Great Condition
Posted on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 in construction equipment
I bought a car and the engine blew after the private seller told me it was in great condition what do i do?
Ok I got a car from a friend for 1500 he told me the car was in great condition and nothing was wrong with it. Well I got the car and about a week or even earlier I went to get it registered and on my way there the engine completley blew. And the seller won't give us our money back.
Well, I've been told that here in my state it's "buyer beware" when you buy from a private party.
Problem is that maybe the car was actually fine before. It could be a coincidence...
In the future, you can buy from a dealer. Then the dealer has certain guidelines and laws to abide by. If you had bought from a dealer, you would probably be able to work something out. Not sure you will be able to do much about this situation with your "friend" now. You may be able to find someone who can fix the car for as little as possible; then you can just "drive it 'til it drops" - that would probably be the most practical thing to do.
Another thing to consider is that you did choose this option. A used car from a friend never comes with a guarantee. It will probably save you alot of energy if you just make do with this car for awhile and let the rest go.
Sorry you lost $$!!!
Good luck to you!
