NEED HELP!!! Sold my car and this happened.... - GoFuckYourself.com

PimpDaddyPants · 11-02-2005, 02:34 PM

I sold my car to some little punk ass 19yr yesterday, I took it to the dealer to have a 40pt inspection/ and safety check on it. There was noting wrong with the car....

This kid was test driving my car like dale earnhardt jr, asshole type driver going massive speeds.

He just called me and told me he was stuck in miami with a broken axle and then insisted that i paid for it or go half with him on it, when i paid for the inspection and overnight for title $120.

I wrote on the bill of sale "Sold As Is No Warranty"

There was nothing wrong with the car when it left dealer or my house. They paid only after inspection on car was done.

Am I protected?

Please input (first time selling car)

thanks!

You should be fine.

emthree · 11-02-2005, 02:38 PM

He bought it, he broke it. His responsibility.
I dont understand why you're refering to it as "test driving" if he allready paid for the car.

Sam Granger · 11-02-2005, 02:39 PM

Hey, if he bought a piece of crap, its his fault

Greg MissionD · 11-02-2005, 02:39 PM

Yes you are fine, "sold as seen" or "Sold As Is No Warranty"

kristin · 11-02-2005, 02:40 PM

If he has the title, it's his car. Plain and simple. You no longer own it, it's his. He has to pay for it.

In almost all states unless you give the buyer a written warrenty private party sales are always as is.
If he has paid and he got the title etc, his car and his problem.

GlydeGirl · 11-02-2005, 02:42 PM

I don't know... isn't there a 30 day "cooling off" period that you have to contend with? I mean, while it makes sense that he was driving the hell out of the car which is why it broke, he may have some recourse if it occurred within 30 days of buying it from you. I recommend you call up your insurance company and ask them!

cellmoresmut · 11-02-2005, 02:42 PM

Depends where you sold the car. Some states assume big items like cars and boats etc are sold with an implied warranty even if the bill of sale says "as is". Other states consider that clause to be valid. I would check with the (local)attorney general's office or consumer affairs and see what prevails. Good Luck

PimpDaddyPants · 11-02-2005, 02:44 PM

title has been mailed out to him. so yeah!

atom · 11-02-2005, 02:45 PM

buyer beware

em_sc · 11-02-2005, 03:31 PM

there is no cool off period at least in canada but after the title goes in his name the car is his especially if you wrote as is no warranty tell him to....

there is nother he can do at this point it would be impossible for him to prove it was your fault i'm sure you have the inspection report from the dealer so you are fine...hope this helps

This might be a good question for an actual attorney in the area where you live since state laws vary. ;)
