The gears not going in correctly is something kind of hard to explain, I would put it into gear and let go of the clutch but when i gave it gas it was unresponsive. It would catch on about 5 seconds later and car would jerk a bit. And yes this car was brand new when I bought it in sept, only 8 miles on it. The car was bone stock, haven't done any mods to it.

I'll keep everyone updated as it happens.
The gear change issues are easy to explain. The fuel was leaking onto the clutch (the transmission bell housing isn't sealed that tight), so it wasn't working right (lots of slipping). Same thing happens if you get crap on the brakes - the car won't stop.

Good luck with the negotiations.
