purchased bad used car, can i sue? *proof*

[Ali20]

bought a van yesterday and the battery has died on me today, and as well as the hood smoking a lot (I'm afraid its the head gasket).

I contacted the seller and he said he did not know about the battery problem (which is bogus).

The thing is on the Bill of Sale he wrote car is sold as is what is, but i just got to learn what it means, but NOWEHRE in our meeting did he tell me about any problems, said car runs fine with NO Problems.

I have the orgiinal screenshot of the ad, where it says Great Van and $1000 firm, and no where in the ad does it say As-is, so wouldn't this be considered fraud since on the Kijiji ad he didn't write car is "as-is" but on the bill he ended up writing it.

[benz_890]

NO, unless he was a dealer, all private sales are AS IS.

[dj_rice]

No. Its not fraud. All private sales that are non-dealer as assumed to be SOLD AS IS.

Its your fault you didnt get it checked out mechanically before buying it.

[Redlined_8000]

Your trying to sue over a $1000 dollar van having a bad battery and a bit of smoke???

I think your on your own man. You should of checked the van over before buying.

[7thgenvic]

You bought the car as is.....

End of story....

You can ask, but the fact that you didn't get it checked out before hand is your fault. You should have done the due diligence and had a mechanic look at the car.

You could have driven the car and seen if there were problems.

[Seth1968]

It doesn't matter what the ad says. What matters is the written bill of sale which states "as is".

EDIT: There were no replies when I started to post this reply.

[Disoblige]

Sure, the seller is dishonest, but really it's your responsibility to know what's going on. No, it is not fraud that he wrote on the bill of sale that it is sold "as is". If you had a problem with it, you could have just walked away without signing it.

Edit: lol @ all the responses within a few minutes.

[Ali20]

I've seen tons of ads on Kijiji that have as is listed, this ad should have had the same words written, the fact that it did not, but the bill sale did is a illegal selling strategy in itself.

Were you expecting a brand new car for $1000 :facepalm: You bought a $1000 beater and are no complaining that the ad should have said as is or the guy should have told you there is problems. Like it was said above, the onus is on you to check out the vehicle before you bought it, taken it for a inspection, brought along a mechanic friend, whatever it is you do. You don't have shit on the guy who sold it to you, unless he was a dealer.

God, you sound like the douche bag who bought a minivan off my uncle and came knocking when he blew the motor a year later, threatening to sue him.

[sr20s14zenki]

You wont get anyhing. Buyer beware. Be smarter next time...and dont expect a 1000 $ car to be flawless.

[Ali20]

I'll try out small claims court or talking to my lawyer tommorrow, let's see what happens.

Yeah this is the kind of people I hate. You basically have 8+ people saying the same thing that it's "buyer beware", and this idiot says he'll talk to a lawyer :rofl:

I seriously hope it's a troll, or else you're a complete moron, Ali20.

[revelations]

Let me guess, you live in the NE and you bought a beat old shit box in the NE?

Now youre going to sue because you didnt know any better to get a mechanical inspection done? LOLZ

OP did you even test drive the thing?

[7thgenvic]

You know lawyers aren't free..... Right?

Unless you can find some U of C law student to represent you... "this guy sold me his car as is...and it doesn't work...."

You're going to win this car for sure...

Gotta be a troll, as no one can be THAT naive.

...but then again.

[asp integra]

bahhaha i seriously hope this is a troll



if not, you did sign the bill of sale that says "as is" did you not?
also no lawyer would touch this with a 10 foot pole hahaha

[Ali20]

Yeah, I drove it before buying and it was running fine, oil and engine looked fine from what we could tell, just when we got home noticed smoke coming out and than in the morning the battery completely died.

[btimbit]

Unfortunately, you're on your own. Should have gotten it checked. Yeah the guy is dishonest, but he broke no laws.

[J.M.]

:facepalm:

Good luck getting your money back!

[botox]

It's up to you to find the problems and ask the proper questions. Big deal he didn't mention it, the only way you'll win this is if you can prove he indeed lied about something serious on the car which would of made or broke the sale. Not having as is on the kijiji ad is nothing. Consider the $1000 cheap tuition for a lesson learned when buying a used car. If you do go to small claims, good luck.

