People only get so many chances. Even family.
Read his post, he's not saying he'd disown him over this. His brother has a history of screwing him and his family over, and probably other problems he's not posted about.
Hell, I barely talk to my brother and we've never really had a falling out. We just were never that close. I go fishing with him a few times a year, see him at family functions and that's about it.
Not every family is the Walton's or Brady Bunch. Especially when one family member has been nothing but trouble and is just constantly trying to rip off and take advantage of his family.

Do you really think this is the type of guy he wants in his life? My older brother is 7 years older than me and used to beat the shit out of me and lock me out of the house naked when I was 6-10. I never talk to that prick, or really anyone on my dad's side of the family. They're all 
ing insane. Being related doesn't entitle people to shit. I've had friends I'd pick over most of my family with no second thoughts. Why do people have a sense of obligation to people that abuse them?
Anyways, OP, call it even. You're not going to get anything else out of him and frankly, you don't deserve it. You knew the kind of person your brother was and still decided to sell your car for $2000. I'd say work with him on it if he paid you the full $3600, but seeing as he shafted you on the fair value of the car and didn't even pay that much, he's up shit creek and so are you because you should have known he wouldn't have paid it whether the tranny died or not. Would you wrap your junk in bacon and then complain when the dog bites your pecker off?
[quote name='Capitalizt']Give him back $1000 and take the financial hit.. Tell him that is all you can afford. He may be an ass and a deadbeat, but $3k isn't worth losing a brother for the rest of your life. Just give him what you can afford and consider it a loss.. Don't ever "loan" to family members again. If someone in your family needs something, you never loan.. You either GIVE IT to them, or you don't. Loans to family can only end badly...cars or otherwise.[/quote]

CAGiversary!
"he is my brother and i love him but i dont believe that the tranny just failed, that car was in too good of condition and too problem free for too long."
The word "too" is the culprit. Shit can't be perfect forever. It was bound to break and this was probably it's time. I had a car that drove perfectly fine (in fact it drove great) and had zero issues except maybe a dead battery once or twice, but one day the transmission just puked on me. Came out of nowhere and hit like a ton of bricks because that car was so awesome.
Also: you need to look at it from your brother's point of view. He probably thinks youed HIM over and sold him a lemon for a hefty chunk of change. You guys better figure something out before you wind up on Judge Judy.
