A person purchases a used vehicle with no warranty from a private party. On the way home, the check engine light comes on. Can the buyer demand a refund from the seller?

 

[KLin]

no

 

[Stretchman]

I believe so, but the buyer can dispute if the terms of sale were not written down.

 

[daveymark]

so if the terms of sale say, "this vehicle is purchased as is" , does the buyer have any recourse? I thought there was some sort of 3 day law where the buyer can return the vehicle?

No.

can anyone confirm this

 

[sniperruff]

depends on what it says on your bill of sales.

 

[daveymark]

so if the bill of sale says:

BILL OF SALE - USED AUTOMOBILE



BUYER _______________________________________________


SELLER ______________________________________________


DATE OF SALE ________________________________________


PLACE OF SALE _______________________________________


VEHICLE SOLD _______________________________________


VIN _______________________________________



PRICE PAID $ _________________ PAID IN FULL!


VEHICLE SOLD AS IS. NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER.


SIGNATURE OF BUYER ____________________________________



SIGNATURE OF SELLER _____________________________________



THIS VEHICLE NOW BELONGS TO THE BUYER!

correct.

Don't be a jerk. Tell the potential buyer about the problem that you are trying to hide.

"as is" does not relieve the seller of the burden of disclosing known faults.

how would I go about proving the seller knew about the fault? The seller denies knowing anything
