I'm in NV, we got a car from a private seller, and turned out to be a nightmare.
I understand that on private sells, the buyer is pretty much stuck with whatever he bought with pretty little legal recourse.
But I'm wondering if that changes when there's written (txt messages) documentation of misrepresented facts.
The seller claiming before the sale, that the car was a personal car, with no problems, and that the title was under his name (even writing that his name was the one on the title).
Then acknowledging that there was a problem with it (literally like 5 minutes after the sale) but agreeing to fix it, and failing to do so.
So basically my question is, now I know that the car was never on his name, but a car he flipped (and lying about his name), now I know he never registered the car, and it was never his personal car.
I also know and have documented that he made repairs himself on it, so he was aware of the problems.
Is that fraudulent misrepresentation?
Also, I understand, that even in private sales, when there is an agreement that something has to be corrected, the seller has to live up to that right?
Thanks !!
