First, you should make sure it is the used car you want. Second, ask questions to find out if anything is wrong with the car. Third, test drive to make sure the car runs smoothly. Make an agreement with the seller that if something is wrong with the care within a few days or weeks of purchase, the seller will pay for the repairs. This would be a great used car deal.

Go to your local DMV with the seller in tow, and ask for a duplicate title. You may end up in a mess here as you should have never bought a car without the seller providing the title. You have no proof you even own the car unless the seller is honest. Filing for a storage lien is how you may proceed to acquire title without trying to get ahold of the seller in tow. Ask for the forms at the DMV.

How much time does a buyer have to return a car to it's seller. I bought a used car from a private party 4 hours later the car engine seized.?

You cannot just return a car to the seller. There is no cooling off period on the sale of a vehicle. In your situation you can call the seller and ask for your money back, or ask the seller to repair the vehicle. If the seller refuses, your only recourse is to sue the seller in court. If you bought this car "AS IS" and there was no implied or written warranty then you will have to prove in court that the seller knew the engine was about to lock up. You must prove that the car was not serviceable on the day you bought it and the seller knew it. Get a written statement to that fact from 2 mechanics and that will strengthen your case. Otherwise you will probably loose on a car you bought "AS IS'.
