Posted on Feb 07, 2010 under snowmobile motor |

when he bought the sled it ran fine, he took it for a ride and he had no complaints. the next day he said it went 4 miles then smoked a pistion and wants me to pay for the repairs. The sled was sold as is and had good compression when i sold it to him. Am i responsible for the rapairs.

Unless you gave him a written warranty (and you say it was sold as is, so that would not apply) he has no claim against you. You sold him the snowmobile as is, and he now has to pay for any and all repairs.

Tell him to enjoy HIS snowmobile. You owe him nothing. If he paid you by check, and you have not yet deposited it, take it to his bank first thing in the morning and get cash. If he stopped payment on the check, have him arrested for theft.

Do not pay for any repairs, tell him that the deal is over.

    If you sold it as is, then you are not responsible for anything.

    Do ask him if he enjoyed the four miles he got out of HIS snowmobile…

    Tell him to go pound sand. You have no way of knowing how he took care of it. As is means as is. The sled belonged to him when he blew the engine.

    No, you are not responsable. If you said it was as is and didnt tell him you would give back the money if something happened, then tell him to go screw himself.
