I had serviced it and put brakes and tires on it) He WINCED like I had punched him and said 2800 FOR THAT?!?!?
Actually kind of hurt my feelings, except really more I hurt for them because they will never get out of the cycle...
And now they are over paying monthly for a Ford Fusion... LE SIGH
