this is interesting. but it sounds like the kid shoulda listened to what you told him when you originally sold him the car. i don't think he has a case.
Th reasoning behind this was because the guy truck driver was not able to bring his transporter or what ever u want to call it into my neighborhood and specifically over a big hill that can only support 5tons i think it wad. He walked 3 miles haha to get to my house. He should have called and I woul have driven it to him but he drove it fine without a problem. Sounded pretty nasty when he shifted. To be honest I miss that car and was my project car for almost 3 years. I sold it to buy the s2000 I have now. I think when the kid calls me back I'm going to tell him to eff off. He's been harassing me for the longest time and it's kind of annoying.

a used car is exactly that. used. no warranty, no guarantees,etc. it should be assumed as-is imo.

The kid is an asshole I work night shift and I sleep during the day. When he started to have problems I wouldn't pick up because I was sleeping and he txted me like 15 times in a 6 hour window and last one he said sorry parents are pissed lawsuit. I've been nice to the kid and waited 2 weeks until his check was able to be cashed and even ignored one of my friends from buying it. I should have sold it to him. I miss the car and in the right hands would be close to 400whp right now but I'm guessing it's around 25whp and barly moves. I've put 100s of hours into that car and ao have my friends. I'm kinda pissed he's trying to sue me after hat he gotfor so damn cheap. A damn jdm front gsr with a clean title goes for 3000 especially mine because it was an 01 with 97k on it. For 2500 more He got a turbo kit, a built motor, electornics for turbo, a sound system, and racing seats, ect for 5500. He could hav parted the swap, kit with injectors and boost controller as a full complete kit for 1200 bucks easy. The swap for 2500 and the shell for 2500 and he still makes out. Ignorant people piss me off. He thinks by putting in bigger injectors it'll automatically make more power or something? This isn't fast an the furious. I should counter sue him for the car back lol....

seoul2k,

I really hope you've taken the time to read some of these posts, particularly from wicker, k24, and saki.

1. No way in hell can they arrest and extradict you over a small claims matter. If they lawyer said that, you should report him to the state bar association.

2. The claim would have to be filed in PA in small claims court. Cost are minimal to file, but the kid would have to show up in PA for the suit.

3. Don't waste your time with getting your own attorney or even talking to the other attorney. Demand letters are only to scare you in these types of matters. The kid doesn't have the money or the wherewithal to sue you.

4. Go on about your life. You are not going to get sued. They are trying to scare you into sending this kid some money. His dad probably agreed to have his attorney send a demand letter and try to scare you, but there is not way they are going to file in small claims in PA as the law is on your side.

5. If you didn't have a bill of sale signed by both parties (I didn't see you say you had one), you had better do it in the future.

I heard once a long time ago from a lawyer in Mississippi that you can try to force a settlement legally. I'm no lawyer, but maybe what they sent you is legal though it carries no weight. Like other's said, threatening to sue you and actually sueing you are 2 very different things. I'd send him a friendly letter saying that the car was sold 'as is' in good faith and running condition was told conveyed and that the changes he made had messed up the car and end there.
