Here's how I see it -

There was nothing 'wrong' with the transmission when you sold it to him, it was working 100% when you did the clutch change. Now, it depends on what the reason was that you changed the clutch out. Also, what did these shops say was wrong? They always try to screw people out of money, and unless it's grinding gears or something major, it's definately not worth 700 bucks.

wtf Frank, why don't you PROVE that it works, bleed the clutch and shut him up.

But if the tranny is toasted you said that "you knew" it was fine then prove it to him, fix the rest and be done with it

Tell him to take a long walk off a short pier. He bought the car as is. No warranty.tell him Better luck next time holmes and walk away or hang up!

A used car is exactly that... used. You never gave him a waruntee.

---- him dude, you didnt do anything wrong. That guy is a little bitch. I dont think hell take any legal action against you, i dont even think he can, but hopefully we wont see you on Judge Judy :P

I totally agree, and the fact that "his mechanic said..."... if he has to rely on a mechanic to fix every little thing he shouldnt be buying anything but a new car, and certainly not a car that doesnt run, he seems like a ******

Hes the one that wanted it right away correct? If so, thats the price he pays for being impatient

I don't know the laws in japan, or if it's us-base laws that apply here, but the fact that he bought it not running, even if you tell him is just a plug wire, it wasn't running, he should have checked the car before or called in a mechanic to check it out.

The most I would do is either try to help him fix what you thought it was, if not maybe give him a couple of hundred to help with the costs, but that's just if I feel good that day and if the guy is not being an ------- about it.

If he is and from the get go started threatening and ----, I wouldn't give him ----.....He'll spend more in court than just fixing the car. I think he's just trying to scare you.

Im not to worried about it. We will see what happens today.

i still think you couldent get the clutch in and working so you gave up on the car and bought a civic :P

gon3r

sounds like he is just trying to hose you out of some cash. if he has no paperwork stating the condition of the car he is ---- out of luck i say. he knew the conditions of the car, his problem now, not yours.
