I am in Atlanta Georgia. A used car dealer here advertised a 1997 Mercedes S500 for sale for $4500. I bought the car, and three weeks later received the title which stated the car is in fact an S420 Mercedes -- a model which is identical in appearance, yet worth considerably less money.
I filed a lawsuit to have the dealer take the car back and refund my money. In his reply, he states that I knew the car was an S420 before I drove it off his lot. This is a bold-face lie, and I have circumstantial evidence that I think fairly convincingly shows it is a lie.
I am posting here because I have a dilemma. There were two people witness to the transaction: a friend of the dealer, and my mother. I suppose this dealer may bring his friend to court to support his false story, and I wonder if the testimony of this witness will have greater weight than my circumstantial evidence; and if so, should my mother go to the trouble of appearing in court to rebut? My mother lives 5 hours from me and would rather not make the trip.
