Private Automobile Purchase
My husband works with a man whose father passed away and his mother was selling the family vehicle. He was told it is a really good car. We went to look at it to purchase for our college age son to drive to work this summer. We told her why we were buying it and that we knew her son and daughter in law. She verbally guaranteed the vehicle. We could not drive it to have it checked out because there was no insurance or registration on it. We were buying on trust. The vehicles frame, brake line and gas line are shot. She wrote the bill of sale as is and said too bad. Do we have a case for small claims court?

Vehicle Rights
I purchased a motorcycle, bill of sale to me, title in my name. My ex boyfriend’s family is storing the motorcycle due to he is in jail and I was unable to move the bike when I relocated. I am now requesting the motocycle and they are indicating I need his permission because he asked them to hold the bike and they were under the impression he owned it. I explained to them he doesn’t, I do and I want to sell the bike now. I did purchase it for us to ride and for him to teach me but we are no longer together. He will claim it was a gift but it was not.
Purchased Car, previous owner did not register in his name.
Purchased Car, previous owner did not register in his name.
I have just purchased a vehicle but the previous owner failed to register the car in his name. I attempted to register the car but could not due to the fact that the title was not actually in his name. The previous owner of the vehicle is deceased, and the previous owner does not want to pay to have it transferred since i bought it. I do have the title transfer TAX form that we both signed as a mutual agreement/bill of sale. Is this sufficient?
My concern is A: how can i obtain a title? b: Is he able to take the car from me, or report it stolen?
Is there anything i can do about this.
Is Bill of Sale I gave my evil ex enforceable?
Is Bill of Sale I gave my evil ex enforceable?
In April 2004 I bought a car to give to my boyfriend who cannot qualify for a car loan (cuz I’m stupid; okay he had a bad car accident, almost died, lost his job and I regretfully offered to help). In June 2005, I paid off the car loan in full. I gave him a signed Bill of Sale the terms of which he gets the car, I get zero money (cuz I have loogies for a brain). The next day we broke up because I received a surprise phone call from his girlfriend of 10 years. He was cheating on her and I didn’t know he was juggling his time between me and her. The deceitful jerk now wants title to the car. Does he have grounds to force me to give him the car for free because of the Bill of Sale I signed? That would be so wrong and unjust if I have to suffer TWICE in the hands of a scammer con man!!! Is this just going to be a lesson learned?
Potential liability after auto buyer fails to transfer title.
Potential liability after auto buyer fails to transfer title.
If I sell a car and the buyer fails to transfer the title and yet drives the car (for weeks) and causes a wreck could I be held liable since the car is still titled in my name. Presume that the buyer also has no liability insurance and I cancelled mine when he drove off with the title in his hand. If this is the case, what is the solution? Should I, the seller, insist upon transferring the title myself? Will a dated bill of sale protect me? Thanks for your advice.
