UNDISCLOSED Frame & Unibody damage
Purchased a used car in GA this week & live in AL. Dealer did not disclose the ”frame damamge” & ”unibody damamge” & even told me to go to the Lexus dealership to get worn rotors replaced since still under factory warranty. ”as is” marked on bill of sale. I found out this info using Autochack. Carfax did not disclose details. Can I make them buy car back? How long do I have?

Dispute with Car Dealership
My husband and I bought a used truck almost 1 month ago and gave a $2000 CASH down payment, we were told that our bill of sale was our reciept. Now 1 month later they are telling us that they never recieved the down payment and if we don’t give them another $2000 they will hold our title and tags and wait for the bank to repo it. What are my rights?
bought a car – car is leased! I just bought a used car from a private party.
bought a car – car is leased!
I just bought a used car from a private party. We did a bill of sale, she took my cashiers check, paid off the car, and when the title came to her, I find out it was a lease (which she paid off the purchase of the car), but the title is in VW’s name not her name, now she has to re-title car in her name then she can sign the title over to me (now in progress). I have 2 questions: one, since she sold me a car she didn’t own, what are my rights here? I have possession of the car, but it’s not in my name and wont be for another 10 days at least and DMV told her and me that she had no legal basis to sell this car to me so I feel like I am hanging out in the wind legally here. Two, if I get stopped by police while I am in this limbo situation, am I screwed? Should I not drive it at all? Can I sue the idiot for selling me a car she didn’t own? I am very frustrated by this whole experience and wish I had thought to ask that simple question about a month ago!!!

Bought a misrepresented used car in a private sale
Less than a month ago I bought a used car. The car seemed to drive fine, and the owner said that he had not had any problems with it and that it had a clean carfax. Based on this information I put a $500 down payment on the car. Later that week I ran a carfax report myself and found that the car had frame damage reported a few years ago.
I went back to the seller and told him that he misrepresented the car and I wanted to back out of the sale. He told me that he had already spent the down payment and wouldnt let me back out. He told me that carfax was wrong and that if frame damage was reported on the car it would have a rebuilt or salvaged title (which it didn’t). I ended up buying the car for $6,000, half because I because the seller said there wasnt any frame damage, half because he wouldnt let me back out of the sale. The seller made me sign an ”as is” paper. I had the seller sign a bill of sale that stated ”Seller is not aware of any major mechanical problems with the vehicle.”
I had a mechanic look the car over last week, and he found severe frame damage (bent and cracked in various places) and said that the car wouldn’t pass inspection. Do I have any legal recourse? What are my options? Who do I go to? Thanks!!

Refund Demand
On 7-5-04 I sold a car that needed work on it. I told them what the machnic told me was wrong. On the bill of sale I stated the problem and was selling it as is. They agreed and purchase the car and we transfered the title.On 7-9-04 I get a call that they want thier money back. I was very clear with what I new about the car and they accepted it. I am not a car dealer. Legally do I have to return the money to them? Thanks A.K.
