strange situation

[biker]

My friend was just served to go to small claims court. The info that he has is from a lady that bought a bike from him. She took it to a bike shop that told her that the bike is not rideable (only after the shop charged her $500 for parts). They said it looks like it was hit by a car. I know that the bike has never been hit (we ride to work together and I would have heard about this). What type of proof can he get to show he has never been hit.

I would start with an expert opinion, that will testify on his behalf. Pictures, and a CARFAX report.

sorry...I should have stated more clearly that this is a bicycle. There is no was to get a wreck report on a bicycle

Were the terms of the sale as/is?

I believe so. He told the lady that it had never been hit by a car or in an accident. She took it to a bike shop who told her that it had been hit. He is settling before court because he doesn't want to deal with this a wedding and new house and sick parent. I think he should have taken it to court.
