I sold a used 1979 Motorcycle. I provided a list of parts and services performed while I owned the bike and now the person that purchased this 23 yr old motorcycle wants to sue me for "Deceptive Trade". He states that I lied about the new parts/services performed and he is suing for $5000.
Primarily he has complained that the new pistons/rings I said were installed were not properly installed. He claims there were 2 different types of gaskets and that I am liable for the damage to the motorcycle.
He only paid $3500 for the bike. I am a private individual and do not sell anything on a regular basis. I no longer have receipts for the things I purchased and can only go in and say that I did verbally with no documentation to back it up. Am I going to go in and lose this case, or is there stuff I can do to still win? I have collected copies of all the receipts I can remember, but there are still items I have no receipts for. What should I do?
