You are in a difficult position. If you sue him in small claims court, he will certainly lie and say that the 75,000 miles limitation was in the contract that you signed. Unless you have a signed a copy of the agreement with the mileage left blank, you will very likely lose your case, and will get nothing towards the repairs. If you agree to his offer to pay 1/2 of the charges, at least you will get something.. The key is whether you have a copy of the original contract. If not, you should probably settle, because it would be your word against theirs.
