(hereinafter "Mercedes") appeal from a judgment against them and in favor of plaintiff, David Vincent Dickenson, in an action brought for breach of warranty, negligence, and deceptive trade practices in the sale and repair of a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300D.

The jury found Ryan and Mercedes jointly and severally liable for $8,679.30 in actual damages, plus attorneys fees. The jury awarded Dickenson additional damages of $3,000 from Ryan and $7,000 from Mercedes based on their finding that the defendants actions were committed knowingly. The judgment further ordered Mercedes to fully indemnify Ryan. Mercedes also appeals from the judgment on the question of Ryans right to indemnity.
