On 8/22/09 I went to a used car lot in Lancaster Ohio called Instant Auto Sales LLC. The owner of the lot ordered us a car from OVE.com. We have a “bill of sale” for the purchase price that we agreed upon for this vehicle. We were told that the car would be shipped to the Instant Auto Sales lot and that when it came in, we could pick it up and finish all the paperwork. Now the owner of the lot is avoiding our calls, not returning messages, and has the vehicle listed on his website for sale at a higher price. Do we have any legal footing to go after this company to get this car for the agreed upon price?

I bought a ATV vehicle on Craigslist. The seller didn’t have the title at hand but signed a Bill of sale and told us that the ATV has no Lein. We went to the DMV and they cannot issue duplicate of title because there is a lein on the vehicle. The seller fled and is no longer at the resident. I found her number and contacted her. I also have emails from her about this. She is unwilling to help or refund the cash. She rudely just doesnt care. She got $3500 from us. Is there anything we can do? This was sold on a Internet classified ad and paid for with cash.

Car Sale in California
I sold a car in AS IS condition and I even wrote on the Bill of sale that the car is sold as is including California Emmisions (smog) for the car. The buyer is now saying the car is not able to be smogged and wants his money back. Do I have to give back his money even if he knew it was as is condition and not registered or smogged with the Emmissions as as is directly pointed out in the sales agreement?
