okay so heres the story. my boyfriend, who is 18 just bought a car off of someone a few days ago. the 24th of feburary. around 12:00 noon of that day he had the title transfered from the previous owners name to my boyfriends mothers name,and also got insurance for this car. the next day we were driving around and smoke started coming out from under the hood.we were lucky enough to have a friend with us that went to machanic school for 4 years and knows alot about cars,we were able to get it under control then for about another half hour till it started again,and the next day it continued to smoke off and on. my boyfriend then went to the guys house who sold it to him with all of the problems and the guy said there was nothing he could do about it,called my boyfriend an idiot numerous times,and had an excuse for everything wrong with the car. He also told my boyfriend and his mother the day they were at the notarty that there was nothing wrong with the car at all,untill he was at his house and then he decided to tell him that the 4 wheel drive dosnt work,theres a "trick" with the ac and heating,and some other things.and now today,the car will not start. it starts up for about 10 seconds then shuts right back off. my boyfriends family is thinking of something to do to hopefully get my boyfriends money back and return the car. my boyfriend gave him 600 upfront for the vehical and still owes him 400. but the previous owner said he still expects his money monthly.He does not know the car is not working now. So my point of this question is...is there any law that we could maybe pull on this guy to show him it is not fair of him to do this. he lied from the first day and said the car is fine,which it clearly is not,my boyfriend had it looked at by an ex machanic who said it would cost him about 5,000 dollars to fix everything wrong with it. i heard there is a law about something that if you sell a used car to someone it has to work for a certain amount of days,is that true? or does anyone have any other information we could use? i greatly appreciate anything. thanks in advance. =]
