I sold a used car in Michigan with an “AS IS” Bill of Sale. Can buyer force me to refund their money?
Question : I sold a used car in Michigan with an “AS IS” Bill of Sale. Can buyer force me to refund their money?
I told the buyer he couldn’t test drive the car because of no license or insurance. He said “OK” and bought the car. Sale price was under $ 500. I told the buyer that the car had not been driven or started for 6 months and the only thing I knew that was wrong was it needed a tuneup and that the AC didn’t work. The car is a 1992 Olds with 222,000 + miles on it. I typed out and both of us signed a Bill of Sale stating “AS IS” – no warranty expressed or implied. Buyer did not get the car home-transmission leaking through front seal. Now he wants his money back. Am I legally liable? Also, can you legally test drive a vehicle with no license or insurance in Michigan? Thanks!

I AM FROM MICHIGAN AND HAVE BOUGHT/SOLD MANY VEHICHLES, THIS BILL OF SALE IS BINDING ON YOUR PART. YOU WON’T HAVE ANY LEGAL PROBLEMS THOUGH HE MIGHT TAKE MATTERS IN HIS OWN HANDS.NEXT TIME RECORD THESE PROBLEMS ON THE BILL OF SALE FOR MORE EXACT UNDERSTANDING. AND NO ! YOU CANNOT LEGALLY TEST DRIVE A VEHICHLE WITHOUT PLATES/INSURANCE. ITS THE LAW!

No he doesn’t get his money back… You told him as is… So whatever happened to the car once it was sold is the buyer’s problem. You both singed a bill of sale stating as is. so you don’t owe the buyer a thing. And besides what do you get for under $ 500 today? He has no right to ask for his money back at all. That is just how some people are… I have been there and done that myself. You should be able test a car as long as they don’t go too far with it. Just far enough to see that it runs,drives, and stops. I have done this in the past.

You sold it to him as is. You are not required to be forced to allow a test drive. (if I couldn’t test drive a car, I would not buy it) I think that he is S>O>L>
