Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
Can I take a foreign exchange student to small claims court?
I purchased a vehicle from a foreign exchange student. I
bought the vehicle ''as is''. On the next day I was going to get
it smogged but it didn't pass. We agreed on taking it to a
mechanic to take care of the problem ( he paid for it). Since
the check engine light wouldn't come off he gave me a
fraudulent smog report. I accepted it but two days later the
car broke down. Can I sew him for selling me a lemon or
giving me a fraudulent smog certificate? He will be going back
to his home country soon. is there any way I can take him to
court?how would that work?

Anyone in the US can be sued.
Your problem looks like it will be enforcing the judgment.
