What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OKlahoma
I bought a truck (my BF picked it out etc..) The truck had hi miles on it but it had a rebuilt jasper motor with a 1 year warranty so the miles didnt worry him too much, AFter 1 month the transmission went out. We took it to the guy we bought it from he paid the parts we paid the labor and it was done. Should mention it was an 8 hour drive to take it back to him. One month later we were pulling the trailer from Iowa to Ok moving and the truck broke down. Took it to the shop who is a jasper dealer. He said that the shop who put the motor in didnt put the pistons in right and that in turn caused damage to the motor that cannot be fixed. Said it is an issue of workmanship. But that the motor warranty wont cover because the shop didnt use new parts like injectors etc... So basicly the guy sold us a truck based on the fact that he put used parts in a new motor and what his shop did caused the break down. I think this is mis representation and he should buy the truck back from me or put a new motor in the truck. besides that I have been unable to transfer title on this truck because he has it all mucked up. He said mail him the title he will transfer it. I am hesitant to send him the title though I do have a bill of sale. Im also leery because he wants it in my name so bad it makes me think there is some catch that makes him more likely to have to rectify this because the title isnt in order. I am getting ready to call a lawyer but just wondered what everyont thinks or if you have had similar situations or what. Meanwhile I havent had my truck fro almost 2 months, A new motor will cost $7000 I paid $13500 for the truck and now its basicly worth nothing. Im making payments on a truck I dont have that is worth nothing and now my other truck is breaking down and I dont have the new truck to drive and cant get the money to fix my old truck because of pending repairs on this truck etc..... grrr.....
