I would need to know more detail about the car and your agreement when you bought the car. You cannot get the guy arrested based on the facts you present. The woman you spoke to at the house doesn’t dictate whether you can sue. You don’t need to wait a year. Again, I would need more details... Read more »
I started to look up all the rules relating to dealerships selling used vehicles. After 12 pages, I stopped. The Vehicle Code, Sections 11700 - 11740 cover sales by dealers.

You might possibly be able to get them to give you the car back if you make all past due payments plus pay late charges - but they can legally refuse to agree to do that, and they can demand you pay off the loan in full - just because of missing one payment. You loan agreement most likely says any... Read more »

No, petit larceny as a third offense is a class 6 Felony. There is no mandatory jail time. However, that doesn't mean that a punishment involving jail time isn't possible, or even likely, it simple means it isn't required. If you are found guilty a judge can give 0 days in jail up to... Read more »

You can probably find a general practice attorney who will take the case. Of importance to your case will be the representations made by the seller and whether you received a warranty or bought it "as is." One of their defenses will be whether you had a property inspection or not.
The car was as is, but since March, supposedly aftwr this car was certified by ASC mechanics, the rack and pinion tore itself apart and the transmission separated. The dealer said oh well, let,me find you a mechanic. If this car was certified it should not have fallen apart this quick. So what are... Read more »
"AS-IS" means exactly what it says. The only way this can be attacked if if the SALESMAN contradicted the "AS-IS" sign in the windshield and represented something akin to a "specific representation," such as mentioned "this car was certified just prior to you... Read more »
There is no way for us to give you a reliable answer to such a general question. You need to take the contract for purchase to an attorney and speak to the attorney in detail about what was said about the car and so forth, and what was wrong with the car.
There is no "lemon law" for a used vehcile in North Carolina. You need to personally speak to an attorney about what was represented about the car in order to determine if you have a case. This is way too fact intensive to be asked on an online forum such as Justia. In gereral, your... Read more »

My Wife had our car at a mechanic shop. The seller of the car tried to take the car from their property. The mechanic shop said stay off their property.

I purchased a car from a private seller. He assured me there were no issues other than cosmetics, after driving it home I immediately informed him that the car ran rough, on the highway. He told me that if I found any issues, we could trade back the next day. I told him this is what I wanted. He... Read more »

A California attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, private sales often tend to be "as is." I'm sorry for the difficult situation the purchase has put you in, but unless the seller included some form of written warranties,... Read more »

Sorry for your issues. Assuming all facts you state to be correct, you can go with an Auto Fraud claim (attorney) or you can go with an Unfair Debt Collection claim (Attorney) or someone who handles both. Anyone who practices consumer law should be able to handle OR refer to the proper firm.

Very sorry to hear about your situation. Buying used cars is difficult particularly if you are not mechanically inclined and cannot detect defects on your own.

Seller has committed (LIKELY) a crime, as rolling back an odometer is a federal crime.
If for instance, the prior repair order is in seller's name, you have proof he KNEW of the rollback.
You cannot THREATEN to report the seller, you can only report him/her or not report.... Read more »
