Lahoma Beadell: She may be threatening to sue you, but it would cost a lot of money to hire an attorney and actually do it and if she lost, it wouldn't be worth it for $600. If she won, then you might have to pay her attorney cost too. In most states, a used car is sold "as is" and the fact that you revealed the salvage title to her means she should have understood what she was getting. She would almost certainly lose. She's bluffing you. A person who buys a $600 salvage car doesn't have the money for an attorney. Makes sense to you?...Show more
Kiersten Clayburn: to my judgement the car was running fine no problems until she drove it home and complain. I even let her test drive it befor she bought it.
Chris Coggins: she could sue, but she wouldn't win.
Lilli Kochel: she has no case, you didn't give a warranty
Sherrill Botting: Did you write "As-is" on the bill of sale? That would certainly help you. When a private party sells a car to another pri! vate party, the understood law is that there is no warranty expressed or implied with the sale, unless it's written on the bill of sale. However, in a situation like this, you're best bet is to have written "As-is" on the contract. Then it's fully understood by both parties that anything that occurs after the title is signed over, it is the responsibility of the new owner to fix it.Did you disclose that it has a salvage title? That will also work in your favor since anybody buying a salvaged car knows what they're getting into. At the very least, it's on the title.If you truly believed the car was in good running condition and it ran fine during the test drive, you should prevail. If she decides to sue, it will have to be in Small Claims Court because of the amount involved, $300. (not $600 since the bill of sale shows $300). She'll have to pay to file the claim, pay to have you served and if she should win, it's still up to her to collect. Small Claims Court does not pursu! e this matter. It only renders a judgement.If you want this t! o go away as fast as possible, make a deal with her. Tell her you'll give her $300 back if she returns the car. Afterall, that's all the bill of sale shows as the transaction price. Or offer to give her $200 back and she can keep the car and fix it herself. You can pocket the extra $100.If this doesn't work, let her file a claim with Small Claims. She'll most likely lose since "Salvage" is on the title and there was no warranty expressed or implied. However, "as-is" would have locked up the case for you....Show more
Ayesha Genova: I WOULD SAY SHE WOULD PROB LOSE IN COURT BUT IT WOULD COST BOTH OF YOU MORE THEN THE CAR TO DEAL WITH IT
Eleni Mccier: Used cars are sold "as-is" without warranty or guarantee. So you are not obligated to take the car back.However, it is easy to see how the buyer might think you knew about the problems and she feels you cheated her. Would you not feel the same way? She could take you to Small Claims Court but would problably not win.! However, she could try to make your life miserable if she wanted to. I would say use your conscience and do what is right, looking at it as if you were in her place. Unless you believe that she actually did something to break the car, I think you should give her the money back....Show more
Randa Hessell: well before that while i was driving the car never heats up it was fine.
Salvador Prchlik: Did you make false statements? If you promise the car was in good working condition then she does have a case. If you were truthful and told her the car heats up then you owe her nothing. Another thing is always put "AS IS" on the recieptIf anything you owe her $300 what you wrote down
