Ric,
Sounds like it might work out. Be cordial next time you speak to him.
He might pick up your 250 deductible and tear up your bill AND
apologize if you go away, that is, go away happy. Then you could
just chaulk it up to a bad experience.
You know, you could get into a big deal where your lawyer can depose
his mechanics and staff, depose him, find out who was driving or lying
about who was driving, all of that testimony would just make a jury
mad as hell. When I was working for a car dealer many years ago we
were told from day one, never, ever, let a customer take us to court
because there was NO WAY we could win. You could discuss this with an
attorney for free. You should do that. Who knows, a sharp attorney
may demand 2 or 3 grand in punitive damages for beach of duty or
something or other.

Screw the deductible, this should not be on Ric`s insurance at all. Ric
should go in and ask for his insurance information and let them pay for it
without any mark on his record. Then he should tell them to cancel all
charges and fire the person responsible.

Agreed. It happened on THEIR watch, not yours. They are responsible for
the car from the time they take it, regardless of the form and signature.
It is a thing called negligence and that pretty well nulls out everything
else. If they act responsible, and something happens (jet crashes on
building, hurricane rips through) then it is your problem. If they leave it
outside in the dark with the windows rolled down and someone steals it, that
is negligence and they are responsible.
If you haven`t talked to a lawyer yet, RUN to the phone at 9 am and start
calling and talking to some.
Would you have bought this car if it had been wrecked? Probably not, and now
it is. It will go to a repair shop, not a restoration shop, so it will be
fixed, not restored, and that is a big difference. You`ll probably sell
within 6 months or gripe every other day for the next 5 years if you don`t
sell.
