Buyer beware..??
ok so i need your thoughts....I have sold a used car before and had zero problems so I was hoping it would be that way again. Yesterday the lady that bought my car called me. Now...when I sold it i knew it was making a weird noise, I even warned them about it. They heard it at the time of the drive, we thought maybe it was the spare rolling around so we took it out, they drove it again. Apparently it wasnt the tire it was something under the back of the car. Most smart people would realize "hmm, I like the car but it makes a weird noise so I better have it looked at before i buy". Did these people have it checked or a diagnostic done? Nope..sure didnt. I had it looked at by my mechanic before hand and they didnt think it was anything serious so I left it alone. Now the lady is telling me her husband doesnt think its safe to drive and the person that smogged it said he thougth it was the back end of the car. I dont know if they meant mechanical stuff or that the back end is actually falling apart. She told me she was going to take it in to a mechanic and call me back and let me know, she was saying she thought there was a law that protected the buyer. Now i know with dealers there is a law and the dealership may be liable. However from what I have found online, from a private seller it us a sale "as is" which means once the car leaves my site and the money has been exchanged I am no longer responsible for anything beyond that point. Am I right? She can return the car can she? There were no hidden issues, she knew up front everything and still made the purchase...