[ddduke]

What's wrong with you?

You come here asking a question and looking for advice, then EVERYONE tells you that you're in the wrong and to drop it. Instead of listening to the same answer that EVERYONE is giving you, you decide to ignore it and go off in your own direction.

The lawyer won't cost you a thing because he'll tell you the same thing that EVERYONE else did, you bought a car as is so you're fucked.

Fuck, probably the next NDP leader with his grasp on reality

[Kloubek]

Seriously OP, just stop. You're not going to win in this thread, and you're not going to win in court or anywhere else as far as this vehicle goes.

I feel for you... I really do. But do understand that a vehicle for $1000 will almost always require you to put money into it to make it completely roadworthy.

Good luck. Just don't waste your time persuing anything. The ONLY recourse you might have is to talk to the guy and say it is doing this, and ask for your money back. He'll almost certainly tell you no, but it might be worth a try.

Can I sue a lawyer because it didn't clearly state that he knew the law anywhere at his firm, which is obviously illegal practice. He also didn't win this case for me and still charged me a fee.

[EK69]

Hey buddy don't listen to these ppl telling u that u can't do shit. This is Canada man u can always do shit. Use the legal system and fight against "the man"

I have some ideas on how to go about this... Get that sob for illegally selling u a piece of shit van! Make a video tape or at least an audio recording of ur conversation with the lawyer in order to legally protect urself from any false or misleading statements he may use to procure u as a client. I think only one person needs to know its being recorded anyways so no need to tell the lawyer (might scare him if u tell him so it won't do u any good)

And u know how u have picture proof of the original kijiji ad where it doesn't state "as is" but then the seller employed an illegal selling strategy by changing the terms on u? This video or audio recording would provide similar protection to u from any sneaky and dishonest lawyers u come across.

Oh and make sure u back up the audio or video recording somewhere so u don't lose ur proof.
Something like YouTube works well since its an off site back up that u can access from anywhere u need it like smart phones etc. Pretty convenient to show the judge too

And i dunno if ur like me but no fucking way am I gonna be able to remember that weird ass YouTube address... So do what I do. Write it down. Hell even type it up here so u can again access it anywhere u might need it like on ur smart phone etc. That way u can keep track of all the stuff related to ur case in this thread... And since it's technically an off site back up its totally safe from being lost like a damn piece of paper would be.

So you admit that it was running fine, oil and engine looked fine. So you must have done something to it on the way home because in your own words "it was running fine" before you bought it.

Maybe the seller wasn't actually shady and the van just shit the bed that night. Coincidental, but it's an older vehicle, so shit happens.

You know OP, I'll support you. We could save money tag-teaming costs for our legal team as I also got what I feel is less than the experience I thought I purchased and plan to sue. What happened you ask? Well let me just tell you below:

Regardless of what any number of marketers led me to believe, I COULD eat just one. I also, and I mean absolutely beyond even a shadow of a doubt, COULD believe it was NOT butter. These ads are unacceptable.

Is this a joke? If not, this should be a lesson learn for you. $1000 van will have many problems, what were you expecting? If you weren't sure, you should have at least brought it to a mechanic and paid him peanuts or something and now you are trying to sue him? well, good luck ali20!

I can fix you battery, they are quite expensive though. It would be $500 with a warranty on the battery. But you can include that cost in your lawsuit.

Oh, how I love the beyond community, OP asks a simple question, possibly first-time buyer and did not understand what the "as is" clause was. Simple replies saying no would have sufficed, but as we know, "If you post, trolls will come"

The fact that the ad was listed at $1000 firm and you payed his asking price, that's your first mistake, it's kijiji should've said $300 cash today,

I dunno, buddy of mine sold an 86 camry to some FOB a few years back..

Finally he had to threaten him with a harassment lawsuit to get him to stop calling.

Doesent have to be a 400$ inspection, even one hour at a local shop would suffice.

compression
undercarriage
drivetrain
test drive

- just off the top of my head ...

