ok, i finally sold my Beater to the previous owner [ 240sxkatae ] yesterday. I didnt have the title so i wrote up a bill of sale. has buyer/seller and drivers license #, date, VIN #, make and model, and i made sure to include on the bottom "Sold as is" W/e dude gave me a check fine. He sat in my yard, in the car for a good 10 minutes doing what ever with the car and he left. As soon as he left i went to the bank to cash the check (my insurance purposes), the check bounced. Insufficent funds. His mothers account. I call him back immediatly and he tells me "oh i thought my mom would have had the money in the bank... i can have the money by tomorrow". w/e still goin with it, i call him this mourning for the money. He explains to me that he crashed into a pole because the breaks didnt work and the throttle got stuck ( i would think hitting the clutch would solve that ). None of this has happened to me, and i have been driving the car since he sold it to me. I still ask him for the money, and his girlfriend or mom gets on the line and starts chewing me out about selling him a car w/ no brakes. After they click on me a couple times, we are now @ the point where they are gonna take me to court.
for his defense he braight up the Florida Lemon Law [ http://www.800helpfla.com/lemonlaw.html ] which i dont think applys to this situation.
relevant shit:
- he gave me a bad check
- he signed the bill of sale 'sold as is'
irrelevant shit:
i have been driving the car since like december almost exactly the way he gave it to me, except that the day after i baught it from him, the tire blew and wrapped around the ECU harness and yanked that out (drivers side front). now this is my word againts his, but i had no idea 'the brakes' would stop working OR ' the trottle would get stuck' ... personaly i dont think thats what happened.
I want your opinion becasue i have YET to get my money for the car and the car is in his possesion, what you think will be the outcome in court.
