Answer 1

there is no way, you had a contract with the son who is over the legal age to sign contracts. The father should of came with the son.. also do you have a copy of the contract so if they try anything you can show the court, but thats if that escalates that far which i dont think it will..

Answer 2

He could try to take you to small claims, but he would lose. If you truly disclosed the odometer issue and wrote a bill of sale with the "no warranty, as-is" piece, you're covered even more than you normally would be. All private, used car sales are as-is.

Answer 3

Tell the father to go pound sand. It sounds to me like you did everything right. You don't owe them a dime, and you do not have to take the car back. If the father keeps calling you, report him to the police for harassment.

Answer 4

First of all the milage doesn't matter with that older of vehicle . The title should have said exempt on it for the milage.It's to oldto matter.You do have a contactwith that boy and not with has dad.If you told he all that you know about the vehicle and it said sold as is on the paper then you have no problem.

Answer 5

he is a major idiot you sold it as is i dont think you have a problem. i think you will be fine.
