I haven't been able to find out yet, but I can't imagine there being major engine damage from a car that was running fine, shut off for the time to shop for groceries, come out, start up and rattle around then shut off, and then the engine supposedly locked up. At low RPM's and a cool engine, if it had oil and water, I find it nearly impossible that it would be locked up or have sustained "major engine damage." I'm not sure if the new owners are trying to con me into a refund of some sort or not, that seems more likely than their story about my former car.
