Legal: Do I have some sort of case here?

[M13]

Right now, my buddies have a bad room mate who came home drunk a few times (too many), wrecked **** around the house, caused noise complaints from neighbours and peed on the couch several times (while passed out).

Two things are being done right now since they can't kick him out (co-lease on rent)

1. Turkey baster + 1 quart of 10W30 into his muffler.

He now believes his engine is blown as it is just PUKING oil. There is nothing wrong with the engine at all, but the placebo effect has caused him to believe his HG is blown. ROFL.

2. Buddies used the trouble-maker's email address to post some men-to-men ads on craigslist and the count is now up 160 emails since Monday. He's got some older men asking for phone numbers over the email now, if he keeps up the wreckage and disrespect around the house they will just post his numbers on craigslist.

The best part is that the guy is freaking out but doesn't share the two things with his roomates due to embarassment.

NEVER go out of your way without some sort of money in hand...aka DEPOSIT.
They COME TO YOU to look at the car, test drive, etc, then if they want to go ANY further with ANYTHING, get a deposit.
Even if they want to have it "checked" by a mechanic or whatever get a deposit while they do so. It's time wasted, and, it's still YOUR car until paid for.
No deposit...write them off as tire kickers.

It sucks, but over the years I've learned that 90% or better of the people that show "interest" in a car you're selling are just wasting your time.

The guy selling the Subaru did it right, unfortunately it was at your expense.

I'd say just forget it.... and live and learn.

Kinda suprising it HASN'T sold yet tho....nice looking car.
Reasonable price too, man people are retards. They lost out.

Good luck.

I just thought of something... did you let them test drive it?

They probably saw a few around town and wanted to see what it was like to test drive one... and then one lie turned into another and bam.
