Buying cars from friends is always a bad idea, in my opinion...if something goes wrong, or later on he regrets selling, he might get pissed, or whatever.

Thats really hard to answer with out more details and pics. Unless you can afford to do both, I would focus on the 87.

If your buddies truck is in good shape and you can afford buying it then I would go that route.
