sold my car

[White Blue Mushrooms]

There has been a number of issues with the buyer. I know now why they say never sell to friends.

Alright, so my friend decided she wanted to buy my 1995 jeep grand cherokee (it was in good shape) 4x4 for 3,000 even. I got one payment from her in Jan of this year, of 220. I am selling her it for 3,000 we have two bill of sales for the jeep saying she owes me in payments in full 3,000.

So this past month, she hasnt returned my calls, and finally last week she texted me saying she couldnt make a payment, she had bills etc. I let it slid because shes my friend and shes got a new apartment and such.

I am just so sketched out with the none returned phone calls. I saw her last night at a party and she flat out just avoided me. I said hi twice and she acted like I wasnt there, even though she looked me in the eyes.

The down side of things, the DMV here would not issue her tag with out the title being handed over. I appeared with her at the dmv and they told me I had to sign it over, I signed the back of the title. She now pretty much owns the car, and yes my mistake but it wasnt. I made sure that she had to have the title signed over, they wouldnt issue her a tag with out me doing such, because I am not a car dealer, and the state of ga sucks nuts.

So now, this month march she hasnt answered her phone so far. She hasnt replied to two emails sent.

TL;DR:I am wondering what I should do. How would I go about getting my car back, since I am sure I will have to repo it. I dont have a spare, and I feel its pretty much shit out of luck. Should I get the fuzz involved?.

Thanks.

threaten her first with the cops and tell her you're going to press charges and you have a lawyer set up.
she should hand money over
if she doesnt, get the five-oh involved

didn't read the post very well.

get your spare key, go and pick the car up.

don't return her payment of $220.

let her know it was you who took the car.


alternatively report it stolen and give the cops her address. then press charges.

Well it's her car now so there's no criminal complaint that you could make. You can take her to court or at least threaten to. Please tell me you have some agreement in writing? This is why you don't do business with "friends".

I have one agreement signed by me and her, saying the vin mileage and price.

Take her to small claims court, just judge judy that bitch. Isn't it possible to get even more money then, because she made you take her to court to get your money? Not sure...

[Idiot]

sorry man but that car is fucking gone. IF she is a looker see if you can't get a blowjob or some sex outta the deal to make up for the lost cash.














Then say she raped you:D

Find some way of invalidating the contract (agreement) of sale if you can, even by loophole, then do lunch with a small claims lawyer for a bit of advice and a letter from his desk advising her of possible civil court issues.

What, by lack of appropriate consideration perhaps?

[Kwinnie Bogan]

Yeah, I guess.

Maybe his mental processes were impaired at the time. The active ingredient in Dimetap will do that to some people, as will alcohol, several sleepless days, or many other common will do that to you. I'm not the law student here, but I wouldn't go that route first, because it seems like he might run the risk of getting the "Well, that's too bad for you" verdict.

My thinking was something a little different, such as the contract being false and therefore invalid - poor example might be that he agreed to sell the Jeep with xxxxxx number of miles on the odometer, not xxxxxx number of miles which it had at the time of the sale. I doubt that particular example would work, because from my experience that's the buyers call, but there could be something else he could find to make it fukt.

But like I said, I'm not a law student and even if I were his state laws are fucked and I don't know anything about them let alone any way ot guide him to advantage, so I suggest he just see a lawyer. Either way, I rekon if he proves the contract is invaid he'll get his Jeep back, or if it stays valid he should at least be able to get the rest of the money back, since it was in the contract. That's my completely unlearned reckoning.

But I'm not a man of law.

Deviousness

I like your alternate take on things. But the simple fact of the matter is that she has supposedly signed a contract stating she will pay $3000 in consideration for the car, she has paid $200 of that $3000.

She has not completed the consideration component of the contract, thus rendering it void ab initio.

At least, thats my prima facie opinion.

I need to do my contracts reading this week.

Threaten libel action.


But WHY!?

Also, if:

Business with a woman:A bad mistake
Business with a friend:An Epicly stupid mistake

How does conducting the business with a woman who is your friend rate?

Why not...go to her house so she can't avoid you?

Talk it out with her. Tell her that it's not right what she is doing and as much as you'd hate to do it, if she doesn't give you the money then you'll have to take legal action. Explain to her that she shouldn't have bought a car if she couldn't afford it and just because you two are friends doesn't give her any right to ignore and fuck you over like that.

Then, afterward, if she doesn't comply, take her to court. As far as I know, her breaking a contract like that shouldn't pose any problems in court. Was the contact notarized or just a handwritten note?

Selling cars to friends can be bad business but I still say to talk to her in person about it. In the end you might not actually lose your friend and get the money. Although unlikely, I wouldn't want to lose one of my friends just because of one sour deal like this.

I said the business, you pillock.

This is considered theft. If you have a contract with her saying that she WOULD pay in full, then she is stealing and have every right to take your property back. Of course, depending on the contract you may have fucked yourself. You should have stated in the contract that she would pay in full over the course of x amount of months via a payment of x dollars every month. If you didn't say that. Any hack job of a lawyer can play the angle of "well, you didn't specify any scheduled payments, how she would pay you, how much and so forth and so on"
