Return of Used Car Sold
I sold a car, with a bill of sale, on a Saturday. The buyer gave me a check and asked if I would wait until Tuesday to cash it due to him having to transfer money. At the point of him buying the car, I had another gentleman waiting to test drive it who was very interested in buying it. The first gentleman decided he wanted it before I could sell it to another. On Tuesday, when I returned home from my nieces funeral, I found the car parked in front of my apartment. Upon calling the buyer, I was told that they had taken the car to the mechanic on Monday and he said it would be better not to buy the car and that by Washington State law they have 3 business days to return the car. I feel that his ploy to have me wait to cash the check until he could transfer the money was just a stall tactic to be able to have his mechanic look at the car. In this case, he should have placed a deposit so that I would not sell it to another, instead of signing a bill of sale and had it fully checked out. Since he signed a bill of sale and I cashed the check already (before learning he did not want the car) am I liable to return the money and take back the car?
