I've had a lot of experience with small claims court during the time I was renting apartments. First you have to have clear evidence that the particular party actually caused the damage in order to get a judgement. If you succeed in that step then you face the problem of collecting. This can be difficult. Although in New York the Sheriff is supposed to collect, or at least aid in collection, this doesn't often happen. If you have a judgement against someone, you may have to wait until they want to do something that the judgement impedes. At least then you may be able to collect interest in addition to the claim. Another way to collect is to attach a persons salary. All of these procedures are at the least time consuming and unless the claim is substantial may not be worth the effort. Also, if you are dealing with people with a submarginal respect for the law, you may be inviting retaliation.

_WELL_ under $2K I hope as I looked at a few of these in VGC for about $1,200 .
I know the manual tranny is nice but in truth the next owner will use it to constantly overspeed and ruin the engine in short order .
Sounds like maybe a decent college car at the right price .

My daughters friend, who lives in Ventura, sent me this description from
a CL ad.
He's a starving college student, just needs basic transpo, and knows how
I love the old diesels.
he's trying to find something under 2K, that he can mostly drive
locally, once in a while a 500 mile trip "home"
anyone got any good leads?
Thanks
Henry
as follows:
Attention diesel people (you know who you are!), Selling my 84 190d, has
a 5 cylinder 2.5 engine transplant & 5 speed tranny, 15" wheels, newer
headlights, ok tires, good brakes, new ignition key tumbler, ball
joints, new glo plugs, shocks r good, no wrecks -clean title - a well
maintained, 35mpg car, OK interior. About 290K miles on car, 210K on
engine..upgrades/engine/transmission replacement done for
driveability!!! ..the power windows work, sunroof works, heat works but
ac needs to be connected, but it was working before the 5 cylinder
engine was installed - so it is easily fixable- it runs great, would
drive it anywhere as it sits, goes 70mph + up the grade on the 14 fwy.
Cosmetically car is OK+, has a little clearcoat peel, yellow paint,
little dings, etc..interior is mb tex, and is complete, but old. the car
drives straight and smoke is minimal (normal- no blowby). Keeps up with
modern traffic, won't win drag races, but way better than the 4 cylinder
190d, and the 5 speed is really what the Germans had in mind when they
made this car. XLNT commuter transportation, I am 2nd owner (I think),
have put about 140K on this car commuting back n forth from palmdale to
LA for work. Selling because I just bought a Golf TDI and I also have an
87 190d 2.5 turbo so I have too many cars right now. if interested just
call to get the whole story on the car - its a good car, not perfect,
but I have kept this car in pretty good shape for the last 3 years I've
owned it. Not too many of these cars out there, and most are automatic,
and 2.2 engine - this one rides great - so call mike ..car is currently
with my mechanic in Fontana, near intersection of 15 and 10 fwys - will
show by appt...calling is better than emailing!! phone number is
available by clicking the "contact" button
