Re: Buying a used car

You probably did not get anything in writing from the seller, and therefore your only recourse will be to file suit against them to force them to either take the car back or repair it. Under your oral agreement, it is their responsibility to get the car fixed. Take the car yourself to a reputable mechanic and get the price for repair. That is the amount you will have to sue them for in court - probably small claims court, which you can do your self.
