Question

If the seller states the car is in great condition, then the car messes up on me a few days later, can I get a refund or sue?

Community Answer

Yes, you can sue. But you will need proof from a mechanic that the car has been "messed up" since before you purchased it.

Question

If I bought a car with custom rims and the seller removed them, can I ask that they be returned?

Community Answer

It depends on if your contract stated that the rims were staying with the car, so read it thoroughly before you request them back.

Question

If I have the car title in my name, do I have to continue to pay my friend for the car after he asks for more money?

Community Answer

If you have not paid the balance and still owe him money on the vehicle, AND you have a contract, yes. If you have paid the full amount and he is requesting more after that, then no.

Question

What if I purchased a car but I'm not interested in continuing payments, can I get my money back?

Community Answer

No, the money you have paid so far is like rent, you pay while you have/use it. You can look into selling the car and having the buyer take over the lease for the remaining payments.

Question

Can I sue someone for breach of contract?

Community Answer

Yes. If you want to do so, you'll need to hire a lawyer. Keep in mind that lawsuits are costly.

Question

I sold my car to a private party who was to make payments on the car loan. What should I do if the person stopped making payments and I signed the title?

If you signed over the title, the other person is now the owner of the car whether or not payments are made.
