Am I entitled to get some money back if i bought a car that has major problems and the owner said it was fine?

Tyree Allenbrand: "Very reliable for commute" is a statement of opinion, not of fact, and isn't fraudulent. He told you there was a transmission problem and had even taken it to a mechanic for an estimate. Sounds like he relied on what the mechanic told him, which turned out to be wrong, but isn't fraudulent either.You test drove it. You could have easily confirmed whether it had a stereo! You should also have had it looked over by a mechanic to check out the brakes, etc.On these facts and with your opportunity to check things out for yourself, I would say there's not much you can do here if you sue in court.But you might call him and ask for: the missing stereo, copy of the receipt for the brake job and the name and telephone number of the guy who gave him the $100 estimate. If he balks, maybe you can get him to kick back part of your money.But I wouldn't count on it....Show more

Fred Caminita: Yes you can call the person and let them know what has happened i! n the last four days and also tell them that if they don't make it right you will take them to court and sue them for the price of the car the damages and lost time from work you have.If you do have to go to court over this also include lawyer fees and court cost to the bill.This I hate to say is provided you did not sign anything saying you bought this car as is.If you bought it from a dealer turn them in to the BBB in your area....Show more

Barton Sease: All you can do is ask for your money back...LOLother than that you can just take him to civil court and sue him...

Raymon Fiene: Did you write a check? Call your bank and try to stop payment on it NOW. It will cost you to do that, but it would be worth it if the check has not cleared yet. Did you sign a bill of sale that states anything like "sold as is"? If you did, you most likely have no chance of getting anything back. Contact a lawyer that will give you a free initial consultation.

Kenneth Thuesen! : Caveat emptor.....

Marvella Benward: It doesn't even r! emotely matter what he SAID, since it's virtually impossible to prove in court. What matters is the language used on the bill of sale, and I just assume the bill of sale was written up saying "sold as is, where is".You could try taking him to small claims court. Any other remedy will likely cost you more money than you'll lose on the lemon car....Show more
