Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Missouri

I recently sold a vehicle to an individual for $1,500 and had it listed for $1,700 I reduced the price for this person, the water pump broke on the way to the home, they called me, I asked how hot the vehicle gat and they said all the way to the H (HOT) even though it was sold as is I went and bought them a water pump belt out of good faith. This individual calls one week later and says the radiator is bad and it is going to cost $800, however with the vehicle getting hot and they continued to drive it this could have happened then. I am thinking of giving them $200 of the money in this case out of good faith but would like to no where I stand legally.

It you sold the vehicle As Is, then you owe them nothing. But, if it doesn't say As Is on any of the paper evidencing the sale, one might ink you warrantied the car by buying the belt. You should have a civil practice attorney, in the area, look at a copy of the bill of sale and other documents. If you buy a resistor, or give them money, you are probably warranting the vehicle, and they'll keep coming back for more.

Good luck
