It is unlawful to sell a NEW car with an open recall. It is negligent, unfair, misleading and perhaps more depending on who said what and when, to sell a USED car with an open recall. In law school and "Judge" school, we learn that finding in favor of a contract being enforceable keeps... View More

This included my Insurance and when I asked why they stated that it was because the associate stated they needed it for their... View More

How have you been harmed by the dealership?
You co-signed.
So you and your friend are jointly liable for the purchase price of the car.
If anything, you have a claim against your friend for wrecking the car.

To prove liability, an expert would need to establish through forensic testing that the lighter had a product defect and that defect caused your injuries. An attorney may be interested in taking your case, so reach out to personal injury attorneys in your jurisdiction.

Unlikely. Is this a private seller? This is a classic caveat emptor situation: until the point where money and title changed hands, you had the ability to investigate, and either negotiate for a lower price or walk away. Unless the seller warranted, guaranteed, or promised you something, I think... View More
