Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
My boyfriend purchased a used car from a dealership in Winter Park. The car came as is no warranty. Two hours after leaving the lot the car broke down and had to be towed the remainder of the way home. We contacted the owner of the dealership who stated that we should have the car towed back to the dealership and he would either fix it there or cover the costs of repair. We did not get this in writing, but have several witnesses to the verbal agreement. The day we took the car there, he changed his mind and stated he didn't know what was wrong with it and he wasn't going to pay for it. We took the car to Sport Mitsubishi the same day and after a full diagnostic, they stated that the issues with the car were long term and that the selling dealership would have known about them prior to selling the car. Right now we are trying to figure out what if anything we can do in regards to the dealership. Since the date of the sale, they have failed to provide the title of the car or the registration, both of which they stated would be mailed to our home. Can someone please advise us to what our options are, if any? Thank you!

as is means as is. You should have checked out the car before you bought it.
The car was sold to you as-is. You have no recourse when you purchase something as-is and then it breaks.
As for the registration and title, they will come in the mail. You didn't say how long it has been since you bought the car, but it can take a couple of weeks to receive them.
