A: Many people who sell or trade vehicles (or other objects) experience this. As a general rule, the law does not impose a requirement that money paid for something be fair market value or a good deal when it comes to the sale of goods or property. It could be whatever the parties bargain for, with the exception of instances of deceit, egregious conduct, or a few narrow exceptions addressed by state consumer laws. Good luck
