Assuming you are in MICH (are there any other “Kalamazoo” cities in the US?). Depends on what that one-month warranty says. But if the judge says its enforceable, you may get the cost of repairs back. However, lost wages and so on are harder since they are considered consequential damages and may or may not be covered.

Turning the car in (if you work it out with them) is better than having them repossess it on their own. Still, it should be a last resort. Hard to know what else to say since each situation is different and the laws vary from state to state. Read more

Are you in MICH? If so, you didn’t need a bill of sale. If you are an individual, it was as-is. All my advice above applies. If he keeps bothering you, call the police. Consider getting a personal protection order. Read more

Same advice applies. Go in, be businesslike and see if they will cut you some slack. The construction zone thing is bad - I’ve had that happen before where they think the presence of cones or barrels must mean there are workers present.

I am only licensed in MICH so I cannot help you. But I have encountered this before. Did the seller promise you that the car would pass the inspection in your state? Not every state has inspections. Michigan doesn’t and I’ve never seen a seller promise an out-of-state buyer that the car would pass the inspection in… Read more

You need to consult a local attorney. But you are probably under a legal obligation to notify them that the car is wrecked. And yes, they will probably ask you to pay the full amount now since their collateral is gone. Doublehceck your loan documents and consult a local attorney.

Not sure what state you are in and that matters. In some states, the paper title is not PROOF of ownership - it merely helps show it and notifies the state of who pays the taxes and so on. In other states, it is much more conclusive. But I doubt you can straighten this out in small claims if you want the bike. Most… Read more

Depends on what state you are in but if you read the article above, you’d see that 1) you probably don’t owe him anything and 2) he probably won’t sue you anyway. Read more

Depends on what state you are in and so on but the contract will probably control the outcome of the case. And if you can prove that the breeder cannnot provide what he promised then you might be able to win. It’s a question of how you would prove that.

Depends on what state you are in and how well documented it is that he promised to fix something. That and if that document conflicts with the language on the purchase agreement.

I have no idea. But they obviously had a bad business model.

People can TRY anything. But if you have a good copy of the original and the copy is clearly altered, I would think a judge would see that.

Primarily that it is just a waste of time.

Anyone can sue anyone. I hear about these threats all the time but most people don’t follow through on them. But I’d guess you have a pretty good case and don’t have a lot to worry about. Of course, even if he sues you and you win, it can be a hassle. Good luck.

That is a very tough call. Ignorance of the law is no excuse (which is an adage that people often say becuase it is true). You are presumed to know the law when you drive and if you break the law it’s on you. Read more

Probably. But any time you go to court you don’t know for certain. Read more

Yes and no. The informal hearings often go against the driver simply because they do. In other words, she may lose that and have to appeal it to a formal hearing. Still, it’s worth a shot. Read more

Bank statements don’t show which grade of gas you bought.

Yes, but the point is that the gas station receipt is the best evidence. You won’t automatically lose without it but you would be better off with it. Read more

The receipt will show what kind of gas you bought. If the station sells several grades, then only one tank might be contaminated. The bank receipt won’t show what grade you bought.
