Hi im from wisconsin and I feel as if im in a pretty bad situation, so any help would be appreciated.
I have been trying to sell one of my 300zx's but with school and everything else going on in my life I really have not had the time to put the proper effort into selling it. I have a friend/mechanic in rockford IL that has his own shop and told me he could keep the car there and sell it for me. So we made a deal in which I wanted $5,000 and he could keep anything after that.
He then made and processed a receipt which stated "Consignment to sell vehicle. Sell vehicle for 5000, anything over is profit for *shop name*"
So then I had a buyer set up which was going to pick the car up on saturday at noon. I get a call at 9:30 in the morning from my friend/mechanic telling me that he was driving the car and blew the motor (threw a rod). The buyer shows up at noon and obviously does not want the car anymore.
I have been trying to call him and contact him throught facebook but I have not gotten a response. In case things get ugly, how would I go about this if he refuses to repair the car? Can he actually blow my car up and get away with it? Thanks
