We sold a used car to someone, nothing wrong with it as far as we know. We owned the car for 5 years. Had minor repairs thorough out the years. The new owner drove it , looked at the interior, motor etc. She left with the car running fine, no problems. Now car has left her stranded (only after purchasing a few hours ago) They are calling us saying they want the money back. What are our legal options?
Optional Information: Country relating to Question: United States State (if USA): Louisiana Already Tried: Nothing, just the buyer has called us twice saying they bought a bad car and want us to refund the money.
Hello,Thank you for using JA. When a used car is sold, unless the seller gives some type of written warranty for the vehicle, then the vehicle is sold "as is". The buyer takes the vehicle as it sits, defects and all. It is the buyer's responsibility to inspect the vehicle and ensure it is mechanically sound prior to purchasing. After the purchase, they own it and any problems that come with it..So seller is under no legal obligation to cancel the sale and refund any money..

Thanks.
