Can I sell a vehicle as is in Massachusetts?
I recently sold an SUV in MA. When I owned the car it failed safety inspection because there was no tailpipes coming out the muffler. There was roof damage as well. I told him about any and all problems and all he cared about was a sound engine and tranny, which it had.
2 days later he calls me up and says the exhaust fell off and car is lopsided??? now he wants his money back.
my question is , if I sold it "AS IS" and specified all known probs, and he still agreed to buy it, am I required to give a refund??
Im told by some that "AS IS" has me covered because he knew about the problems, and im told by others that MA law says it MUST pass inpection within 7 days regardless what condition I sold the vehicle. Im worried, because I no longer have the money he gave me.
and btw, the car was def NOT a piece of crap, it was a daily driver for me until I sold it, and now this is turning into a headache. and if i take it back, its in worse condition than when i sold it. HELP!?
Also, I gave him the inspection sheet from when I went to get it inspected. It stated that it ONLY NEEDED a tailpipe after the muffler (failed visual safety).
It also passed emissions with flying colors. He read the sheet and had no problems with it.
One more thing, how do I know this guy didnt go off roading with it, now its lopsided and the exhaust broke off from the cat back (he said the weld broke off), how do i know im not getting scammed here??
The Massachusetts Lemon Aid Law allows you to void or cancel a motor vehicle contract or sale if your vehicle fails to pass inspection within seven days from the date of sale AND if the estimated costs of repairs of emissions or safety related defects exceed 10% of the purchase price. (M.G.L. c. 90 §7N) This law applies to both dealer and private party sales of cars and motorcycles purchased for personal or family use. Dealers must display your Lemon Aid rights by putting a sticker on the left front window of each used car at the time of delivery

If "AS-IS" is clearly stated on the bill of sale, he's screwed.
