Car Accessories Sales
What are my options by law, barter trade car for car as is contract, going bad?
I traded my car (94 civic ex) with extra accessories for another car (acura legend 93) Straight up no cash just barter, bill of sale was signed by both parties with as is contract. Titles are not signed over yet cause of different schedules. I gave him the car in good running condition since then he came to me with a issue that occurred with the engine, He admitted to me he ran the car with no oil and now is hearing a knocking sound in the engine. The son that signed bill of sale is not owner of title, his fathers name is on title. Now his father wants cash on top of barter trade, both cars need money put into them. What can I do if father does not want to sign title over, after son has signed bill of sale as is and told me his father would sign over the title. I also spoke with father and he previously agreed to sign over title with no cash. If i accept the civic back, I will have to buy a new engine, that I dint damage, What are my options by law?
This is another example of people doing things the wrong way. You were supposed to exchange cars AND SIGNED TITLES at the same time.
The father is the legal owner of the car, it's irrelevant if the son signed a bill of sale or contract with you because it would be void (he's NOT the legal owner, he can't sign away the car).
The father can request to have the car back since HE never signed anything. All he has to do is tell the court that his son acted without his consent. It doesn't matter if he lies about it, the point is that you have no way to prove anything.
If you take the car back then your option is to sue for the engine. BUT it's going to be a very hard to prove the car was in good condition before the sale. So you got a 50% chances to lose.
Next time do everything by the book, don't give up the car until getting all the paperwork done.
