In September of this year I sold a 1988 Chrysler New Yorker for $1100 and allowed the individual to make payments each week. The orginal price was $1400 but I told him everything that needed to be fixed (that I knew about) and that it needed an oil change and even took $300 off the price. He paid $300 down. About 2 weeks later he called and said that the car blew a seal and asked if he could postphone payment so he could get it fixed, I agreed and then about a week later he called me to tell me to come and get the car because it threw a rod and he was not going to pay for it nor the repairs on it. The big thing is that after the seal blew he continued to drive it which caused the engine to spit out the oil and lead to it throwing a rod. Recently, he called to tell me to come remove the car from his yard and that he could sue me under the lemon law. Can he sue me?

Also, can I sue him for the outstanding balance on the car or take the car back and sue him for the repairs? The bill of sale that I provided him states that he was to pay $300 down and $200 a week until the car was paid for.

He can not sue you for any type of lemon law, you didnt build the car and its year or manufacture is to far back to be covered by any lemon law coverage. You can take him to small claims court but there is no guarentee he will pay for the rest of the car. From there it would ust lead to a bunch of lawyer bills and crap we all hate. Good Luck, but DO NOT worry about him sueing you, expecially because you told him of the problems you knew of.
