Re: Coons v. Varner, No. 99.4434
Dear Dale:
Tel 717-249-6427
Fax 717-249.8427
I am writing to follow tip on our telephone conversation of yesterday
afternoon. This in to confirm that I will be filing a Praecipe to discontinue the above
action as Mr. Coons has informed me that he does not wish to pursue it further.
The matter is now set for a hearing before your arbitration panel Monday at 2:00
p.m. It is my understanding that I will not he able to file the Praccipe until you
communicate to Judge Hoffer by letter that the pane! needs to be released and he
then enters an Order to that effect. It is also my understanding that under this
prmedure, you will be compensated as chair of the panel. I am in agreement that
the hearing should now be cancelled but I felt it was not appropriate for me to do so.
I have informed Ron Turo, however, of the status of the case. Thank you for your
consideration.
Very truly yours,
JACOBSEN & MILKES

GERALD VARNER, SR. and : CIVIL ACTION - LAW
GERALD VARNER, JR.
DEFENDANTS
COMPLAINT
AND NOW comes Anthony Coons Jr., by his counsel, Samuel W. Milkes,
Esquire, JACOBSEN & MILKES, and states as follows:
1. The Plaintiff, Anthony Coons, Jr. is an adult individual residing at 116 East
Orange Street, Shippensburg, Cumberland County, PA 17257.
2. The Defendant, Gerald Varner, Sr. is an adult individual residing at, and/or
doing business at 326 Doubling Gap Road, Newville, Cumberland County, PA 17241.
3. The Defendant, Gerald Varner, Jr. is an adult individual residing at, and/or
doing business at 608 North Middle Road, Newville, Cumberland County, PA 17341.
4. On or about May 5, 1999, the Defendants placed an ad for the sale of a 1977
Ford truck, through the Sentinel newspaper.
5. The Plaintiff responded to this ad, by telephoning the telephone number set
forth in this ad.
6. In response to the telephone message, or Caller ID message left as a result of
the Plaintiffs telephone call, the Defendant, Gerald Varner, Sr., returned the
telephone call about the truck.
7. Gerald Varner, Sr., at that time, told the Plaintiffs grandmother that the truck
was in good condition and would pass the state-required inspection.
8. As a result of this telephone call, the Plaintiff again called the advertised
telephone number and spoke with Gerald Varner, Sr. At that time, the Plaintiff
learned that the truck could be observed by coming to Mr. Varner Sr.'s place of
residence and place of business at 326 Doubling Gap Road, Newville, Cumberland
County, PA.
9. The Plaintiff came by that location and observed the truck. Because he had
been told that there was another prospective buyer for this truck, and that the first
one to indicate a willingness to purchase the truck would be able to do so, the Plaintiff
left a deposit for the truck at that time.
10. The advertised sales price for the truck was One Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars ($1,500.00) and the Plaintiff expressed his intention to purchase the truck for
that amount.
11. The Plaintiff then met with Gerald Varner, Jr., at 326 Doubling Gap Road,
Newville, to look over the vehicle. At that time, Gerald Varner, Jr. stated that the
truck was generally in good condition and that it would pass the state-required
inspection.
12. At the time of the sale, the vehicle was not inspected and could therefore not
be taken for a test drive.
13. Based upon, and in reliance upon the representations made by the
Defendants, the Plaintiff decided to purchase the vehicle.
14. The Plaintiff and Gerald Varner, Jr. completed the required paperwork, for
transfer of a motor vehicle, at Sollenberger's Messenger Service in Shippensburg, PA.
At this time, the Plaintiff completed the payment of the One Thousand Five Hundred
Dollar ($1,500.00) purchase price and also paid Two Hundred Six Dollars and 50/100
($206.50) for various transfer and sales tax costs. Copies of relevant documents are
attached.
15. The Defendant, Gerald Varner, Sr., at all relevant times, held himself out to
be an agent and/or a party having an economic interest in the truck to be sold, by the
following actions:
a. The telephone number listed for the sale of this vehicle was Gerald
Varner, Sr.'s telephone number;
b. Gerald Varner Sr. offered information about the truck, and its condition,
when he communicated with the Plaintiff and/or members of the
Plaintiffs family;
c. The location where the vehicle was made available to look at, and all
negotiations and transactions occurring with regard to this vehicle,
other than at Sollenberger's Messenger Service, took place at Gerald
Varner, Sr.'s place of business and residence;
d. Mr. Varner, Sr. participated in or made the decision to contact the police
about the return of this vehicle and took action to have the vehicle towed
to a salvage yard; and
e. It is believed and therefore avered that one or more of the amounts
tendered by the Plaintiff in this transaction were deposited in the
account of Gerald Varner, Sr. or provided to Gerald Varner, Sr.
