help help Used car sale (breach of contract)help help help

[cato85]

I am in california.
i sold a used car to a person and they are coming back 10 days later saying i had breached contract they understood under the bill of sale that the vehicle had no warantee and was sold in an as-is condition they under stood there was an oil leak and that there was more work to be done to the car. the vehicle they purchased had 387,000 miles. i told the new owners that eventhough i had no paper proving it the previous owner had the engine rebuilt and so fourth i had purchased the car from an elderly gentleman at lease in his mid 80's. so now the new owners are saying that they want to bring her friend the DA down on me and sue me for the car. My bill of sale stated that the car has no warantee either expressed or implied and in an as-is condition, that the total payment and down payment were non-refundable and that the vehicle may or may not conform to california state vehicle code/regulations. also, the new owner voiced that they wanted to take it to their mechanic and have it inspected i said that fine all i'll need is a release of liability and you can take it to him they never acted on this. when they drove the car for over 30 mins on a test drive they noted that is had problems and i agreed. 1 week later they came signed papers and drove off with the car. i want to know if she really has a case or not and what i can do.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Beyond that, tell them to pound sound.

Yes - the report of inspection is fine.
Tell the buyer to:

1: Enjoy his new car
2: Pound sand
3: Bite rocks


(Or any combination of the above!)
