Used Car Liability

I sold my used car about a month ago. It had 78,000 miles on it, and needed a couple wear and tear repairs, which the buyer WAS aware of(brakes, shocks and struts, ac needed charged). About two weeks ago, the person that bought it called me and said that so far, the car has cost him 2000 worth of work. For the repairs listed above, but in addition, he says that the rear end(it is a rear wheel drive car), needs completely rebuilt because the clutches are burnt out, and it also has a bent axle. I had had the car for about 2 years, and never had any problems with the rear, and it was inspected when I sold it to him. Basically, he wants me to pay for half ($1000) of the repairs that he has made so far, or he says that he will sue me for the full $2000. I have a couple of problems with this- The car has been in his possession now for about a month, and I don't know what he's done to it in that time. The fact is, he drove it four hours home, and I never had problems with the rear end, so he could very well be responsible for that part of the damage. He wants 1000 from me, but when he bought it he was aware that it would cost him approx. that just to fix the above mentioned items. Should I be concerned about my liability?
