[toms03cobra]

i had 95 gmc yukon lifted that i sold last week. the guy came from virgina he had a guy with him he said was a mechanic checked it out and said it was good.when he got it home he had it inspected. He said there is 7500 dollars of work to do that it is not road safe and not meeting emissions .so he said that he is going to sue me . just wanted to know what u guys thank. thanks

[s13]

he is from virgina, nothing will happen..

I would tell him you hope to hear from his attorney soon. He bought it fair and square. Did you at least get him to sign a "as-is" bill of sale? I dont think theres really anything he can do on a used car from a private seller. The guy would have to prove that you intentionally sold him a car with issues you knew and didnt disclose at the time of sale.

buyer beware. vehicle sold as is with on warranty. besides his mechanic said it was good.

[3.1cutlass]

He can't do a damn thing.

[iwashmycar]

different states different rules. some crazy shit can drive around up here.

 

youll be fine. tell him to bring it.

[SiColin]

What kind of work does it need that adds up to 7,500.

 

Pretty sure he's SOL.

[John Bruh]

Tell him to ead

[BDHG940]

How much did he write on the title he paid for this Yukon?

[toms03cobra]

he put $100

[jerrodh]

So looks like at worst you owe him $100?

 

Your fine.

[nurkvinny]

He can't do a damn thing.

 

Pretty sure he's SOL.

 

Tell him to ead

 

Yep.

 

he put $100

 

Ha. Is there a singed bill of sale with terms and a price?

[Forrest Gump 9]

Now let's me get this straight, he bought a truck from you for "$100" and he want to sue you for $7500? That's make a lot of sense Noe does it?

[Dan1647545506]

sounds like hes trying to get money from you. i doubt much is wrong.

[BrianZ06]

He bought it and it is his now. No warranty was given. Be done with it.

[BoostedAce]

Same thing happened to me but guy tryed to get his money back on that pos talon I had, guy said drive axle poped out on 71 driving home..........how does that happen? Anyway he sounded like a complete lier......come to think about it... I now have another pos talon. Shame on me twice in a row.

[jeffro]

since 100$ is on the title, that would be the most he could sue you for. thats a legal document.

[V8 Beast]

Tell him he needs a new mechanic

[jerrodh]

And a new truck apparently cause he's not getting jack shit from you.

[V8 Beast]

Tell him I'll buy it for $50

[TTQ B4U]

Tell him to sue kick his mechanic friend in the nuts and that if he continues to harass you that you'll file charges.

[evil8]

Refund him his 100 dollars and take the truck back. WIN!!

[Jeffrey]

Anything sold used is implied to not have a warranty unless otherwise specified.

[Otis Nice]

he put $100

 

"He put"? How much did he buy it for? If he paid anything over $100 then he pulled some fraud. I notarize doc's all the time and NEVER do I notarize the price. People put a lower price all the time to avoid paying full taxes.

 

Tell him to EAD and you'll see him in court.

 

EDIT: Also, as everyone else said, it's sold "as is". I personally make it a practice to write "Sold as is" on all 4 edges of a title if I'm the seller.

[Richard Cranium]

Refund him his 100 dollars and take the truck back. WIN!!

 

^^^ This, If he doesn't like it he can have his money back in exchange for returning the truck.
