Then you'll have to go back to court to enforce the judgement and try to get their checks garnished or something.
In the end you will probably spend more time than you want in court or with attorneys. Even if you collect everything, you will probably have to pay a good chunk of it to your lawyer.
It's really not worth it for $2500.

not true - just file a small claim. They don't have money? Well do they have a job? Once you get a judgment in your favor you have to wait 30 days then you can file a writ of execution and take what ever you want (other cars, their pay checks, etc).
I have done it several times for small amounts and I even collected $60,000 in under 2 years from a guy who was on unemployment and had nothing. We took his car and once his unemployment ran out his wages.
