Ok guys, I have an ethics question I need your input on......
I recently sold my comp green Eliminator. The buyer then attempted to flip the car, but barely broke even on the deal. Now that buyer contacted me and is saying that his buyer is claiming that the transmission that was sitting in the trunk is a 3-speed and not the correct 4-speed. He thinks I should refund him $500.00.
My first reaction was to laugh. However, I consider myself to be a fair person, but maybe I dont always look at things correctly. These are the factors I considered in coming to the conclusion that this guy is out of his mind:
1. This was essentially a used car transaction. In other words, "as-is"
2. I made it clear up front that the only thing I had done to the car was to remove the hood scoop and rear wing for safekeeping. My knowledge of the rest of the car was limited to a cursory walk-around.
3. The car has already changed hands again, breaking the chain of custody.
4. The car was readily available for personal inspection prior to the sale.
So with all this in mind, if it were you, what would you do?
Thanks..............
