You should file suit immediately. You only have one year to sue for damage done to your car due to someone else's negligence. If the anniversary date of the accident has already passed, you may have already waited too long to sue for that.
You could still sue on the printed IOU he gave you, under a theory of breach of contract. You have 10 years to sue on a contract.
