In most states there is no legal recourse when you buy a used vehicle from a private party. This is true in California, for instance. Private parties are not required to offer any kind of warranty on used vehicles.
Yes, take legal action against him. If it is really fraud that is a criminal offense and you should contact he police.
no it is not legal
If you purchased the car from a dealer you might have legal recourse. If you purchased the car from a private party, probably none since it is sold as-is, unless something was put in writing. Lesson: Make sure the car you're buying is currently titled to the state you live in and ALWAYS do a Cafax and run the VIN number thru the DMV prior to a car purchase. There are clever ways to hide salvage titles and you might have been a victim of one of them.
No, as of 2005 Nevada does not tax private-party vehicle sales, but only if the buyer is a legal resident of the state.
If you are in Philadelphia PA Department of License and Inspections can give you a ticket on your vehicle on private property if it is not legal or there are to many vehicles on your property.
yes it is
If the terms and agreements of the sale is not met legally yes they can if they have retained their legal title to the vehicle
"No Recourse" means there is no positive legal action available. It is the lack of the right to obtain a judgment against or reimbursement from, a defaulting or opposing party.
No. It is a violation to "operate" a motor vehicle on suspended licenses. It is illegal to drive the vehicle even on a test drive. Now that is if you were to drive the vehicle on a public highways, roadways, and streets. You could drive the vehicle around the parking lot (if private property) or on some one's private property is legal.
