Legal Question
 

When someone buys a car from someone no matter if its modified or not. Â*Once they sign the title of ownership the previous owner has no connection to that car once the car has been transfered over right? Â*Even if the previous owner was lied too, and the new owner doesnt believe them?

Their were no garuntees...

was it stated that the car was sold as is without a warrenty?

actually, i don't think the title had to be transferred for it to be a legal, binding transaction. as long as the car was sold "as is, where is - with no warranties implied or stated", once the money has changed hands and the vehicle is transported away from the place of purchase, the deal is done.

if that's not the case, then why do so many car dealerships get away with it? "you took possession of the car, it's yours." i'd be interested to see what is in our state's law library - unfortunately, i don't have access to it - to see what is in the statutes, exactly.

I'm completely ignorant of this, however where would the Lemon Laws apply? Only to dealerships? Is there some law that requires owners to provide any evidence of malfunction, and to make every reasonable effort to inform the new owner of problems?

Just throwing that out there.

if this is about the bird you sold unless otherwise stated its an as is sale...but thats why i always write up a contract when i buy/sell cars so everyone knows where they stand...fwiw theres contracts online you can download for free.

as far as i know used and new car dealerships have to garentee to pass state inspection...other then that the "as is" rule applies

I believe this dispute lies (no pun) in the previous owner buying/installing a block he was told was a 4 bolt main, and was advertised as such, and the current owner finding out it's a two bolt main and accusing the previous owner of "lying."

yah i read the other thread...i dont think theres a leg to stand on there...theres another situation(that i wont speak of) between a couple of members on this board where one sold "something" to the other party then the other party broke the "something" and blamed it on party #1 even though party #1 had bought it from someone else & never used the "something"...now in that case it was a used part that was bought as is then sold as is but yet the 3rd party now doesnt want to pay for it even though it wasnt the 2nd parties fault...in both of these cases it doesnt seem like anyone was really lied to in any way...uninformed maybe...but unless the 2nd party went and opened up the motor or "something" how would they know? Retarded to question it otherwise.

Thanks

I've always written a brief contract where both parties sign it.

I'm limited on commenting without specific's.

You SOLD your car AGES ago, I'd be amazed if it was related to that, if it was.... the parties are CRAP!

I think you're covered, there was no talk of any gurantees or carried warranties from when you bought the motor. You also sold it to some one that you knew and would be in contact with, versus some random person you would never see or hear from again, so for them to try to take you to small claims court over this is really low. But like others have mentioned they've done, I also wrote up a small contract when I sold my RS and myself and the buyer signed it, just stating the miles on the car, the date it was sold and that it was sold "as is". It's just a nice way to make sure your ass is covered.

either way....... it broke from abuse, not the fact it was a 2 bolt main........you beat on car, car breaks, you fix and improve......

been that way since the freaking MODEL A......................


what it comes down to is.........

were you the one with your foot held to the floor when it went boom?
