What is the name of your state? California
I bought a car that had a salvage title, the owner told me it was hail damage and has been repainted along with the replacing of the hood and fenders. I sold the car a week later because I was moving across country: the spouse I decided not to keep it.
I type up a paper saying the car was sold as is, also stating that the buyer inspected it and it had a salvage title. The buyer signed both copies; one for each of us. I told the buyer that the car had been repainted and had hail damage as was told to me. I told them before I they drove it that from what I found, it was pulling and may need alignment. I sold it for almost half price of what the retail value was. Three days later they wanted their money back and said their mechanic said the fram was bent due to a collision. I was not aware of this when I sold it. They are taking me to court for repairs of over $3k.
I'm am looking to countersue for travel and lodging expenses If I attend.
Do I have to appear in court if I'm 2000 miles away? Could I write a letter to the judge along w/ the copy of the agreement they signed? What do you think the outcome of the case would be?
