sorry I just need an answer quick and maybe someone here knows

a kid bough my car 2 days ago, today he calls me and tell me he wants he's money back because he's having problems with the tranny, only problem is he didn't sign the tittle because he said he's dad was going to but he's dad was at work when he purchased it altho my signature and name are written down on the tittle, can he get it back?

 

He would have to sue you to get his money back and even then he would have to demonstrate you defrauded him. Tell him its his car and not to contact you again. Also, make sure you file whatever form your DMV requires so you don't end up liable for his parking tickets.

 

did the car have problems with the transmission prior to the sale? Why wouldn't you give him a refund after only two days, especially since he hasn't even signed the title yet? If you aren't trying to be deceptive, why be so opposed to taking the car back?

In the future, don't sell cars to kids who are going "have their dad sign it." Insist the person who's name is going on the title be present, and sign all the relevant paperwork. What probably happened is the kid's dad had a problem with the purchase. There is no reason to make it more of a hassle than it needs to be.

 

If hes under 18 and it goes to court.... He will get his money back... There is no such thing as a binding contract for minors.... If he is over the legal age, the sale is "as is" and he cannot comeback on you for any reason.

Unless he can prove you intentionally deceived him.

 

I'm not a lawyer. But since the title was never signed by the purchaser, you still own the car in the eyes of the state. Unless you have some other signed, dated, written contract for this sale, I don't think you would have a chance in court.

What state are you in?

If money changed hands and the seller gives a bill of sale, then it won't matter if the title is signed or not.

 

What if there is no bill of sale?

 

Then how can the guy even prove he bought the car? If it's registered to the other guy, for all intents and purposes, he could have stolen it.
