What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hi,
So I had an ad on craigslist to sell a set of rims that came off my 2004 Ford F150, so they are used rims. The interested person contacted me by text asking about them. One of their questions was would the lug nut pattern on the rims I have fit on their vehicle which was a GMC Sierra, but did not tell me what year it was. So I did a little research online and saw that they would work on specific model year Sierras. So i said that yes they would probably fit. We then agreed on a price, $600 and met the following day. They looked at them, paid me for it and we went our seperate ways with no paperwork being done at all. They did not try to put them on their truck at this time to make sure they would fit. So the next day I get a text from the buyer saying that the lug nut pattern does not fit on their truck.
So my question is, am I legally obligated to give them their money back and take the rims back because they do not fit on their truck when I said they probably would in previous texts? Even though they did not give me enough information (year of the truck) to verify 100% that they would fit and I did not ask for the model year. Or are they stuck with them because there was no contract made and sold as is (although it does not say "as is" in my craigslist ad at all) and they did not verify at the time of sale that they fit on their truck. And if i refuse to give their money back and they take me to court, do they have a case at all?
