Just recently (Sat) I traded the blue Auto GSX for a 91 Talon TSi, He needed a car that he could drive..
I ended up meeting him at his house earlier that day so we could check out each others cars. He drove mine around a couple blocks and when he got on to a main road asked me if he could rip on it.. I said sure but if we get pulled over its his ticket. We end up getting back to his house and he said he liked it i explained what it needed and what was good and he seemed set on it. I drive his around a couple blocks and get back to his house and he said he would call me on tuesday. He calls me a couple hours later and asked me if i wanted to do it that night and said yea.
So he limped the talon over to my house where we swap wheels and the steering wheel and do the paperwork. He didnt have the title yet and i was fine with that so i typed up some bills of sale and told him that when he gets his title we will just swap.
He ends up calling me today and tells me that the tranny is shot. Wont go into any gear and doesnt know why, He said that he drove it "Normally" and only about 10 miles...
Now heres the thing, I,ve put a little over 1300 miles on that car in the 2 months i owned it and never had any tranny issues. Never slipped, Never any funny noises, shifted nice and strong!
So basically what he wants is to trade cars back and he is saying that he'll do anything. I dont need a broken car, When it left my driveway it ran and drove fine and how am i supposta believe him when i was with him and he beat on it.
Im pretty frustrated over the situation, But what would you guys do?
I have a signed bill of sale and a copy of the title when he transfered it into his name. I still have my title for the GSX and id assume he would want that even if the car is now broken.
