Unbelievable: Sold car now he want's his money back

[eldubb440]

I told him I would write up a BOS he sad no need he just needs the title and a hand shake. I know I should have insisted.

did he sign the title as buyer? with a date? purchase price?

 

[eldubb440]

it was a cash deal? no one can prove how much?

Take it back. Sell it for more money. Honestly, I’d read your BOS carefully. Does it say “sold as is where is without warranty after an inspection?” What state did the sale occur? Can he sue you in another state and require you to hire an attorney there? Are there any misrepresentations?
Not a lawyer but can tell you it may not be worth the hassle.

What if the buyer broke it by beating the snot out of it? No reasonable person would offer or expect to receive any kind of warranty on a car that's nearly six decades old. The buyer personally inspected the car and closed the deal so it's all on him. I would also tell the buyer to pound sand…

Sorry you're going through this chit. Is he a member here? Would love to hear his side of this...Should be very entertaining.

So you simply signed the title and turned it over to him without filling it out? No bill of sale? Sounds like he was planning to resell it and realized he can’t make money on it. It will be curious to see what his next step is. If he sends you a letter, he’s preparing to sue you.

Considering what attorneys cost, I can’t see how a lawsuit would be financially viable unless we are talking hemi car money.

No bill of sale... so he stole the car...

I doubt it's enforced, but in Arizona any out of state vehicle transaction must have a notarized bill of sale. I insist on it and quote the law. It is just a good thing to do for both the buyer and seller.

In state transactions are not required a bill of sale between private party.

Pennsylvania still requires a notary between resident buyer/seller. Out of state selling to Pa residents requires a notary. Pa selling out of state is up to the state the vehicle is being sold to.

1. Caveat emptor: This phrase means “let the buyer beware.” It is a warning to buyers that they are responsible for ensuring that the goods or services they purchase are of good quality and fit for purpose. It is often used in cases where a buyer has purchased a defective product.

Every court in the land recognizes that this is implied unless the contract spells out something different.

If it is, I'd offer him a 2" diameter dowel rod with one end rounded a bit and the other end nailed to a square piece of plywood.....he'll know what to do with it.

That doesn't sound like a very comfortable chair.

Not sure about the USA, but down here a handshake is the same as a written contract.

No refunds.

He said Ohio only needs the title signed and not notarized.

At my age 75 and he was as old, back in the day everything was a hand shake deal, considered polite and binding.

When We talked, I said you can bring it back, and if its in the same condition as it left here I would give him his money back less my inconvenience $$$, ONCE I RESELL IT.
He said he will think it over and get back to me.

 

[Basket case]

n Ohio you're supposed to have the title notorized, and when bringing an out of state car into Ohio, you have to take it to a new car dealer or the courthouse have have the vin checked against the title.

You are being too kind.

Yes he said he had to get it verified. But no notary is what he said.

See if this guy will tell ya the actual truth if you wish to continue ANY further chat with him. Let him know A LOT of people are offering guesses and the one with the correct guess will win them a coffee mug. (Got a ton of them, never used, at shows I can send ya; well the ones I haven’t carted to Goodwill yet.)

Sorry, the 4-door BS didn’t fly. Lot’s of good guesses posted. Mine is he found another car he’d prefer to have, maybe for around the same cost he paid for yours. Ya know, like that sweet deal that suddenly popped out of the woodwork. If I win, I’ll just keep one of my mugs sending you the others.
Lol, I'm recalling how this happened to me once; but sucked it up. Not thinking of asking the guy I bought the car from - to take it back. Have to add - on another occasion just about when I was going to buy a car, another popped and for a lower price. Can work both ways.

At least he's rounding one end. Could be sharp pointed or all splintered
