Contract for sale of car
The contract states I agree to buy my sisters car ($23,000) for $1200 down and $400/mo X 36mo and she agrees to buy my car($7500) (to be subtracted from the price of her car) leaving her with no payment. The contract includes agreement to each drive our original cars until delivery of her title. We thought her estranged husband needed to sign off . Unfortunately, only 1 signature was needed, so he sold her car. The new owner titled and took possession of the car. My contract is notarized and precedes his sale by several weeks. I have already paid her a total of $1600. Does my contract/bill of sale entitle me to the car? If so, can I ”repossess” and then file suit, or do I file first and risk them hiding the car?

Paid for a car but Bill of sales states you did not pay.
Paid for a car but Bill of sales states you did not pay.
I bought and paid for a car with cash. Had a lot going on that day I did not notice that the bill of sales state I owe a balance instead of saying I paid for it. Less than 24 hrs later car stop working. tried to contact the dealer he told me he can’t do nothing for me however he had told me before I signed the paper work that I have 3 days to return the car if anything other than the water pump is wrong with the car. The car has been sitting in my drive way for over 2 months due to me not being able to fix the car. So I bought a car and never drove the car. I understand that was stupid of me for not checking. I received the Title to the car 3 weeks later. Now he’s trying to suit me to get pay again. I don’t have any other proof that I paid him other than the title that I have received for the car. What are my changes of winning this case and do I need a lawyer. Thanks

Seller of vehicle has stolen it back
Two years ago I bought a truck from private party. An 18 month payment contract was signed by both parties. By August 98 all payments were made. Seller will not take vehicle out of her name or sign over pink slip. During payment period she stole truck back twice and friend of mine took it back from her both times. She has “sold” truck before and done same thing. Two weeks ago she stole it again and since she moved out of town I cannot locate her or truck. I have signed contract and signed receipts for all payments. The first time she stole it and I got it back she called police and they said it was civil matter. I also called police and told them story and have a record of incident on file. She is separated from her husband who also has name of vehicle. She forged his name when signing bill of sale. I do know his phone number and location of his residence, tho not address. Have not spoken to him. During signing of receipts and contract she signed her name many different ways, I assume to deny signature.

ATV Title Being Held by Seller
We bought an ATV from a man that still owed the bank money for it. He was to pay off the bank, and then give us the title. We have a bill of sale as follows: ”I (seller) certify that I am the lawful owner of this vehicle (description) & have the authority to sell it. I do hereby grant, sell and transfer full ownership to the buyer. I certify this vehicle is free from all encumbrances and liens except those specified on the title or listed below; and that I (seller) will be held fully responsible for such lawful claims and demands with respect to the vehicle, if any. If applicable, Seller agrees to make arrangements for the reasonable delivery of vehicle title from lien holder to buyer immediately.” Then a line was added that says ”upon release of title from lien holder.” Is there anything we can do to get this title? Do we have any recourse at all? Is there anything we can threaten him with? We want the ATV.
Asking for Recission of a used car sale I purchased a used car.
Asking for Recission of a used car sale
I purchased a used car. When I asked about what looked like a leak in the back window area I was told that the window was fixed and did not leak.
6 days later after a rainstorm, I found that the rear window does leak and water runs into the trunk. I contacted the seller, he claims no knowledge of the leak and told me that it’s too bad and that it’s a used car.
I ended up filing a small claims action against him.
1.) The response from their attorney is that I acted in poor judgement by naming the wife as a defendant and I have no basis in law to name her as a defendant . He stated that it is harassement. I said that I have every legal right to name the wife as a defendant since she legally transferred title. Am I justified in naming the wife as a defendant ?
2.) The bill of sale that the defendants made out does not include the wording “AS IS”, I feel that since they did not put the wording “AS IS” in the bill of sale that I can interpret that as an implied warranty of fitness based upon the fact that the husband told me the window does not leak. Is this a valid point to bring up in the mediation process?
