My family recently sold a car of a loved one that had passed away. The buyer came with his sister and his girlfriend to look at the car. They said he just got his license so he is eagerly looking for a car. They looked it over and his girlfriend and him took it for a test drive. I politely let them know that I had other people coming to look at the car and that I wasn't going to hold it for them unless he was serious about buying. He said it is a great car and rides good so he didn't want to pass it up. They asked if we could have it inspected since it ran out at the end of the month so I politely said yes since I knew the car would pass because it is in good condition for a 11 year old car with low miles. Two days later we meet up to transfer the car. He brought his sister and her boyfriend along with him to assist in looking the car over yet again. The buyer showed up to the notary without insurance and asked if he could take it home without it (NO) or if they could use a plate off of a car they still have insured but no longer use. The sale went through just fine and the buyers didn't contact us until 30 days after the sale claiming there were 3 things wrong with the car and that it shouldn't have been inspected. They demanded money back right away! Within a day or two they managed to claim more and more things wrong with the car and demanded the money back for the car, title, transfer fees, taxes (they are requesting 3k). They filed a suit against us (the private sellers) and the mechanic that inspected it prior to sale. The car was in good running condition prior to the sale. We never gave them a warranty or promised that the car was in perfect condition. a lot of the other details regarding the buyer just aren't adding up- very sketchy! WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?!?!
