What is the name of your state? HI
I needed to get rid of a car, so we posted an ad on craigslist.com. Our ad stated: “2000 Hyundai Accent $1,000, white, auto, 4D, A/C, low miles, CD player, current registration and safety check, great starter car, need to sell by the end of the month, any questions leave a message.”
The next day we had 9 people interested. One guy was so anxious that he emailed me that he wanted to pick up the car ASAP. We sent text messages to confirm the time and meeting place. Before we met up with him I sent him a email stating the condition of the car. In the email, we stated the car is being sold “as is”, the car’s check engine light is on and we have taken it to two service stations and they can’t determine what is wrong with the car. He later called me to let me know he was on he way to the agreed upon meeting place. I asked him if he got the email and he said he didn’t (which was send to his sidekick). So I told him what the email said and he said the check engine light is on and that it is no problem to him.
We met at the agreed location, I asked him if he wanted to test drive the car and he said no. He didn’t look under the hood of the car and just “looked at” and said he will take it. He signed the “notice of transfer” for the me to send to the DMV and gave me the cash. He sent me a text message 20 minutes later asking if we have problems with car on the freeway because the transmission seems like its slipping. I respond with no we didn’t have problems, because we didn’t.
5 days after the transaction is done he sent me a text message that I sold him a car with a bad transmission. He said my ad did not mention that the transmission was bad and that I said everything works perfectly. He later said he will show proof on what needs to be replaced and its costly and that I didn’t mention it in the ad. He then asked for a refund or partial of the money back for the car because of all these engine problems.
We sent him an email that we cannot refund his money or give him partial money back because we told him in a email that the car is being sold “as is” and the check engine light is on and that didn’t bother you. We also told him that he elected to not test drive the car and that he sign the “notice of transfer” for the title and that has been submitted. He later emailed me stated that we said we serviced the car and it works perfectly fine just the light won’t go off. He said since I said “perfectly fine” that he was assuming nothing was wrong with car. He later stated that when we met with him I said it works “perfectly fine” and doesn’t seem to realize that we sent him an email that this car is being sold “as is”.
Is there a case against me? Can he sue me for the money he paid for the car?What is the name of your state?
