Legal Question in Consumer Law in Iowa
Long story short, I bought a vehicle from a guy nearly a year ago with a bill of sale and promise to send me a replacement ASAP.
On the bill of sale it says nothing about the title being salvaged, I will be finally getting the title from having to pretty much harass this guy since I bought it for the title, I'm guessing it being salvaged was the problem.
I want to take this to a small claims court because the vehicle was bought for the listed $5000 limit.
I need to sell the car and because of the salvage title I've been getting offers of half of what its worth.
I plan on having an attorney present.
I did ask him if it was a clean title and was told yes, but it was through e-mail and I no longer have the e-mails since he was evading me for so long, I know this won't help.
Do I have a case here that I have a good chance of winning?
Thank You.

Your argument is that you bought a car, you found out after the sale that it had a salvage title, and you're thinking you got ripped off. You've got nothing to lose by going to small claims court.
