Recently I had my engine rebuilt on my car and a new clutch package placed in it. I sold the car on Monday. My neighbor is a mechanic and did the job. The buyer told me that he would buy the car if he could speak with the mechanic to see exactly what the mechanic had did. I let him talk the mechanic in my presence. The buyer told me that he received the information that he was looking for and agreed to purchase the vehicle. I took the vehicle in for an oil change and told the buyer that I needed to get a tune up. The buyer stated that he and his son loved working on cars and that they would tune it up themselves. I lowered the price on the car by $100. Stupid me I thought they were very honest people so I accepted a personal check of $3900. Thank God, the check cleared the bank the next day.
Five days later I receive a voice message from the buyer stating that he took the car in for a tune up and it cost him $900. He stated that he would check on the lemon law and he was returning the car to me, plus he wants $900 for the tuneup, plus the cost of two tires that he replaced. I received another voice message and now he states that he wants $1200 for cost of repair and storage, plus the $3900, plus the cost of the tires. He also states that the clutch is going bad.
Do I owe him anything? The car is now registered in his name. He took it to MVD and had the title changed plus the plates. I feel that I do not owe him anything because I let him speak with the mechanic and the car ran fine for me. I really can't understand how the car could have so many problems. I'm telling the truth, and I really can't afford all the lawyer fees right now. Any advice would be helpful.
