VALUE.
People put value on things.
Whether or not it's "worth it" to buy a $5000 purse, a $20,000 watch, or a $5000 used-BMW, or a $100 inspection; people will buy things if they feel that it's worth it. It has NOTHING to do with what YOU think.
It may not be the wisest decision, but people make determinations everyday placing a value on what they want and need.
If your buddy was happy with his purchase, let him be.
Unfortunately, there's buyer's remorse. And you don't need to worry about that yourself. Let your buddy do all the stressing. It's a lesson that he has to learn himself.

My buddy thinks I'm ridiculous for buying $70K cars, but has no issue spending it on boats....or you spending $20K on bikes....lol.
Buy what you can afford and what makes you happy!

I would never buy a car that has been tuned in any way as this provides insight into the driving style of the previous owner(s).
Those Dinan modifications should have been a vital clue, in my opinion. This car was possibly used in racing (even the illegal kind) and was definitely abused and probably had some other tuning performed on it (that might not be mentioned in the car papers).
