I recently purchased a motorcycle from an acquaintance. I paid in cash and went with his word that it was in good condition as it seemed to run fine on the test drive. However, now that I've had it for a bit longer, it has come into major problems and I haven't even burned a single tank of gas. It is extremely unlikely that he didn't know about these problems and I think he falsely advertised. I asked for a refund but he refused basically saying that I should have known he would try to screw me on the deal. I know I don't have a case for proving that he knew there was something wrong with it, all my evidence is circumstantial. However, he told me after the purchase that when he bought it he lied on the title change form. He claimed that he was related to the previous owner to avoid the title ad valorem tax. Since this is title fraud, can I sue based on the fact that he doesn't have a legitimate title? All I want is my money back, which I think is fair. I live in Georgia
