Q: Car sold on Craigslist in CA to NJ buyer. Was represented honest but didn’t meet buyer expectations, threatening to sue.
Can he sue in NJ small claims?
Do I have to go to NJ to defend?
I am not dealer, did not misrepresent car, he declined inspection, and accepted car and all damages indicated by transport company, does he have a case in these circumstances?
Thanks!
A: Simply put, it depends on what kind of written agreement you have. If you don't have an agreement, signed by both parties, you are stuck with a verbal agreement. You can try to work it out with the other side.
A:
Can he sue in NJ? Of course, he is a NJ resident. Do u have to go to NJ to defend, No.
