Thank you for the valuable advice. I've elected to make my demand (non-negotiable) and as follows:

1. $39 bounced check fee

2. $50 to repair the broken hood latch

3. $8 for the replacement title

4. $150 for the tint removal

5.....and the government mileage rate ($0.445) per mile @ 875 miles. ($389.38)

The total is $536.38. I'll know in the next day or so if he agrees.

Thanks again.
