Okay, here's the (long) story. I sold a car to a close family friend (I know that was a bad idea to start with :frown: ). It was my baby and he swore to take care of it. I sold it to him for $6,250 three weeks ago. This is under bluebook value. I sold it to him for so cheap because I wanted to get rid of it quick and of course I have to give a close family friend a deal (they expect that
). Car was in perfect condition inside and out. So a week ago Tuesday he calls me up all upset saying the car was stolen from his school the night before. He says he "must have lost the keys" and someone found them. So on Wednesday, the cops find the car... totally stripped. I had close to $4,000 worth of mods on it. Engine, tranny, seats, sunroof, bodykit, wheels, stereo, exhaust, header, windows, suspension, everything gone. So now he is asking about the receipts, and expecting me to hunt them down for him, so that he can make a claim to his insurance. He is already going to get more for the car than he paid me since I got less than bluebook. On top of that, with my receipts, he might be able to get $3K-$4K more. He will make out like a bandit for his irresponsibility. I feel like I should get some of that since it's my money that I spent on the car. Then again, I sold it to him as is, full well knowing how much the car was worth. See "My Rice" in my sig to see what it used to look like. It was a 1995 Integra GS-R. What should I do?
