Our maintenance man told us our engine was junked and would need a new engine. We therefore sold him our Toyota Camry for $500 (Blue Book prior to this incident was around $9,000) thinking it was junk. That was three weeks ago.
I "anonymously" asked the repair shop if the car was for sale (seeing that it was still on their lot). They stated it was for sale, for $7,400. They stated there was a lot of work done on the car and engine.
From what I can tell, they didn't replace the engine.
What are my legal rights here? If I can prove he didn't replace the engine and let's say he only put $1000 into the car, can I.. say... take him to small claims court? We would have been willing to pay for repairs, but he said the engine was unrepairable.
