Appeal from a judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Queens County (Anna
Culley, J.), entered March 15, 2006. The judgment, after a nonjury trial, awarded plaintiff the
principal sum of $728.12.
Judgment affirmed without costs.
Defendant car dealership appeals from a small claims judgment which awarded plaintiff the principal sum of $728.12 as reimbursement for having to replace a defective fuel pump and a defective horn on a used car which plaintiff purchased from defendant. The proof established that plaintiff received a 30-day/1,000-mile warranty from defendant (see generally Vehicle and Traffic Law § 417; Natale v Martin Volkswagen, Inc., 92 Misc 2d 1046, 1050 [1978]) and that the car would not start two days after its delivery to plaintiff.
Upon a review of the record, we are satisfied that plaintiff established defendant's liability and thus substantial justice was done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law (see CCA 1807; Schiffman v Deluxe Caterers of Shelter Rock, 100 AD2d 846, 846-847 [1984]).
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
Rios, J.P., Pesce and Golia, JJ., concur.
