Quoted from Don44:By the way, I did not have any kind of contract. I wrote out a bill of sale for him and signed over the title.
Unless NJ has some weird laws, all vehicle sales are as-is unless you state something to the contrary in a contract. I think NY or NJ, somewhere on the east coast there is a law that says the vehicle must be “registerable” or they can return it. To be registerable just needs a clear title and pass emissions......
At any rate, the vehicle was sold as-is, whether you stated that or not. So I’d walk away.
