my grandma and i both share a car so she agreed to sell it and get something better, my coworker wanted something cheap. i sold the old 1998 vw jetta for $400, that's it "as-is" and i told her every detail i could think of, with my grandma and the buyers friends standing right there. she signed an iou and i gave her the title in good faith. she quit the job and only paid $200. now she wants to return the car because its not working and she has no job. she is insisting the car's brakes are shot but they were fine when i gave the car to her...i want to go to small claims court but 1 would my grandma have to file it or me? the iou is to me but it was grandmas car.
and 2 would it be worth it? its $200 so would small claims court be more? if i win would she have to pay for the court fees? it's been a couple months now too so would that be factored in as well? please help. thank you for any advice in advance.
