Q: I recently purchased a car from a guy but he didn't have a title..he assured me that I could use our written bill of sal
But I'm not able to so now I have a car I can't register..the bill of sale did say he wasn't liable for the title or car after signing..what rights as a buyer do I have if any
A: Sue him for what is called recision--means unwinding the deal--and also for what you paid. Hopefully you can do that in small claims.You'll have a problem if the bill of sales said that and you still signed, but give it a shot. You can also talk to the attorney generals consumer division if he was a business as it may be illegal to sell a car with no title and a waive to a consumer.
