Okay guys I have a question for you. Have you guys ever dealt with any bullshit like this?
Three months ago I sold my 2001 Audi S4 to a 16-year-old kid and his dad for his first car. The car had a rebuilt title but I owned the car for almost 2 years & daily drove it and was constantly being fixed at professional shops and myself. The car was inspected before I purchased it and therefore all repairs that were done seemed to be in order. Not to mention the damage was to the rear of the vehicle. Anyways I installed coil overs and all kinds of other goodies on the suspension. The car was professionally aligned twice within the time I owned it, and aligned a few weeks before the car was actually sold.
A couple nights ago I received a text message from a number I didn't recognize. The only thing the text message read was "I will see you in small claims court"
Not knowing who this person was I discreetly asked who it was. It was the guy who bought my Audi S4. He told me that he was going to sue my ass because the whole front of the car was held together with chicken wire and it was "disastrous" ! Obviously this is total bullshit, if anybody knows me I do not half ass anything on my vehicles let alone allow my wife to drive around in a vehicle of the sort. I maintained the car meticulously and had the whole front end of the vehicle part multiple times replacing intercoolers, timing belts, and other items in the suspension. The retarded part is that I included a whole folder full of receipts for all of the work that had been done including front end work and alignments done at a local shop. Luckily for me I am good friends with the owner and can get receipts printed out again proving that the vehicle was with in good working order and nothing was held in with "chicken wire".
My question to you guys is should I worry about this asshole trying to sue me for $7000 worth of suspension work that had to be done? Especially on a car that he has now owned for three months! The law in Washington state is buyer beware, as-is . The DMV website actually states that his is the buyers responsibility to Pay for the vehicle to be inspected before purchase.
The 16-year-old kid texted me before he bought it and wanted me to do a quick little inspection myself at work since I work at a dealership. So I put the car up on the lift & did a quick little inspection on our checklist sheet for him and was 100% truthful with them. I noted that it had a small oil leak, one of the CV boots was torn, the rear diff fluid needed to be flushed, and. Even included small dents that I noticed on the car. Obviously now this guy is trying to hold that inspection against me as if I am some sort of professional mechanic.. Neither did he pay for this inspection or request that I do it, but I did it on my own accord as a gesture.
What do you guys think about this? I have looked this up on Google many times and everybody who has had an issue similar to this has either not even gone to court because the judge drops it immediately, or people continue to pursue legal action.
