Three months ago I initiated a used vehicle purchase from some people I found on Craigslist.com. I purchased a 1991 F250 for $300 a month, 22 months. The bill of sale
states "AS IS". I repeatedly told the owners, I need a daily driver. They told me the truck was excellent, their son drives it daily. They also told me the clutch was new. Three months later, two days ago, the clutch blew out. I had a mechanic come to the location and check it, and he decided to look over the rest of the truck. Oil is the airfilter compartment, crack manifolds on both sides, exhaust not attached properly. I also had to replace both battery cables, the starter cylenoid, and the starter. (those were last month). Now I told them I wasn't against buying an older vehicle and putting a little money here and there in it but I needed payments for a reason. I was quoted $900 + to fix the clutch. Is there anyway out of this contract?
PS. i'm holding the title and he didn't fill out the lien holder area... does that give me any leverage?
