CPers -

So my brother had been driving an old truck for about 2-3 years but decided to sell it last week. He ended up finding a buyer and sold it for $600. Just a couple days later, the timing belt went on the truck and now the buyer is harassing him to give 1/2 the money back or he's going to take my brother to small claims court.

Does my brother have anything to worry about? There was no fraud as it was honestly just bad timing and the truck itself was quite old. I want to tell him that it's a pretty obvious case of "buyer beware" but I want to be confident in doing so. Is there something specific I can cite to him?

One last issue, is that he left his bill of sale in the truck after he sold it, so the buyer has both copies. I doubt this matters, but I wanted to make sure I included all the pertinent information for you guys' advice.

Thanks
