Q: I bought a car Aug. 28,2020 I never received paperwork. I got into accident on Sep. 15 which wasn't my fault. After the
Wreck car lot started yelling I need a co signer. They've stated there is no contract. If they are taking the vehicle back do I have to use the couple thousand to fix the car or do.i have to give them the money?
A: It does not appear that you are the titled owner, and may not have a Bill of Sale. The other driver could still sue you and the owner/lot. Also the Lot could possibly sue you, probably for the money agreed upon. There is no clear answer with the facts stated. I think I would return the car and use your money to buy elsewhere. Be alot more careful buying the next one. If you are sued, then hire an attorney to defend you.
