First, you should call the person that you bought the car from if you haven't already. Just tell them what happened and you want your money back and you'll give the car back, end of deal. If they aren't willing to do this, which I think most people will be, then you'll have to seek further as to what to do.

Nothing unless you have a written agreement that any problems that occur within the first however long will be fixed by the seller. Normally if a person buys a car from a private owner they should get a mechanic to make sure everything checks out fine, because cars purchased from a private owner is usually not under warranty.


I just bought a used car 3 weeks ago it broke down and will not start i don't want it anymore and i have no warranty what do i do?

If you don't want it anymore then you can try re-selling it. A private sale is always "as-in" unless you have an agreement so you're probably going to have to cut your losses and be more careful next time.

How long to return car purchased in California from private owner?

There is no "lemon law" on used car sales from private parties. One generally buys a car in those conditions "as is" and there is no warranty or guarantees implied. The sale is final and the previous owner is under no obligation whatsoever to return your money or take the car back. You bought it ... and now anything that goes wrong with it is your responsibility. Next used car purchase, take a mechanic along to evaluate things before you put your cash down.


What if you dont want your car back from the impound lot?

Leave it. The impound lot will probably sell it if you, the owner, don't retrieve it in a certain amount of days. (They won't come looking for you) I had a college friend whose car broke down at a 7-11 store, they towed it, he just bought another vehicle and was glad to be rid of the old one!
