I just did a google search for lemon law and everything came up for NEW cars only...So does it count towards a used car sold clearly as "As Is,Where Is"?

^ Yeah if you acn't come up with 600 for a car then something is fishy. I'm a full-time student, and work part-time and I can even manage to scrounge up that cash at any time.

Aaron man I keep reading these stories of your life and I don't even know what to say.
You need a life coach man.

This is ridiculous.

The "contract" - is it a legal contract devised by a lawyer, or just a piece of paper you guys made up between you two?

You can't charge him with theft.

I think the most you could do is take him to small claims court which would probably end up costing you more money than he owes you in the end.


Bottom line - CASH UP FRONT.

I wonder if he would still have bought the car if you said "oh can i give you the motor this week, then the seats next week, then the carpet the next, then.... etc" - don't let yourself get taken advantage of.


Tell him he owes you the rest of the money regardless of the cars condition now. When you made the deal and gave him the car it ran fine (or at least im assuming by the posts on here). Or tell him you are willing to take the car back, but you are going to keep what he has already paid you are an inconvenience fee. $600 for a car - you can't expect it doesn't need some new parts and labour.

Time to take control of your life. Stop being taken advantage of.

I mean if I go into a stoe to buy a can of pop for $1.00,I set down only .25 and grab the can and run,isnt that theft?

I really dont see how its not theft...But I may be wrong...if I ammplease someone explain it to me..


Oh yeah....He has made a payment of $210 towards an agreed sum total of $600.The next payment of $120 was due yesterday.He has now not paid it nor has he provided a car for me to see as being "puked"...and he refuses to tell me where the car is...something to think about there....
Yah but u didnt sign a contract to pay a quarter every so often to pay off the pop lol Your situation could still be classified as theft but i'm just givin u an arguement he may be able to use with the right lawyer.

Chris is right as well. Say give me the money or i'm towing the car back and you can forget about it all. Bring the tow truck and all unless it runs, then bring a cop so you can get the keys.

Chris any contract is legal with exceptions here and tehre, u dont need a lawyer to make it legal.

It doesn't have to be written up by a lawyer to be considered legal. As long as it says that the guy agrees to pay and it has his signature a judge will probably accept it. (done it before)

Next.. unless the ownership is in this other guys name, the car belongs to Aaron. Regardless of what payments have been made.

Now.. if Aaron has been dumb enough to sign over the ownership before getting full payment then he needs to have his head examined
