The person who bought my car needs to replace the engine, which will cost 1,800 dollars. Do you think I'm in trouble? What should I do? Please give me some answers.
THANKS
Answer:
Its possible this could even be a scam on you. Scammers are getting more and more clever. How do you know the motor is blown? Have they proved it to you? How do you know they didnt run it without oil or something else to ruin the motor. You are not responsible for it unless it was signed in paper that you would fix it if broken!
Answer:
Did you sell it with a warranty? Or was it just as is, as are most used cars?
If you sold it as is (without a warranty) ask him why he is telling you this.
Answer:
hey .. your not in trouble ……….IF !!! you worte on the ad that you sold it as is !!!
if you did then their is nothing he can do
Answer:
Unless you sold him a warranty, its his problem. He should have taken it to a mechanic before buying it, and if he did he should blame the mechanic.
Answer:
when buying a car through a private seller you take he risk of the car having Defaults, mate you do not have to pay a dime to him, at the end of the day he prolly thrashed the crap out of the car to begin with
Answer:
If you sold as is why would you be in trouble? You cant control how people drive . You dont have to pay for #@$%. They cant do anything about it unless you signed a contract stating otherwise!!!
Answer:
I sale used car for a living … No theres a lemon law but 3 to 4 weeks is far good enough . The car is metal and plastic and that even used. If you did an as is you should be fine. Who knows how hard they have driven it ? They could have ran it through a frigen pond bolted nitrous to it . Held it wide open throttle. You are fine . If they wanted a warranty they should have asked you about that when buying.
Answer:
did you explain to them that the vehicle was 'for sale as is' condition and gave them time to examine the vehicle?
Answer:
People buy used cars "as is". That means there's no guarantee. You're not in trouble. It's not your car, so it's not your problem!
Answer:
nope. he should have checked that before he bought the car. not your problem. stick to your guns.
Answer:
It depends…..Hopefully you did state "sold as is".
It also depends on what your state lemon law is….see the link below.
Like here in Washington DC;
Unfortunately, most used cars are not covered under the Lemon Law, but hold on… don't get discouraged yet …If you have a manufacturer's warranty, original or extended, we can still help you under the aforementioned Magnuson Moss Act. Also, if a dealer misrepresents a car at the time of sale, you may have rights under the Unfair Trade Practices Act. We encourage you to contact us to find out if and how we can be of assistance in these matters.
