2008 I purchased a new GM truck in Washington State. Months later their speed shop W/I the dealership added a lift kit & a few other items. At that time I ask to assure that these modification would not effect my Original & or Extended Warranty. They stated that it would not null or void any part of the Warranty since the work was completed by the GM Dealership. I resently moved to California & had a need to take the truck into the local GM Dealership – only to find out that IAW GM Service Policies & Procedures Manual Article 5.1.1 If dealer modified new motor vehicle, or installs any equipment not supplied by GM, the dealer will disclose this fact on the purchase order & bill of sale (Never happened). Warranty does not cover damages as a result of any alteration, modification. Warranty will not cover installation of non GM parts. Now I have an Original Warranty with 90K miles left on it, plus an Extended Warranty & apparently I’m left out to dry?

Sold car, now new owner wants refund!
My husband and I listed and subsequently sold our vehicle privately using craigslist.org. We were 100% honest in our disclosures about this vehicle. It is 10 years old, it has had the transmission worked on in the past, it has 102,000 miles on it etc. Someone came out, looked at the car, test drove it, and offered to pay us $1,500 less than we advertised it as, for a total of $2,550. We accepted the offer, signed a bill of sale, submitted a DMV transfer of liability, paid off the car & transferred the title to the new owner. The new owner is now saying that the transmission is slipping between gears and we knowingly sold him a ”lemon,” & wants us to pay for repairs or a refund. We sold this car in good faith, provided him with the receipt for previous repairs done on the car, disclosed all information about it, plus accepted less money for it, and applied no pressure to buy. The new owner now wants to sue us, does he have a legitimate case against us?

Sold As Is, but still need to smog vehicle.
I sold a vehicle as is, written onto the bill of sale and initialed by the buyer. I explained any issues I knew about vehicle (my childs car, I do not drive it). It has not been to a shop for diagnosis. I told them I know nothing about cars and to have it checked by a mechanic prior to purchase. He took it for a test drive. It needs an airflow sensor and the check engine light was on. It was on when we bought it only 6 mos ago. Dealer said it was fixed, smogged but wouldn’t clear. Neither one of us knew I needed to smog it first. The items that needed to be fixed were why we told them we would take 700 off the sale, so that they could get them fixed because these were the items needed to fix to pass smog. There was no written agreement about this issue. They took it in & it came up with a lot of codes which MAY mean a new transmission or a computer problem. They want money back. I now know I have to smog it, but I’ve already signed over the title to them. I can’t take it to a shop or do anything about it because I no longer own it. Do they have a case to get their money back? They do not want to keep it & probably won’t agree to take it to a shop just for my smog repairs that I will pay for. Can they sue? How do I get it smogged?
