What is the name of your state? VA
I purchased a vehicle from a private party on Thursday. The seller stated to me and my son that the car was in excellent condition with no mechanical defects or problems and was only being sold due to a pending divorce. My son drove it the next day less than 50 miles and it started to experience problems, so he parked it and we towed it to a dealership. The dealer states that the car's engine is blown and the former owner knew or should've known of it's condition. The owner states that he's "sorry for our luck." The title was never transferred because I had to pick up my son and make arrangements for the car to be towed. Any recourse?What is the name of your state?
