I don't know what forum this should be in so (please help)...
What is the name of your state? New Jersey
I have recently sold a car on ebay for $7K. The car is 9 years old and has about $12,000 invested in modifications (350hp race/street car).
I expressed in the auction every modification and every problem (that i knew of). And included 10K in receipts of the work done and even added a bunch of extra things for free (500 dollar value).
The auction clearly stated "as is" and "no warranty" and "come inspect the car before end of auction if u like".
They actually came and picked up the car (not shipped) and paid with a cashier's check (i think the kids dad who picked up is a mechanic). I drove the car up to their tow (no problems) and they towed it home (becuase of blown sensor i told them not to drive it...stated in auction) after i explained everything about the car and showed them inside and out. Their son, 17, drove it and i don't know how gentle he was (eager to drive a race car).
IMPORTANT PART:
They called me a week later saying that the car blew the transmission (won't turn anymore) and that they are going to sue me if i don't pay for the whole repair (Like 2000 dollars or something). The tranny worked perfectly when i drove it and they witnessed that. They were also free to inspect it before giving me the check.
I AM LIABLE IN NEW JERSEY??
They are going to sue me and i'm very unsettled. I need some advice.
