My husband and I bought a car a month ago and it died two days after we bought it from a private person. We've been trying to contact them to get this settled without having to go to court and we never received an answer back. When I was going over the pink slip so we'd have proof of how much we bought the car for I noticed the wrong amount had been put on the transfer slip. Does anyone know how we can go about getting this fixed?|||Most used cars are sold "as is." If you bought an "as is" vehicle, you don't have much of a legal claim for damages. If you live in a state that requires a minimum warranty period, you probably have some recourse against the seller.
Unless the seller agrees to correct the transfer slip, you are probably out of luck. If you plan on legal action against the seller, the person is not going to cooperate to help you build a case against them.
Are you sure it was a private seller or was it a curbstoner? Curbstoning is illegal in most states and may provide a means to build a case against the seller.|||Sorry but where I am from you would be out of luck. Check with your state you may have a lemon-law.|||If you don't have anything in writing showing a warranty was in effect, you're out of luck. DOn't waste any time or money speaking with a lawyer. They will take even more of your money and not stand a chance at winning the case. Did you inspect the car before you bought it?
It doesn't matter if you bought it for $1 or $1,000,000. You are now the proud owner of a dead car.
