between the parties sometime in October 2013, defendant sold his Jeep Wrangler
4X4 with registration No. GS 2952-Y to the plaintiff. It is the case of
plaintiff that the agreed price of Ghc31,000 was to be paid by the end of
December 2013 by three installments. He paid two installments totaling
Ghc21,000 into defendant’s bank account leaving a balance of Ghc10,000. As agreed
by the parties, he presented the pay in slip to defendant’s tenant who handed
over the keys to the vehicle and the documents to him. On taking possession of
the vehicle, he noticed some defects and accordingly notified defendant who had
then travelled to the United States of America. Defendant recommended that the
vehicle be sent to his (defendant’s) mechanic. At the workshop, the mechanic
gave plaintiff a list of parts that needed replacement and plaintiff forwarded
the list to defendant in America.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;He purchased the parts at the cost of $840 and plaintiff refunded
the amount to him. Some parts
were also purchased locally by plaintiff at the cost of Ghc5,280 and installed
on the vehicle.<o:p></o:p>Plaintiff contended that
further to the sale transaction, he leased his sachet water production factory to defendant for two years at a monthly rent of GHc500
with the understanding that the rent payable
