It was in prefict running condition that he bought the car for his wife. but she was to tall for it. aaron don't no anything about cars, but put gas in it and drive.3 days later I had to move it ,well it wouldent start .so i jumped it -OK- well when i put it on the street the break peddle almost hit the floor and the break light was on. so i had aaron call keven. well the agreement that was given dose say "as is" and that keven would help fix anything wrong with the car up to 90 days.well call after call and all the run around its been 30 days already....

"well the agreement that was given dose say "as is" and that keven would help fix anything wrong with the car up to 90 days"
That answers the question for you. There was an agreement that stated "as is" ... no, you couldn't get the money back and you wouldn't win in small claims court.

The magic word is "AS IS" Did Aaron sign a agreement or was this by mouth only? If he signed anything he may get some help with the repairs , If not it is just his word against Kevin. If he is under 18 then he can get his money back for the car because he is a minor& you can not enter into a contract with a minor with out a adults permision, GOOD LUCK.

If Kevin the seller put that in writing along with the sell then you have a case otherwise aaron may have to eat it because your warranty claim that kevin said is hearsay so kevin could refute that claim unless there were a couple eyewitnesess to hear kevins 90 day warrenty claim. Then possibly you might have a case but it would be hard if no written agreement past purchase was given by kevin. Godd luck

It depends on if a contract was signed. If he signed a contract which in affect said "I am purchasing it, As it is".. then you would have difficulty claiming your money back. However, in regards to all purchases, even with contracts, there is a certain amount of time in which you can request your money back. Even if he signed a contract acknowledging he knew about the faults.
Try your luck and see. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Try to make contact with him again first though.

No without a signed statement of the seller agreeing to fix problems. you just basically are in the "as is " catagory! Watch Judge judy

You cannot sue on your nephew's behalf. This is his problem, not yours. You can testify on his behalf at trial about the problems with the car, but your nephew has the burden of proof and must be the one to file the lawsuit.
