tow yard sells me a improperly liened vehicle
I purchased a 1992 camaro from a tow company by answering an ad in the auto trader for $900.00 I took out the motor that was in it as it had a main rod bearing problem and I put a high performance new motor in it. I went to the dmv to register/transfer title, etc and the lady tells me that they had no right to sell me that car as it was owned by military personnel and they could not be notified properly of the lien sale if they wanted to opose the sale therefore I was to return the car back to the towing company (she commented,”they should know this”)and get my money back. Unless they preceded to redo the lien and got proof from the commanding officer to the registered oner, showing proof of service for the lien sale. In reveiwing my paper work, noticed that on the bill of sale the gut wrote ”Scrap Only” and a purchase price of $50.00 yet on my carbon copy receipt from the tow company’s recept book it states ”as is” and shows that I paid $900.00 cash. I’ve got money and time into this vehicle and am very disappointed what should I do?

Legal Question About Car Purchase
I bought a car from a private party for $1,400 and within one week it completely broke down. In addition to the $1,400 I paid over $200 to have the title transferred and to have it towed after it stopped running. Now the seller says he will fix it for another $300 but can not gaurantee it will run and that he might ”need” more money for repairs. I have a bill of sale and want a refund of some if not all the money plus the extra $200 I’ve spent. I just want to know if I have any legal rights if he refuses to refund. He has admitted the problem with the car was present before he sold it to me. Thank you for your time.
