Is there any recourse on used car purchase from a private party in CA?
My friend’s 18 year old daughter did not wait for me like I asked her too. She has already purchased the car. She was told the car had not been any accidents. But -- right now the car is at the repair shop being aligned and getting the strut/knuckle fixed. |

Check with the Calif DMV on private party auto sales. Oregon has a 7 day grace period.
http://www.dmv.org/ca-california/departmen...or-vehicles.php I think that the due diligence is placed on the buyer, and a Carfax or Autocheck, and also checking with the Calif DMV on the vehicle history,would have given the buyer pertinant information on the car. Good luck CCLINDEALER |

I think you'd only have recorse if the car was totalled by an insurance company previously.
That law went into effect here in WA about 2 months AFTER I bought my truck and found out it had been deemed totalled by an insurance co. Now by law I can't sell it for more then 2k to a dealer (if they'll take it at all), and of course must devulge to any private party that it was totalled previously. I'll most likely be it's last owner. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) |

Don't misstate the cars history, but what keeps you from selling it out of state at fair market value? |

Nothing, I actually don't want to sell it as of it, but don't like knowing that a dealership won't give me what it's worth (it's a Toyota Tacoma, which usually hold their value quite well). Plus would you buy a vehicle that had been totalled by an insurance company from a guy who crossed state lines in order to sell it? I guess there would be perspective buyers out there, but I wouldn't be able to get top dollar for it (or what I thought it was worth when I purchased it originally). |
