Car had accident buy clean car fax report.
I recently (2 weeks ago) sold a 2004 Honda Accord for $10k that had a small low impact rear-end accident requiring a new trunk lid and tail light. I told the guy it has a clean car fax (which it does, he even saw it, the accident is not on there). He never asked if it had been in an accident or had it inspected. (He never really looked at it all for any cosmetic damages). He bought the car as is- no warranty implied. Now I guess the tail light isn’t working and 2 engine lights have come on. The tail lights were working the day he drove it off my driveway after signing the bill of sale and the engine lights came on a few days later. Now he’s threatening to have an attorney to sue me for the ‘damages’. I don’t think I did anything wrong- he never asked if it had been in an accident and those lights weren’t on when he bought it- it had been over 3 days when they came on. He called me the next day to tell me ‘the tail light doesn’t seem to be working’. Am I held legally responsible for these things? He didn’t think to check the tail lights when he bought it, so isn’t it his fault? He also never asked about an accident, therefore I never thought to mention it. What is going to happen?? Thank you!

ATV Title Being Held by Seller
We bought an ATV from a man that still owed the bank money for it. He was to pay off the bank, and then give us the title. We have a bill of sale as follows: ”I (seller) certify that I am the lawful owner of this vehicle (description) & have the authority to sell it. I do hereby grant, sell and transfer full ownership to the buyer. I certify this vehicle is free from all encumbrances and liens except those specified on the title or listed below; and that I (seller) will be held fully responsible for such lawful claims and demands with respect to the vehicle, if any. If applicable, Seller agrees to make arrangements for the reasonable delivery of vehicle title from lien holder to buyer immediately.” Then a line was added that says ”upon release of title from lien holder.” Is there anything we can do to get this title? Do we have any recourse at all? Is there anything we can threaten him with? We want the ATV.

UPDATE: I found my bill of sale and at the bottom there is a check box that says ”sold as is” this box is not checked. Can I use this to my advantage.
In May 07 I bought an 02 nissan sentra from a hole the wall dealership that helps people build credit ( I had no credit so this was one of my few options). The car had 75g miles on it. When I went to pull the car away I noticed that the engine light was on and when I asked what was the reason the salesman said it was probably something to do with the gas cap.( I know my fault for not checking it out) Two months later (almost exactly to the day) I’m driving to my first day of work (I had moved from Port St. Lucie, Fl to West Palm Beach, Fl) I stop at a red light hit the gas when it turns green and the car shuts off. I call the dealer and he says ”bummer, you can bring it back to us but we’ll charge you dealer price”. So I take it to a mechanic and he tells me the timing chain broke so I pretty much need a new engine, which is about $3000. Mind you I bought this car on a two year payment plan of $305 a month and 29.35% A.P.R. I need to know is there anything I can do? Don’t I have rights as a consumer? All these monthly payments for a car that I’m not even driving.

Removal of one party from Auto title in Florida
My stepson and myself are on a Florida title for a 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. I am the Primary and he is the secondary and the Title and registration read (My name) OR (then his name). I am also the primary on the contract that he has defaulted on. I have made current all past due balances and the finance company is happy about this. I need his name OFF of the title for insurance reasons. My insurance company requires ALL names on the registration/title to be rated. He has a bad rating and I have a good one. In lieu of making his payments current and avoiding a repo against him, he is willing sign any form necessary to clear his name from the title/registration and forfeit any and all assets that he may have in the car. What are the steps in Florida to make this happen? I am probably trying to make this harder than it really is but any advise would be greatly appreciated. What forms do I need? It seems a BILL OF SALE transfers BOTH me and him to someone else. I want to be the ONLY name on the title!