16. After the sales transaction described above was completed, the Plaintiff
learned of significant defects in this vehicle, which would cause it not to be capable of
passing the state-required inspection without major work to be performed. These
defects included cracks in the frame of the vehicle, rusting out of the floorboards,
rusting in other locations, steering problems, and other problems.
17. The Plaintiff obtained a statement from Interstate Body Shop, a copy of which
is attached, describing the repairs that would be necessary and the price of these
repairs, in order for this vehicle to pass inspection. They total One Thousand Eighty-
six Dollars and 50/100 ($1,086.50).
18. Upon learning of these problems, the Plaintiff contacted the Defendants by
providing them with a copy of the June 3, 1999 letter from Samuel W. Milkes, counsel
for the Plaintiff. A copy of this letter is attached.
19. On June 3, 1999, the Plaintiff had the truck towed to the place where it was
purchased, 326 Doubling Gab Road, Newville, and the Plaintiff left the vehicle at that
location, with the above-referenced June 3, 1999, letter and the keys to the vehicle.
20. At that time, the Plaintiff specifically rejected acceptance of this vehicle for
the reasons that the implied and expressed warranties associated with the sale of this
vehicle had been violated and that the vehicle had been sold by the making of
fraudulent misrepresentations by the Defendants.
21. Both Defendants are very familiar with this vehicle and have some knowledge
of automotive mechanics themselves. One or both of them have worked on this
vehicle at various times, including having worked on the vehicle in locations where
the major defects described above would have been known and observed.
22. After Plaintiffs return of the truck, instead of retaining the truck on the
property, where it had been located before the sale transaction, Gerald Varner, Sr.
and Jr. took steps to have the vehicle towed to a salvage yard, where a towing charge
was incurred, daily storage fees were incurred, and where the vehicle was impounded,
to be sold as salvage, unless these costs were paid. A copy of a notice connected with
these occurrences is attached.
23. Mr. Varner, Sr. and Mr. Varner, Jr. both have places where the vehicle could
be kept, without the necessity of having incurred these costs and consequences.
24. The vehicle has now, presumably, been sold as salvage and none of the
proceeds have been made available to the Plaintiff.
25. As a result of the above described conduct of the Defendants, the Plaintiff has
suffered the following damages:
a. The sales price of $1,500.00;
b. The transfer cost and the sales tax cost of $206.50;
c. The towing cost to return the vehicle of $58.60;
d. Continuing storage and towing cost, amounting to in excess of $500.00;
e. Costs in the filing of the Complaint at the District Justice level and at
the Common Pleas level.
26. Following a hearing before District Justice Shulenberger, a judgment was
entered in favor of the Plaintiff in this case, on July 9 1999, in the total amount of
Two Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-two Dollars 10/100 ($2,232.10).
27. The Defendants filed a timely Appeal to this judgment.
28. Since the time Plaintiff communicated to Defendants that he would not keep
the truck, he has continually offered to transfer the title back to Gerald Varner, Sr.
He also stated this at the District Justice hearing.
29. The Defendants have not retrieved the truck from the salvage yard, to which
they had the truck towed and they have been unwilling to accept transfer of the truck
back to their ownership.
30. The Plaintiff has suffered total damages in an amount less that Twenty-five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), as specified above.
WHEREFORE, for the above referenced reasons, Plaintiff respectfully requests
of this Court that it order judgment in his favor, for the damages specified above, and
it grant such other relief as may be just and proper under the circumstances.
Respectfully submitted,
?

Dear Mr Varner:
Please be advised that I represent Anthony Coons with regard to the 1977 Ford
truck he recently purchased from you. This is to advise you that Mr. Coons hereby
formally rejects any acceptance of this truck. He is returning it to you.
The truck was purchased with the understanding that it would pass the state
required inspection. It was also purchased with the understanding there were no
structural defects associated with the vehicle. Mr. Coons has discovered that the frame
to the truck is cracked. He has also discovered that it will cost well in excess of $1,000
for the truck to pass inspection. Attached you will find a copy of an estimate from
Interstate Body Shop, detailing the work that needs to be completed in order for the
truck to pass inspection. You will note that the last two items, relating to the turn
signals and the horn, are not priced, since the cost will depend upon what needs to be
done to repair these items. Therefore, the total estimate of $1,086.50 is not complete.
Upon receipt of a refund of the $1,500 paid to you, Mr. Coons will transfer title
back to you. We can accomplish this by your forwarding this amount to my office. I
will hold the money, and not release it to Mr. Coons until title has been transferred.
If we have not received this refund by June 11, 1999, we will be filing a
compliant at the District Justice. At that time, we would be requesting that you pay
the damages suffered by Mr. Coons, which include not only the $1,500 paid for the
truck but also the title fees and sales tax, totaling over $200 in additional costs.
What I am saying is that if you pay back the $1,500 by June 11, you will avoid
these costs, as well as our request for attorney fees and costs of the District Justice
action.
Very truly yours,
JACOBSEN & MMIILKES
