  On 04/16/22 I purchased a 2010 ****** ******** VIN # ***************** for total purchase price of $ 5422.68. The “Agreement and Bill of Sale” form that the business owner, and I both signed that day stated the vehicle was under warranty for 90 days or 3000 miles at 50/50 coverage. At time of sale it had 197855 miles on the odometer. On 05/18/22, as I was driving home , I noticed smoke coming from under the hood. I pulled off the road, opened the hood, and called my son for help. My son arrived with, the man who sold me the vehicle. Mr. C****** took a quick inspection of my vehicles engine and said the fluids looked fine. And he believed it was just a bad alternator. He told me to have the vehicle towed to his garage the get repairs done. On 05/20/22 I had my vehicle delivered to him, via a flatbed truck. At that time the vehicle had 198964 miles on it. It had been driven less than 90 days, and under 3000 miles. My assumption was that the parts and repairs were to be covered under warranty at 50/50. When I contacted the owner he said that the motor was seized. He would buy a used motor to replace it. He demanded that I pay for the entire cost of the motor. I did not have the money. Nor did I feel like I should have to pay for it because the warranty stated 50/50 coverage. Therefore, on 05/23/22, I messaged Mr. C****** to let him know that I would be having my vehicle towed to a different repair facility. He said that if I took my vehicle somewhere that the warranty would be voided. On 05/26/22 Mr. C****** sent me a message telling me he was going to be charging me $60 a day for storage charges starting on 05/30/22. I responded. “Fix my truck.” Mr. C****** sent me another text message stating “ 3500 +tax plus ur half up front “ I asked him why I needed to pay for my half of parts and repairs up front without proof. He said if I don’t agree we can meet in court. It will cost more than half of what i paid for this truck to have it repaired. I don't want it !
