Hello,
I advertised my car for sale on the internet and disclosed all known issues that I had with the car. Along with pictures I also uploaded a youtube video with a summary as well and close up video of the car running so viewers can hear the car running.
I met with the buyer and sold the car. We both signed a bill of sale stating that the car was sold in 'as is' condition with no expressed or implied warranties. Now the buyer called me the next day stating that the motor has low compression in 2 cylinders and the motor needs a rebuild. He threatened a lawsuit. Does the buyer have any legal recourse? It also had possible problems passing emissions that I also pointed out but I gave the buyer a catalytic converter in case of issue.
I've met several people who owns the same model car just days prior to the sale and I asked them if they thought my car sounded bad or wrong. Their reply was "no." I don't know how the car was driven after it left my presence but it ran fine at idle and while driving.
Here's the actual information from the bill of sale we both signed:
