What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
Last week I purchased a car from a personal seller in the amount of $4500. The owner swore it was in good condition. He just got it inspected and recently paid taxes on the car so told the tag place it was a gift so that I didnt have to pay taxes twice. Therefore, I just had to pay for title, tag, and insurance, totally $675. Three days later the check engine light comes on. I get it checked out and find that there is a transmission problem with the torque converter. The pricing for this problem is around $3500 and I am devasted. I am a 24yr old single mother who just had a brand new baby 2months ago, therefore is not working. I took out a loan to buy the car. I definitely do not have $8675 to spend in one week for a car or I would have bought it off a lot. Furthermore, the car is not worth that much in excellent condition. Due I have legal rights to my money back?
