Dude, you are a sucker. havent you ever heard the term "AS IS"? Its nice
that you helped the guy out but you should of been clear when you sold
the car about your role as the seller. Its pretty simple really and you
protect yourself as well as let the buyer know exactly where you stand
with the responsability of whatever might happen to the car. You done it
to yourself man. Chalk it up as life experience. (+ mechanical experience
too!)
