Resolved Question: I sold my car last weekend, now the guy wants his money back…?
I have read all the other questions like this and I get the same answer just about every time. But I am just being extra cautious.
I sold a 1995 Saturn SC1 last week to this guy. We negotiated a price of $775 because it needed a new radiator and a tune-up. I made sure he knew that my husband drove this car to his job everyday without problems. That the radiator needed to be changed before driving it a long way. He said ok and we made the transaction. I wrote on the biil of sale “Car is sold AS-IS” He signed the title and went and registered it. Now (a week later) he comes knocking on my door saying “We got problems.” He said he took it to a local dealership that checked it out and the mechanic says the rings are bad. He says he wants his money back or me to pay for the repairs. I told him I would check it out and get back to him. I researched it online and found that the lemon laws here in Georgia only apply to dealers and new cars. I, also found that private party sales are not mentioned in the law. I printed out the page from the GOVERNMENT website stating the law and took it to him. He says that there is another law regarding used cars. I have checked it out and found nothing. He informs me that he has an attorney on retainer and he will be contacting him tomorrow about this. I know I told him the car needs repairs and that my husband drove it with no problems. He drove it everyday! The guy test-drove the car and checked the oil and looked the car over really good and still took it home. Does he have the right to demand his money back or take me to court? Or does what I wrote on the bill of sale stand AS-IS?
