not that i'm saying this is the case, but even if he doesn't get the "repair" money, he can still scrap it and profit, just not as much.

Valid. Buy a car for cheap, break it, get some money from the previous owner, and then scrap it. Pocket a few hundred dollars.
But, I have a feeling the car was sold for more than $250... A running Toyota should fetch at least $1,000, even with no AC and a zillion miles. I sold my faded purple, broken AC'd 208,000 mile Geo Metro for $1,500.
