I was told it's the transmission that the the only problem.

Now you are considering trying to "lemon law" sue me? I'm pretty DAMNED sure there is no case. I could sell you a car that I poured sand into the motor, once the title is signed over, it's a completed sale. There were no guarentee's offered.

I've done nothing but try and be of help to you. I even forgave the rest of the money of that check your mom wrote to me that bounced, and the hundreds in overdrafts that ended up causing me. I'm done with you.

In the state of GA (where I live and have knowledge of this law) if you do not write something to the effect of "sold as is, where is without gaurantee, no express or implied warranty offered", then the purchaser would have recourse in event of any defects.

Thanks for your help and advice Ben, I'll definitely bear all of this in mind next time I sell a vehicle. I gave up on trying to recover the rest of those funds, it's not worth it to me at this point. However, if this does go to court, I'll be shooting for them.

I'll just leave that alone for now, the check plus the fee's I got were under $350 total. If I hear another word about this car though, I'm going for it. My roommate wants more beer $. :gay:

Besides, from reading your m.net posts, it would be simple to create a case that shows your own inability/ignorace/negligence.

Also, since you bounced your check, the purchase contract should be considered to be incomplete, as you failed to meet your end. Man up and cover the bounced check!

The lemon law only offers recourse in new car purchases. Small claims court would be the more appropriate venue for this, though I doubt this case would do anything but waste the court's time.

The selling party could easily file against the purchaser/purchaser's mom to recover the amount of the bounced check, a bounced check fee, and may be entitled to double damages (up to the maximum limit of the law). Bouncing a check is a felony if the check is over a certain amount. The amount varies state to state.

there is no need for all the foul stuff :gtfo: you guys are talking here and the check was cancel for $170.

Actually, it IS your fault as his financial difficulties and penalties occurred as a direct result of your unlawful conduct.


I can't comment on the engine situation. But it was your responsibility to check it out before the purchase. What was wrong with the original motor?

The other items are petty. You purchased a nearly 20 year old car, known to have mechanical defects.



For $6000k I'll sell you MY perfect running 91, and warranty it for the next 10 years.

Ben, before sale, the motor was running fine, there were no problems. (EDIT: There was a vacuum leak, prob from intake manifold gasket. he was told about this and I have it in writing as well)
He contacted me asking about boosting, put everything back together. I recommended getting a bigger fuel pump, or wide band soon, as the climates were much different and it was cold as hell out here for my quick tune. Somehow, whatever he did, the motor blew up a couple weeks after he bought it. It was a new Motor, about 35k on it, pro installed by AIM tuning. There was nothing wrong.
