Default Re: Car for Sale Misrepresentation

I was having a hard time with this one. So many things are subjective on these old cars, and one mans standards can be way different than another's.

The ad being deleted was my first hmmmmm moment.

However, when the OP stated that he had picture proof that the carb that he was shown pictures of on the car was not the carb that came on the car, that was a clincher for me.

To swap out ANY parts after a car is sold, for any reason, and not get buy in from the new owner is downright fraud in my book.

To the OP.... My opinion is that the clutch, seat and leaks are all items that you would have a hard time suing the seller over. Even the possible valve issues as he could say the car was fine when it left.

I would recommend that if you indeed have photo evidence of a carb swap out, and you felt it justified to go after the seller, that you use the fraud of swapping parts as the reason.

It will cost you more in stress, money and time however than just fixing the small items, even if you have to ship the car to a big city to have the work done.

I am sure the mopar guys here can point you in the right direction.
