Sold the car.
Few weeks later the head gasket blows confirmed by their mechanic.
Don't have the money to fix right away.
Later go to a second shop and they say the engine was JB welded together and the engine should be replace.
I get an email saying I should pay half.
I told them the contract they made up states the car is sold as is with no warranties or guarantees expressed or implied.
They talked to a lawyer and now want to take me to court.

The car was running like a beast after the swap. Did a run up to Tofino and back and was running great.
Can they do that? Private sale = buyer beware. How is a private seller obligated to cover repair cost after sale without an agreement between the two parties.
