What is the name of your state? North Carolina
Does NC have an "As is" law?
I bought a used car from a private individual. The add stated the vehicle had a new clutch and ran great. On my way home with this car the clutch went out, and I had to have it towed to a shop the next day. I paid $595.00 for a new clutch.
The people I bought it from said the clutch was under warranty and I would need to take it back to the store to get another one. Well, I didn't need another one since I'd already paid for a new one. Subsequently, it went to court and I won my judgement stating that they made an "Implied Warranty" when they placed the ad.
They filed an appeal, which is going to be heard on Aug. 1st, stating that NC has an "As is" law when it comes to buying a used vehicle from a private individual. I have been unable to find any such law or statue. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any input.
