Question by *~~Peachy~~*: I sold my car last weekend, now the guy wants his money back…?
I have read all the other questions like this and I get the same answer just about every time. But I am just being extra cautious.

I sold a 1995 Saturn SC1 last week to this guy. We negotiated a price of $ 775 because it needed a new radiator and a tune-up. I made sure he knew that my husband drove this car to his job everyday without problems. That the radiator needed to be changed before driving it a long way. He said ok and we made the transaction. I wrote on the biil of sale “Car is sold AS-IS” He signed the title and went and registered it. Now (a week later) he comes knocking on my door saying “We got problems.” He said he took it to a local dealership that checked it out and the mechanic says the rings are bad. He says he wants his money back or me to pay for the repairs. I told him I would check it out and get back to him. I researched it online and found that the lemon laws here in Georgia only apply to dealers and new cars. I, also found that private party sales are not mentioned in the law. I printed out the page from the GOVERNMENT website stating the law and took it to him. He says that there is another law regarding used cars. I have checked it out and found nothing. He informs me that he has an attorney on retainer and he will be contacting him tomorrow about this. I know I told him the car needs repairs and that my husband drove it with no problems. He drove it everyday! The guy test-drove the car and checked the oil and looked the car over really good and still took it home. Does he have the right to demand his money back or take me to court? Or does what I wrote on the bill of sale stand AS-IS?

Answer by Uncle Jed
Let him sue. He will lose. His lawyer will tell him the same thing. AS IS means that. No warranty. You owe him nothing. Tell him to quit calling and to enjoy his new car…………He had a chance to get it inspected before he bought it………….No lemon law on used cars. No he cant return it or demand money back………..md

Question by Misty: is it illegal to sign something “attorney at law” if you aren’t a lawyer?
pleae keep in mind you wouldn’t be having that person or place rely on you for any legal advise or anything. for example, “dear apartment complex, do you have any apartments for rent” signed john doe, attorney at law or “dear company, do you still have cars on sale” signed john doe, attorney at law.

The great thing about donating trucks or cars to charity is that you can make the donations anytime from just about anywhere. There are Goodwill organizations all across the nation that will take your donation, so no matter where you live, you can give to a good cause.

Goodwill Industries is known for its awareness programs and services that bring help and education to those in need in small towns across America. These programs get most of their money by selling donated trucks, cars, planes, boats, motorcycles, etc. Even if you have an old clunker that you have no use for, Goodwill charities may still accept it.

Before you do give it away to a truck donation charity, however, you want to make sure you understand the following:

• Do research on the charities you’re thinking about donating to . Check with the Better Business Bureau to find the best charities.

• Look over the yearly reports carefully to find out how much money they received from the sales of donated trucks and cars. How did they handle that money?

• confer with a financial advisor or lawyer if you’re still unsure about which organization to donate a truck to.

• Make sure you have the vehicle’s title ready to present to the charity when making your donation.

• After making your donation, keep in mind that the charity has an obligation to send you an acknowledgement within 30 days of selling your donated truck or car.

You can always consult with professionals if you need any assistance. Also, there is plenty of info online, including tools and resources, on how to donate a truck or car. These resources will allow you to make sure that you are doing things properly and donating your vehicle to the right organization.

I am trying to recoup costs of a car which I purchased last year. Basically it costs a decent amount of money (30,000) and I wish to attempt to sell tickets for a raffle which would allow the winner to then own the car and I would keep the raffle money. Im not sure if that is legal in the state of New Jersey, so I wanted to see if anyone knew if this was possible. Thanks for your help.

My advice is to speak to a lawyer and the best, most inexpensive way to do this is through Pre-Paid Legal Services.

I’m hoping someone who knows law sees this question. Both parties in this car sale,will be signing a typed contract with the terms spelled out: the payment, the due date, the interest rate, the # of months, the amount financed, etc. But, does this contract have to be run through a lawyer in any fashion to be legal or will it stand up in court without involving one?

NO! A contract for an auto is binding in court. I would do several tings to protect the seller and the buyer.
1. Get copies of drivers license.
2 Get copies of current insurance (Liability, comp and collision)
3 Add affidavit stating insurance must be current at all times
4 List yourself as lienholder on back of title.
5 File title with state
6 Sign all papers at the BANK in front of notaty this holds up in court (the bank gives you and buyer security when exchanging money)
