I was trying to get rid of my mazda6 for a while so a colleague of mine offered to give me a hand. He drove it to his father's used car lot to see of he'd be interested. I was very clear that the check engine light is on and power steering pump is leaking. He liked the car and said he'd take it if I put back the stock parts.
So Sunday I took the entire day to change intake manifold , springs and some other stuff. I drive the car back home ( ile bizard to Laval) and the check engine light comes back on. The car is still running fine so I clear the code and call it a day. The next morning I bring the car to my colleague and explain to him the check engine light is on , he tells me not to worry and drives it himself to the dealer. We go in but his father's partner wasn't there to write me a cheque. I leave and tell him I'd be back later. He tries to start the car but apparently it won't hold its idle. At this point the car is still mine. HE tells me that there must not be enough gas, so I return with 5l of gas and go in sign the papers, collect my cheque and leave.
Now apparently the car won't start anymore and the bitch is going crazy calling and threatening me. I already cashed her cheque to pay off my loan and transferred the car. Now, what I don't understand is, they never test drove the car, never even asked me any questions about it. I was willing to help but once the threats started coming in I got angry.
Can they legally do anything? I didn't hide anything and he even tried to start the car before buying it and noticed the problem. I sold it for a fair price since it needed repairs. She threatened to cancel the cheque, is that even possible ?
Sorry for the long post but I've been stressing about this all day.
