I put my pickup truck for sale on craigslist and had it for sale for $8500. I guy inquired about it and made me an offer of $7500 which I accepted. I met him and he test drove the truck. I gave him all the information I had on it. He picked it up last Tuesday and drove it 2 hours home. He calls me this morning, 6 days later, and says he is unhappy with the truck and wants his money back. I ask him what is wrong with it and he says it leaks through the back window in 4 places. He also said the brakes were not working properly and the backup lights do not work. I have already spent the money I got from him on a different truck and I told him that. I didn't know what to say so I told him I would get back to him.
Just a little info on the truck, its a 1982 Ford F150. I has a rebuilt 351 Windsor engine with less than 10k on it and it has a rebuilt transmission and new clutch with less than 500 miles as well. 4 new tires too. Barely a spot of rust on it and nice interior. Maybe there was a leak by the window I did not know about but it was not a daily driver for me and it certainly did not smell bad or anything in the interior. Nothing a $5 tube of sealer wouldn't fix too. I guess its possible that the backup lights do not work but I did not know about it if they don't work. As far as the breaks go, I think he probably did not warm up the truck enough and it started to stall on him and brakes did not work as well in 1982 if the engine started to stall. It happened to me once as well and I specifically told him this when he looked at it.
I thought I gave the guy a fair deal. Its not like the engine blew or the clutch went. Any opinions on what I should do and does anybody know what the law is in NJ as far as any obligation I have to him? I do not want him to be unhappy but it is almost a week later and I already spent the money on another truck. I always respect opinions on here so that is why I am asking.
