In general the owner of the tree (where the trunk is) would pay for any damage caused by the tree but you made a good faith effort to ensure that he move the vehicle and warned him of the consequences. You'd be money if you had something in writing that you gave him as evidence that you told him of the notice that the tree would be cut down....If the friend is a professional at cutting down trees the guy could go after the friend since that's his job to control the damage.

You can argue that the neighbor chose to leave it in a hazardous situation OR that your removal of the tree was careless and resulted in car damage . If he pushes it your best chance might be small claims court. You had best hope the neighbor doesnt make an issue of it .

(bad joke) Write down dates and times you spoke to your neighbor about the situation. Get names of any witnesses to you speaking to him about the situation. Does you neighborhood have a homeowners association, or are you in an unrestricted neighborhood? Most HOA's have rules about storing unoperatable vehicles on the property unless it's in the garage out of sight. Be upbeat and friendly to your neighbor, but dont let him try to **** money out of you for a vehicle he apparently has no money to fix or move anyway. If he is a decent person, he will probably be OK with it since you asked for his cooperation from the beginning. This sounds like a job for Judge Alex.

You gave him ample warning. The damage, based on the total value of the vehicle, is insignificant anyway. He should be liable and have no excuse for the damage. You gave him ample warning.
