Would you loan him money?

I have a friend of a friend wanting me to loan him money ($200) to get something fixed on his car… I don’t really know him well enough to know if he’s reliable, he seems like an ok person, also I think it will take awile for him to pay me back (that doesn’t really matter) from what he says about his finances, he works full time, just has alot of bills to pay
and I suck at “reading” people…and I don’t want to get burned.
What would you do?
