There’s not much civil about it, nor is there much justice offered in any of its verdicts.

Understood; I'm in an industry that is fairly litigious but is almost always subrogatted to insurance companies. My buddy is retired and more than a little pissed. He'd rather spend $15k in court than give the guy a $15k reduction. Tough to sleep at night knowing someone fleeced you out of your savings. If it were $25k or so, probably different story.
I'm particularly crusty considering I could have had the car (wanted it for parts) but my offer was a good enough stalking horse to get this guy to come up to fair market value.
Not going to post the car. This d-bag has zero ethics; a quick lexus nexus shows his "store-front" ****-box law firm does mostly nuisance suits and "hard money lender" representation in Staten Island. Should be easy enough to find with info already given.
