On July 7,2007 I sold a 92 Toyota Corolla for $900.00 The was in great runing conditions but the body needed some work. I told the buyer and gave the buyer receipst to all the labor and parts that was done to the car throught the 6 yrs that I owned the car. On August 2,2007 at 9:45pm the buyer calls me and tells me that the motor blu up and that he wanted $400.00 back or he will be taking me to small claims courts.

If you have a signed bill of sale stating "As-is", then he has no case. You had no prior knowledge of the vehicle and sold it without a warranty. Even without the bill-of-sale, his case won't hold up in court. Good Luck!

He is blowing smoke up your skirt. For $900 there is no way he could have expected much. Private sales are AS-IS, no warranty of ANY kind, unless it is stated in the bill of sale. If he wants to try and take you to court, let him. He can pay the court costs. Know what I think would be funny as all getout? Take the case on Judge Judy or The People's Court and let one of those women rip him a new one on national television. You don't have anything to worry about.

Let him take you to court. He bought a used car and all the problems that go with it - past present and future. As long as you didn't misrepresent the condition of the vehicle, and it doesn't sound like you did, he can't do anything to you.
The nerve of this clown! He bought a 15 year old car for $900.00. What did he expect? You are under no obligation to do anything for this person.

Common scam. Don't worry about it. If you sold the car "as-is" and you had NO KNOWLEDGE of any issues with the vehicle that would cause the engine to fail, you're in the clear. However, if you did have knowledge of some issues and didn't disclose them, and he can prove it... then you may be liable for the repair cost.

Unless you stated that you were guarantying the car it's caveat emptor , let the buyer beware. you can't know if he blew the motor by abusing the car. His tough luck

I believe when you sell a car on your own the car is considered as-is, you are not entitled to provide any warranty. Plus he owned the car for almost a month-- a judge would call him crazy for even wasting their time.

You have nothing to worry about. You will not have to give the $400.00 back and you can counter sue for the trouble.
