This depends where you live.
Where I live it is not directly against the law but it is easy to sue for repair re-imbursement.
In the UK it is specifically ileagle to sell a car with problems and not disclose them.
yes 5% or $300 max
Yes you do.
After a car sale, a private party can return the car within thirty days. This return policy is dependent on the individual seller.
If you have the title it is your car, just take it.
In California it is the responsibility of the seller to provide verification of a current smog inspection before conducting a sales transfer of a vehicle. Without a smog certification from the seller you don't have a right to return the vehicle, but the seller is still responsible to pay for certification and any necessary repairs to pass California emission requirements.
The taxation will come when you register the boat.
Slim to none. Usually cars bought via private party are sold 'as is', which means the seller makes no warranties to the vehicles condition or mechanical problems. In other words, WYSIWYG What You See Is What You Get - no more, and no less.
The private seller holds the title until paid in full, he should transfer the title to private buyers name and place a lien on title then the title will be mailed back to the private seller and once vehicle is paid the seller signs off on the lien and mails the title to the buyer. A contract/bill of sale should be signed by both parties to the payment agreement established for the protection of both parties.
VICTIM buyer has to pay off the leinholder to get car. And/or sue con seller. Leinholder WILL get their money. GOOD LUCK...
Yes. You will pay them when you register the car at the DMV. Pretty lame. Double taxation.
Yes! the reason is because taxes have to be assessed for the value of the vehicle for registration purposes
