Its literally impossible that a car warranty repair issue would cause you to lose your job and claiming so makes you look like you are just working an angle. There are literally DOZENS of things that could have been done for transportation starting with Uber, borrowing a car, or buses. That YOU allowed a vehicle to sit at a dealership - likely because you could not afford or refused to pay for repairs - is inherently ridiculous, and that is likely why it was sold to pay a mechanics lein for storage. Its simply not credible that they refused to provide you a repair estimate FOR A YEAR as thats what they do for a living. What you should have done is retained a lawyer when they refused the warranty repairs, if it was a warranty item and they were wrong OR if you know they were right, removed the car to a shop that would have addressed the repair cost. NOT a year later.
