Hello, I am selling my truck for 30k, a dealership is buying it and they are giving me a cashiers check, meeting at bank. My question is, should I write a bill of sale myself and a AS IS contract in word or have them just fill out the 262 Reg form from the DMV? I am just trying to protect myself... View More

You should start by reviewing any documentation you have from the car purchase, the repair attempts, and any communication with the dealership. This will help you understand your rights and obligations in this situation. If you don't have these documents, try to gather as much information as... View More

The good news is that your traffic case was dismissed by a judge on May 1, 2024, in Isle... View More

Maybe. Check out the requirements to file a Lemon Law claim on the Texas DMV website: https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/consumer-protection/lemon-law
You might meet the 30-day test or the serious safety hazard test.
I bought a car from a dealership in January 2023. Since then the car has been in the shop 3 times. This last time found out prior to me buying the car that the dealership knew the car needed a new engine before reselling and yet they sold it to me anyway. Do I have a case?
answered on May 7, 2024
If the vehicle was new when you bought it, you may have a case, most likely for breach of warranty.
Please if I can get help to get my records that they refused to send me just sign here and good bye

A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. The question isn't fully clear from your post, but it looks like you are trying to locate the lawyers who sued an entity that could be relevant to your interests, and that you want your records from them???

The registration has the wrong name and driver license no. on it, Does this void the contract. Informed the dealer of this, he said i have to have it corrected at my local secretary of state office
answered on Feb 2, 2024
Does this void your contract? Probably not. However, the reason for the error should be investigated. I suggest you file a complaint with the Michigan Attorney General. And also contact the S.O.S. and ask questions. Perhaps they can shed some light.
I bought a single family residence after the seller disclosed the house had a Class 4 roof. My property insurance discount is contingent on having a Class 4 roof. Neither the seller nor El Paso County can provide me with any evidence to certify the roof is Class 4. What is my legal recourse?
answered on Jan 23, 2024
You can hire an inspector to inspect the roof and certify that it is, in fact, a Class 4 roof, and provide that certification to your property insurer.

I bought the car back in 2017 from a dealership and just recently found out it has 4 recalls on it and I was not told it had recalls on it some that are very scary. If someone can advise me on what to do next. Thank you.
answered on Sep 13, 2023
Of course, as a concerned buyer, buying a vehicle, you will want to look into that history before buying. A new car may NOT be sold with an open recall at all. A used one can. DUTY to disclose? That's another question, but, again, when spending that kind of money on a vehicle, it is wise, as... View More

A Massachusetts attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. A starting point could be to review the terms of the agreement or consult with an attorney to review them with you. Good luck

West probably bought the note or was even the original lender. Read whatever paperwork you have on the finance. You signed the note, and that has nothing to do with the car. You might be able to file a Notice of Exempt Property if they sue you, or CH 7 Bankruptcy. How do you know US went... View More
I’ve had to replace my transmission now 2 different times in 10 months of owning my 2018 Ford Expedition. My first replacement was $5,200 and then 1 1/2 months later the transmission went out and now they are working on it again
answered on Jul 24, 2023
Yes, you can sue a dealership if you have had to replace your transmission 2 times within a year. Whether you will be successful depends on the facts and your presentation. You don't mention anything about any written agreements.

it's not lemon law but it could be auto fraud. call and consult with an auto fraud attorney right away (have all your purchase and mechanical paperwork ready to send to the attorney).
I own one of the vehicles included in the case and am about to be out $5000 for repairs to the transmission.

Contact the lawyers representing the plaintiff class.
If you have an actual documented transmission failure and a decent back story, they might want to include you as a named plaintiff to get a better settlement for the class.
