Last month, I sold my 1997 eclipse Gs on craigslist for 1500 as is.
Well, I just a rude call from this kid. He stated the head gasket blew,radiator,something about it fail e-check etc. Then he this before he put a 100 miles on the car. He said he wants his money back or he'll sue.

I wrote on the listing, Clearly. It only needed a alignment, tires and valvcover leaked abit not Not too bad just needs resealed. autotransmission shifts great and great compression. Car was never raced or beat on.

Everything else was good and I tossed in an extra bumper and a box of extra's motor mount, Raditor hose kit thermostat with gasket, fuel filter, belts alternator-power steering and a upstream O2 sensor. New Timing belt and wtaer pump.

I told them both they're full of it, and I stated on the listing as is an what the Car needs or Didn't need.

Well, his lawyer told him he either sell it out of court or it going to small claims.

I personnelly think this is bullshit. I've printed out two copies of my listing I had on Cragslist to back up, what I wrote.

I think this jackass wants money period.

I strongly believe it would in my favor if this Crap goes to court.

Do you guys think he has a case, what you all think.

Did you get his signature on a bill of sale that stated "vehicle sold AS-IS no warranty" ?

If you did then there isn't shit he can do. If you didn't then it's your word against his in small claims court.

EVERY car I've ever sold has had a bill of sale that the buyer signed that stated the car is sold as-is, no warranty.

I wouldn't worry bout it. He'll waste his money paying a lawyer for BS. You stated as is so he has nothing against you. Personally I think the kid screwed it up so that is why he is wanting to get his money back because its his fault.

News. The Buyer called few minutes ago. He's pressing it, there's a court date set for end of next month.

I went ahead an emailed a free legal aid site here in Ohio. I recieved a call back within two minutes from my email. I told the guy my situtation. He said only way for there's a court date is if they mailed me a summons. Told him I didn't get one. So he appointed me an attorny.

I'll keep this updated, and will tommorrow noon. About this big mess up.

yeah you should get a summons in the mail detailing exactly what it is your getting sued for. the postal worker will have to hand it to you directly and youll then have to sign a bunch of stuff for verification. then youll have a limited time to get out a return statement of where you stand in the situation (21 days here in michigan). Whatever you do, i strongly suggest you get a lawyer if he has one. if he doesnt, you could battle with your word against his. should he have one, you will need one. they tend to not be in much favor of those who dont get a lawyer with the assumption your not really looking at this from a legal perspective. I wish you luck in this situation. Shop around for lawyers. Here in michigan, the avg pay for a lawyer is 160/an hour.

Considering the ammount is for less than $5000 then its a small claims court issue. No lawyers allowed in small claims court.

I would call the court that the douchnozzle told you to show up at and find out if there really is a hearing scheduled because the kid may just be blowing smoke up your ass or he's trying to rope you into some kind of arbitration that he knows you won't be able to find, thereby leaving you on the short end of the stick that you can't fight. I've heard of it happening before. Old scammer trick.

well it could be a deputy that would deliver it or it could come in mail. im not sure about any other areas...but here in my county i can google clair county court dockets and theres a link right at the top in which you can enter and put in anyones last and first name (both required) and itll show a persons entire record within that county meaning it excludes anything done in other counties. so if anyone was to ever bring a civil suit against you, it would be in there. it would say "so-so vs. you" summons and complaint issued.
