So guys and Gals,
Just wanna vent my frustration...maybe discuss, opinions.
So Last summer i sold my vehicle, it was a 2000. Great shape, no rust, under 60 000 miles.....always took care of it never had problems. Vehicle was paid cash, passed it at 100$ at the SAAQ.
No inspection was done to truck! He checked it out himself. He's apparently a mechanic...
Guy that purchased it was from Qc city. On his way home he apparently blew the engine, note that he did more or less 200km.
So he sued me for the cost of the new motor. Roughly 8 000$. Under the claim that it was a vice cache.
Passed in court...one thing that the judge said that kinda blew my mind is that a "vice cache" does not have to be known by the seller or the buyer, but is the sellers responsibility. No proof is needed.
Fast foward to yesterday, got the court verdict. I lost....i'm baffled.
17 year old truck, i own every singly bill since 2004, my mechanic was a witness.....no bill of sale other then the procuration of the saaq that he paid it 100$.....the day of the sale i picked him up in the truck. it was working perfect....
He did have my for sale add, and his bank statement that the money was taken out of his bank account.....
anyways....discuss!
