sold a car with "sold as seen" on the reciept. Buyer now says car is blowing oil out . Where do i stand

Question

where do I stand as far as the law is concerned

Answer 1

A vehicle sold by a private owner is a used vehicle, and used vehicles are sold "as is", meaning you get what you see/hear. Once that deal is done, and the money has transferred hands, title is signed, you are not required to do anything regarding his complaint. You are free and clear from what you describe here.

Answer 2

You're fine. Used cars are considered "As Is" unless otherwise stated in writing. It is the buyer's responsibility to check things like that out BEFORE making the purchase. If they give you any hassle, tell them that you sold the car to them with the understanding that they were buying a used vehicle without a warranty. Once the money has changed hands it becomes their problem, not yours.

Answer 3

This is the kind of thing that keeps lawyers and judges in business. Perhaps a better way to word it would be "as is, where is, no warranty is expressed or implied". This is more to the point. As for your case, you should be ok unless the other guy has a better case and can satisfy a jury in small claims court.

Answer 4

If it has been more than three days you are fine. Most states have a "lemon law" that will cover rescension of contracts for three days. The only way that this can bite you in the butt is if you did something deliberately to hide the problem. Then they MIGHT be able to sue you for fraud to break the contract.

Answer 5

If both parties signed an agreement and it was witnessed and notarized. The buyer doesn't have a leg to stand on

Answer 6

he bought it with sold as seen on the reciept. if it started blowing oil out after he had it in his posession, and the sold as seen was indeed on the reciept, then in theory you are safe. be ready in case he does decide to chalenge it. i hope you have copies of every peice of paper you handed to him

Answer 7

You should be covered. Used car lots do that all the time,they sell cars with an "as is" sign on it and once you drive it off of the lot,it's out of their hands. Same principle,I wouldn't worry a bit.

Answer 8

If sold as seen means what i think.You have nothing to worry about.You sold it and its there problem now.This is what happens sometimes.This is why they say LET THE BUYER BEWARE.

Answer 9

you sold the car as is, and you owe the buyer nothing

Answer 10

completely clean. you dont need to do anything, as long as you didnt tell the customer that the car will never blow the oil out. which i doubt you did
