The reason you buy a car from a private party is to get the best deal possible! 5.3k was not the best possible deal. the trade in at a dealership would have been 3.8k or less because with a car needing a timing belt is considered to be in "FAIR" condition. That being said to offer more then 4.5k is silly.
You act like a dealers trade in price is a FMV, lol.
Besides, since when did a $700 repair increase a cars worth 50% (<4.5k to 6.5k).
