... uhh. You forget that a verbal contract is still a contract, correct?

Tell your friend to take it to a shop, get a quote, and have them work out the bill. Half and half, 3:1... you get the point.

Or tell him to stop being a pansy and work on his own **** car.

EDIT:: You guys are dicks. Just because he sold the car as is, and because your friend is an idiot and can't check out a car, suddenly this guy is getting screwed out of his money? You guys are scum.

actually in court they would ask for the pieace of paper promising to make payment, called a promissory note..all he has to do is say they agreed on $700 to take the car for the weekend and if he still wanted it by monday he pay the rest, if not then get your 700 back and give him the car back..

blaze is right, it could be used TP, or more realistically a napkin

He did get a quote, it was about 1200 bucks to get fixed. Dude said he would give him 300 bucks. And plus the guy knew that it started to smoke and decided not to tell him about it.

verbal wont hold up on court, trust me on this one if its not on paper your word means shit in court,your sticking up for the seller and dont know if hes the bad guy, what if he did just enough work to last for a few days until he got rid of the car then it would have been to late..

yup, it can be on anything even a magic marker written on swiss cheese..

too bad it isnt, the mold could probably take over the words and get him off the hook^^

but if i were your friend, I wouldnt want to be a douche and juts rip up the agreement. I'd try to make him pay for the full repair, or sell the car back for his $700. Unless some other agreement can be reached. And if hes an *** about it (which he has no right to be). I would rip up the cheese and **** his wife

Gotta agree. It is generally a buyer beware market for cars. Unless the seller specifically stated or wrote down that there was a warranty, then it's up to the buyer to deal with it once the deal has been made. If he didn't take it to a mechanic to check out then so sorry, he's out the money to fix it.

This is generally true....but I would suggest asking an actual lawyer in your area about it to be completely sure.

the guy failed to mentioned the car smoked a little on the way over?

 

[loud-n-low 10+ year member]

ive owned 2 Acura legends. great car, but has a seal prob that is much harder to diagnose than other cars. a car this age is kind of a "buyer beware" situation, however a deal should be given since he failed to mention the car smoked on the way. the repair cost is high for this problem

Oh I don't doubt he is dealing with a rather shady seller, quite the contrary. Unfortunately I don't think there is a whole lot he can do about it legally at this point. I would talk to a lawyer, somebodies always doing one of those free consultation deals.
