It’s always a concern to let someone drive off in the car you just sold them. They MIGHT handle it properly but if they run someone over and kill them before it’s titled to them, you will likely get sued. You could win that suit but it’ll be a pain. Read more

Yes and no. If they are wrong, it might be something you’d have to litigate. Meaning: File a lawsuit. Is it winnable? Possibly. Is it worth suing over? Depends on how good the case is and whether you can recoup your attorney’s fees and court costs.

I can’t imagine why they’d not want to meet in a public place like that. But people are weird. Who knows?

Depends on what state you are in. In MICH, that would possibly be worth pursuing, depending on how much the car cost. The issue always is that the mileage “mistakes” seem to always favor the dealers. Hmmmmm.

It’s going to hinge on what the document you signed (at the time you dropped off the amp) says. I suspect it says you are out of luck. I’ve had similar issues with the Postal Service but they are a Federal agency so they have better protection. Do you have the original bill of lading or whatever it is called? Read more

This is interesting because it has nothing to do with Montana law. It has to do with TX law. I don’t know what that says but I do know from experience that CA and MI both have timeframes within which new residents are required to get new plates. Many people ignore the law to save money (someone I knew drove with MI Read more

Most people place more value on a privately owned vehicle than one being sold by a dealer. (Hint: That’s why dealers run this scam.)

One claim in particular was a dentist suing his patient in Small Claims. The guy refused to pay. So the defendant (patient) comes in and turns out to be well-spoken and articulate and he shows me how the dentist botched some dental work which he then had to go get a second dentist to fix. Some of the details are hazy Read more

I have starred your comment for obvious reasons.

Sounds like a decent argument to me. Try it and see what happens. And if you lose I’d strongly suggest you take it up a level. Why not.

Not sure which specific issues you are referring to. If you bought a car that way and the title showed a lien, the lien would not be affected by your document. The lien is between the other parties and if they could simply sign it away like that then the lien would have no value. Read more

Explain to me how I could coherently discuss the concept of “loud” WITHOUT mentioning the Allman Brothers.

I thought most states required you to get some kind of permit to allow you to drive unlicensed with a licensed driver. But if he was licensed in another state, don’t most states simply allow you to walk in and take a written test for the license? I haven’t taken a driving test since I was 16 and I’ve been licensed in Read more

Those are evidence. If someone chooses to believe them is the question. I know for a fact that there are guys who will help you fake all of those things.

That could work. The real issue always is what your home state thinks of this. Remember that while you know the facts of what you have done, they do not. So when you show up with a Montana-registered vehicle, they might assume you are doing the scam described in the article. You can then explain what you did. Who Read more

One way to do it is to contact a local attorney and have them go in for you. It CAN be done but it might cost you.

You plead not responsible. They will set a court date. You show up at that and talk to the prosecutor and see if they will cut you a deal.

That is exactly what you do. You’re not going to argue and say it didn’t happen (which is hard to do since you hit the other car). You just go in and try to make them see how important it is to you get those points removed. The clean record you had is actually something that can work in your favor.
