If you sell a car and the vehicle dies who is liable? I get calls and meet people asking this question frequently. Many times the vehicle selling people may be difficult to collect even if they are totally mislead the buyer to unload their lemon car. One would have to get a attorney and suit the seller. Figure minimum of $2000 or more. What a waste of time and energy. Make sure and have the car checked out. If the seller will not allow this, there is an issue somewhere. The liablility to handle a check engine light or worse a broke down car is going to fall upon the car buyer. A good dealership like Sims Car Mall checks out their cars in a certain price range, and are happy to provide you a evaluation report. Further they are happy to allow a outside inspector check the vehicle. You want a dealer that cares and wants your business in the future.
If some misleading seller reset the check engine light or some other light just to mislead you that it was in good working order. In Cleveland Ohio a proper emissions is required to get plates every couple years. We are actually in Cuyahoga county which determines that people need that test. Other states like Pennsylvania and Maryland are even stricter with their regulations. In conclusion, if you buy a car in Clevealnd, Oh and it needs a successful emissions test to obtain lisence plates. The plates are a necessity.
Even at Cash for Car Store and Carmax (who looks at many cars daily) they check out the cars and they are experts.