[FraserB]

Last time I had an inspection do it was like $80, seems worth it to me considering they caught a $1000 problem.

[whydontchathen]

It's too bad you got cheated by a crook Ali, and it's too bad there's so much hostility here from other Beyonders. I hope you can find a way to get restitution.

$1000 is nothing to sneeze at. Not too many years ago (1996 & 97) I bought two cars, consecutively, each for under $600. Of course each of them only lasted a year, LOL, but I guess I did alright.....

But back to your problem. Did you sign the bill of sale too? If you signed it and he signed it, and it's dated, it could be considered a contract. I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not sure about this, but perhaps it's implied that a car sale is for a car that works. Not one that breaks down in under 24 hours.

If this had happened to me I would

A) contact the seller and ask for a refund. Appeal to his conscience, maybe he has one. And if he refuses to be honest about this rip-off, then

B) I would file a case with small claims court and try to get justice that way. Make sure you document everything that has happened, dates, mechanics' evaluation in writing if you take it to a shop.... etc etc.

Good luck!

A) sorry you can ask for a refund, but I'm sure the seller will tell you to get lost. So thats a waste of time.

B) You can document all you want, as mentioned many many times in this thread, you wont get anything from small claim.

I always seem to have a friend who has bought some ridiculous car for a couple grand and they go on about how I don't know how to buy cars, a month or two later something has either exploded or rendered the car undrivable and I'm still chugging along.

Nobody seems to be realistic when buying a car for $2K and under, they think they have a great deal, don't really look at it or factor in the costs of fixing stuff that's wrong and then suddenly they're shocked when their great deal turns into a bust. People like OP shouldn't be allowed to buy cars in this price range. The end result is usually them crying like a little child.

You guys rooting for "Ali" are forgetting that this is a $1k vehicle, and problems are to be expected. It's not exactly a 2012 car with 800kms on the clock. Small claims court wouldn't even waste their time with shit like this.

Yeah, I was going to say, how the hell is a bill of sale a contract? no its far from it.
Why would any seller give a refund? I have a good conscious too, but not when some random person has something for a week. Who knows what he did with it in that time frame.

Originally posted by whydontchathen

And that "contract" says sold as-is, where is, meaning the purchaser agrees to having absolutely no recourse should something go wrong beyond the signing, because they wouldn't have signed unless they were satisfied with whatever amount of due diligence they did. The OP was upset that the kijiji ad didn't say "as is where is", which is hilarious.

Also the purchaser made no effort to do the standard used car due diligence.

[JRSC00LUDE]

Argue with past precedent?

Beat a dead horse?

Ignore what was clearly written on the bill of sale by admission of the purchaser?

Prove the system wrong and take it to the man?

[Ali20]

I called the seller and he said that the alarm has shut off the car, and there is a black button on the left side of the wheel that I should press with the ignition powered and than car would start again.

So I guess that may be the problem, but how do I fix this from happening again? i dont want to be giving car a boost everyday.

and please don't take shots at me, after all this is a car forum.

After all this is a car forum?

You really think that this being a car forum means that everyone and everything is so civilized all of the time.

You, sir, are in for another rude awakening.

rip out the alarm? or instead of the button put a cheap wallmart switch there and have it on/off when you want?:dunno:

^ it really must be from the NE for a 1000$ van to have an alarm.

Anyway, just pull the fuse for the alarm system. Not worth fixing.

Get a club if youre living in sketchville.

Years ago when I sold my DSM G1 Talon, I told the seller to contact me with any questions .

I got 2 phone calls, first for the stereo anti-theft code (my fault) and second, a frantic call from the side of a road about 2 weeks later after he drove the piss out of it and did something to the turbo - apparently the exhaust manifold was RED hot right after shut down - which is a great way to kill a turbo.

don't invest another penny into it.. If anything cut you're losses. PnP might give you $500 for it. but just a suggestion.

sounds like you may have had a electrical fire? maybe the brain for the alarm fried.

Pick n pull would probably give ~$200 for an older van, although I'd still recommend that Ali g or whatever sell it to them as he's obviously over his head
