HE SENT DOWN A MAN WITH A TRAILER AND THE CASHIERS CHECK , THE MAN INSPECTED THE CAR AND CALLED THE BUYER TO TELL HIM OF HID FINDING. I RECEIVED THE CAHIERS CHECK ON FRIDAY EVE. THAT NEZT EVENING THE BUYER CALLS ME AND SAYS THE SHOCKS ARE WORN AND THE INT IS SHOT. AS I SPOKE WITH HIM . HE TOOK THE SEAT COVERS OFF TO FIND MINT SEATS, THEN HE SAYS THE PAINT IS NO GOOD, ! AS I TOLD HIM THE PAINT WAS 12 YRS OLD AND WAS A DRIVER PAINT NOT SHOW, HE WANTED TO HAVE A BODY MAN LOOK AT IT . NEXT DAY HE CALLS AND SAID THE BODY MAN WANTS 3500.00 TO PAINT? HE NOW TELLS ME THAT HE WILL CANCELL THE CASHIERS CHECK. IF I DO NOT RETURN 1500.00 TO HIM.. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO AGREE , IF I DID NOT I WOULD PROB. LOOSE MY CAR AND THE FUNDS>WELL I DECEIDED TO SEND THE TITLE AFTER THE CHECK CLEARED BUT FELT THE 1500.00 WAS NOT PROPER TO SEND HIM, AS THE SALE WAS FINAL WHEN HE MAN TOOK THE CAR, THE BUYER NOW HAS CALLED ME AND SAID HE RECEIVED THE TITLE AND WILL SUE ME IN ALABAMA FOR THEFT BY DECEPTION!IF I DO NOT SEND THE $ HE HAS THE TITLE AND CK HAS CLEARED. EVERY TIME HE CALLS HE HAS FOUND SOME THING ELSE ON THE CAR.IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS SINCE THE CAR LEFT HERE. ITS 35 YRS OLD !! AND UNDER 12K. TODAY ITS SOME RUST UNDER THE DOOR , WHAT DO I DO? THANKS MIKE

 

I seek legal help. I'd rather shell out 100-200 bucks and still have 1300 left over and have piece of mind.

 

I'd get a lawyer without a doubt. :yesnod:

But will all sales final, I doubt he has much of a case. You are an individual, not a dealer so I can't see how you are liable for deformation. He must prove you went out of your way to decieve. In most cases it's "Buyer Beware". He sent a guy down to inspect the car, that right there is your case. If anything was out of order (which it wasn't) that man should have found it, if not that's his problem not yours.

P.S. PLEASE turn the caps off in the future, the posts are hard to read. :thumbs:

:iagree:

 

Chill out! :chill: All sales are final as-is-where-is (even in Alabama). He's just working you. Either ignore him or tell him to ship back the car in the exact condition as when it left (at his expense of course) for a refund then you call him up and nickel and dime him on the stuff he's already done to it. Or get a lyer I mean lawyer :)

Either way it's not your fault like he's trying to make it seem. He could have come up to see it, he didn't have to buy it sight unseen.

 

I would do nothing!!!! I would not send back any money, accept his calls or reply to his threats. Sounds like you represented the car honestly, the hauler inspected the car and I assume there were no warranties expressed or implied. This guy doesn't have a leg to stand on and the old saying applies "Buyer Beware"

 

Chill out is right! You sold the car and honestly represented it, if he doesn't like what he bought then it's his problem. Don't send him any money.

 

guy sound like a crook to me and i bet he has done this before....

 

Well, first off he sounds like he is scamming you.
Second, it was an "as is" sale, so tough :bs to him.
Third, cash the check as fast as you can, put it into an account and don't look back. If you sold him a car in a fair deal, then you shouldn't sweat it.

Keep a copy - printed - of your on-line sale. That way if the wording of the sale comes into question, you will have proof.

If he continues to harass, let him know that you will seek legal recourse for harassment. Tell him if he doesn't like it then he can sell it. Don't offer for him to return it, he could damage the engine or trans in revenge and then bring it back.

 

Don't send him a dime. Let me guess this guy is an attorney.
1. He sends a guy to check it out (his agent NOT yours) he agrees, gets the car and then wants money back No judge is going to find you deceived him.
2. What the heck is theft by deception? If its theft, the district attorney handles it (the DA in YOUR county, not his.)
3. Furthermore, the sale took place in Florida (correct?) I can't believe he can sue you in small claims in Alabama just because he happens to live there!!! Imagine if he could. People could purchase something from someone in another state and then make them fly across the country to face a lawsuit.
4. The most convincing evidence- if he could have done something, he would have.
5. Tell him to get a life. Spend the money on a Vette and be happy :lol:

 

:iagree: with all the above. That Mother efer is S.O.L (sh.t out of luck), is trying to bluff you and is abviously smoking crack. Tell him to take a long walk off a short cliff. Don't give him one red cent, and IF he makes it into court enjoy the show cause the judge is gonna pee in his paints from laughing so hard.

 

:iagree:

 

you dont need to pay him anything. you agreed on a price,he had someone
inspect the car for him any price renagotaion should of been done at that time. he baught a car as is, paid for it and got the car and title. if he tries to sue you it will have to be in your county,so no wories for you to travel. court takes place where deception takes place(you reciving the money and them taking posetion of car in your county). Its not your fault he thinks he paid too much, he should of looked at the car himself

 

Mike
You are fine don't worry about anything. This guy don't have a leg in court.

Bob

 

:yesnod: Sounds like a definite scam to me, Get a lawyer

 

:iagree:

 

I would seek out a florida lawyer. The buyer had the car inspected BEFORE he paid and only after he got it back to his location he seems to find all this problems. Get a lawyer and inform the buyer your doing this and that you have no intention of returning any further monies. I feel this guy is just trying to bleed you on the price. He had it inspected BEFORE the sale? this is as much a scam as i have ever seen. :yesnod:

I'd cash the check immediately.

- Cash the check IMMEDIATELY
- DON'T send ANY $$$ back
- Tell him "goodby"

If he tries to sue you, he is quite liable to end up paying YOU...
