Hi, I live in Illinois and recently sold a vehicle online. The car had a bad engine, but the listing stated as such, and that the car hadn't run in over a year. I had someone purchase the vehicle, and he planned on putting in his own motor. On the day of pickup, the buyer inspected the car himself, and even drove the vehicle off my driveway, down the block and up onto a car dolly to tow it home. At which time buyer paid for the car, and signed the bill of sale stating that the car was in "AS-IS" condition with no warranty or return. Now, it's going on 3 weeks later, and I get text messages from him stating that the transmission doesn't shift out of 1st gear, and he is threatening me with litigation. The transmission shifted fine until the motor was installed, and now all of a sudden there are issues. I'm not sure if he did something when he swapped the engine out, but, all I know is that the transmission worked fine prior to the new engine being installed. I have the original bill of sale, which he signed, plus all my listings about the vehicle being in non-running order. Do I have anything to worry about, especially since he signed the bill of sale stating the car was AS-IS, and that he inspected it himself?
