If someone purchases a car from a delearship two years ago (read below?

Whenever I bought it a check engine light came on . Not even a week later I took it back to where I bought it from and the guy told me there was an electrical problem in the engine and it took them over a month to figure out what was wrong with it and two years later (today) I got a letter in the mail saying they are sueing me for the full price of the car that I didn’t even have for 3 days. They are sueing me for over 6 grand .

Additional information
*Purchased in state of Delaware
*No loan was taking out for car
*In house finacing
*Sold me a “lemon law” car
* I paid over a grand in cash for the down payment
* It was a used car
Why can they sue me for a car that I haven’t had in over 2 years ( I just paid off the car I do have and own it now ) and for a car they sold me with problems and they kept?
What are the options ?
*Asking for someone those are their exact words .

It may be better to hire an attorney to go over the details of the lawsuit, but why they would sue someone over a car that they sold sounds fishy to me. Maybe they thought the car was fine and then it was returned with problems?

Didn’t even have the car for more than a week. Check engin came on so I returned it to be fixed and he kept giving me the runaway. Its been more than a month I couldn’t use the car. So I told him I’m not paying for a car I don’t @SW-User

@Zelda Sounds like they're trying to blame what was wrong with the car on you. And who knows when that problem would have occurred, or how long the car had actually been sitting and slowly deteriorating to the point of causing a problem as soon as you fired it up.

Fishy. Get legal protection.
