What is the name of your state? Michigan
I recently purchased a 2004 SeaDoo Jet ski advertised as running flawless with cash. After taking it out on the water the first time I noticed it was not running correctly (did not accelerate past 40mph). It's supposed to top out at 80+mph. I called the seller immediately and he was unresponsive that day so I left a message. I took it out of the water and took it to the shop. They ran an entire check on the jet ski and found over $6000 (entire thing cost $7400) worth of engine damage. I have many witnesses that where there at the time of launching the ski. The seller_s story was it ran fine two weeks prior when he used it. I have recently been trying to get a hold of him the last 3 weeks. After calling him on his new cell phone (changed his number without letting me know) he answered not knowing my number and I told him about the damage. I asked if he could contact the original dealer he purchased it from and get the extended warranty added to the machine so we could solve this out of court. At the end of the call he reminded me that it worked two weeks prior to selling it. He said he would call me and let me know at the beginning of next week on Monday. He has not called me since and seems to be ignoring all my calls and letting them go to voicemail. I have not heard from him since. I asked the guys at the shop that the ski had to been run for sometime to cause as much damage as it did to the engine.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention. The seller did not have title to give me at sale. He took cash and said he would send me title about a month and a half later after he paid off the lean with cash I gave him. This was actually written in the agreement we both signed and dated. Don't know if this helps. Just thought I would mention it.
I was wondering what options I have and what are the chances of me getting something positive from this?
Thanks for taking time to help me.
