after he contacted me stating that he sold the car I'm not sure where i put the bill of sale but it did clearly state "as-is" and he signed it. I figured that after he sold the car i no longer needed the paper work at that time. He sold the car because he was unhappy with it and never mentioned he wanted his money back until now. thanks for all the replys

He can sue you but wont win because you sold it as is,which removes you from liability,now that it is sold to someone else its not your worry anymore.

Technically, any one can sue anyone else for the cost of the filing fees. Realistically, this person is either a moron or believes you to be one to accept even a thought that when something is sold "as-is", he can sue for anything back. I will add one more important thought here. Let us suppose he actually does sue you, small claims or whatever. You can (and should) counter sue for a "frivolous lawsuit". If he calls again, you might want to mention that you intend on taking that course of action if he does carry out his empty threat. I am willing to bet you will never hear from him again. Good luck and I do hope this helps you.

That guys a freakin' idiot. He has no plausible cause to sue you. And, you're not really liable for his unhappiness, especially if you stated the car is sold as is. He's a hypocrite anyways, because he sold it too.

If he sold it so someone else, he doesn't even have it any longer.
Lacking any written promise to the contrary, used cars between individuals are sold as is. ignore him.

Tell him to go pound sand. If he doesnt like it, then have him serve you with a court warant, wont happen, dont worry about it. Most states have a 30 day take back, a third party is excluded.
Go with the pound sand.

you can sue someone for looking at you the wrong way nowadays, but in all honesty, there is no way he has any ground to stand on. What is it with people these days when it comes to used cars???? They expect WAYY too much out of them!

if you have the as is bill of sale you should be set. once this car was signed under your name and was no longer under his you ought to be good but you might want to go by a lawyer before you do me.

No lawyer in the world would take this law suit. Laugh at him, and hang up. If he calls back get an air horn.

He could take you to small claims. Many states take cases up to $5000.00 there now. He could end up owing you.
