How much was the cost of repair? If the cost of repair was not much less than $200.00 and you did not pay for the use of the vehicle or the fuel when you used it, then you should consider the amount you paid to get the vehicle fixes as "rent" for your use of it.
If the cost of repair exceeded $200.00, you have to consider what caused the problem, you or just circumstances. If the cost of repair exceeded $200.00 for the vehicle you should inquire if the friend would pay the amount above the $200.00 paid for it to be fixed.
