Man sells his car on Facebook Marketplace but gets sued 3 months later by the woman who bought it, turns to the Reddit community for legal advice
Buying and selling second-hand goods can be a good way to find a bargain, but there are also pitfalls you’ll need to avoid. An accurate description of the item’s condition can go a long way to avoiding buyer/seller disappointment. A bit of, though, things turned sour just three months after he sold his vehicle to a woman via Facebook marketplace.
OP also never gave the buyer a warranty, nor stopped her from having the car checked out by a mechanic before she bought it. As far as OP understands it, all private deals are considered “as is”. Now he’s asking Reddit whether or not he can counter-sue her for damages and time spent away from his job as a road cargo van driver while he’s stuck in court.
The article goes on to say that the legal term “as is” means that you are purchasing a car — or any item — in its current condition at the time of the sale. In addition, it means the car is being sold without any warranty coverage. As the buyer, you accept that repairs may be necessary now or in the future and that the seller is not responsible for making or paying for these repairs.
This all seems to suggest that OP isn’t to blame in this situation. What do you think of OP’s predicament? Is he in the right or the wrong, here? Let us know in the comments!
