”as is” private party car sale fiasco
I live in CA and the buyer of my car lives in CO. He flew out, I showed him the car revealing everything about it to the very best of my knowledge. He signed a Bill of Sale clearly stating ”as is no warrenties expressed or implied.” He drove the car for close to two days then ran it out of oil blowing the engine. He had the car towed to his home and stopped payment on the check. He wants to renegotiate a ”fair price” since he thinks it isn’t worth the amount he bought it for. He has mechanics claiming the interior of the engine was rusty and it never had oil (not true since I filled it and the gauge read full at the time of the sale). I found out I will have to go to CO to file a small claims suit and I want to know if he is obligated to pay me because the sale is ”as is”. He has my car and my money. What are my legal rights in this matter?
