Bought a car, seller now wants more money?
I bought a car for my wife (Ford Fiesta) and the seller said the control light was on and it had no power. I inspected the car and saw the fault. I closed the hood and paid 800 euros with a contract and saw everything as purchased with no guarantee! A week went by. I got license plates and picked it up. I opened the hood, plugged the MAF back in and attached the license plates. It started and the fault was gone. I wished the seller's wife a nice day, but the lady didn't want to let me drive off because she thinks the car isn't defective without the light in the cockpit and it costs 1200 euros. I just drove off. Now two days later my husband calls me and says the car wasn't defective because his wife had already repaired it without his knowledge. To my question – when we inspected the car together it was defective and the contract was signed… now it's mine… the answer was: if you add another 400 euros it's yours, otherwise his lawyer will declare the contract invalid and the car will supposedly be returned… – I simply hung up… I just got a text message saying that the lawyer has written me a letter alleging fraud and that I should now think about how I'm going to travel on public transport in the future! Do I have to worry about anything?

do not put pressure on you, what is in the contract the judge will judge in your favor, should it come to what is very unlikely.
You have bought the car as described (Defekt) and seen, at the time of handover it was DEIN car (because already paid) and of course your good right was to make the car ready (before the ride should always check his car, exactly that you did), you could also have let it pick up from the car maker, it was and is DEIN car, can do what you want with it.
Hello Meferro,
That sounds like you’re completely right.
Significant is that the lawyer (?) writes to you that you can drive by public transport soon. No serious lawyer works with such threats.
Just don’t react, I suggest.
Purchased as seen = sold as seen. You don’t have to worry about it. He set the price himself and offered you that way. You have accepted = binding contract.
That’s what every lawyer would say. Otherwise, I don’t think there’s any lawyer on this. If that were the case, the dealer wouldn’t talk to you by SMS, but let his lawyer do it. Those who thrive like this, just bubble, hoping he’ll intimidate you. Just write that you gave it to your lawyer and that you will only communicate about the lawyers. Then there’s a quick rest.
PS: a lawyer only regulates civil matters, the police are responsible for fraud. Another hint that the seller is just spinning around here
They’re too stupid for you to wait until tomorrow! Instead, this gimple claims that he would have put his lawyer on you this Sunday! God is embarrassing! 🤦 ♀️😂
What’s in the purchase agreement regarding the defect?
What does ‘without warranty’ mean? You can’t exclude them, you can’t give them.
Defect has been held and sold without any warranty as it is a private sale. As it is seen, both parties are sold in agreement, and then we signed it!
Then you got exactly what you agreed in the purchase agreement.
The fact that you repaired the car after the purchase, and with what effort, does not interest the seller. At that time it wasn’t his car anymore.
I would ignore the news of the seller and a lawyer, if there were any. What they write is without concern.
You only have to respond to a court order.
Even then there is a contract of purchase via a defective car. If the woman thinks to have repaired the car without your consent (who does that?), she has acted autonomously. You don’t have to pay.
But the seller claims that his own wife (which apparently had forgotten this at the time of handover) has repaired the car by hand and without his knowledge before hand but after payment. ROFL….
Nowadays it is always threatened with fraud, a proper disease. Here the paragraph: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__263.html
Relax, there was a handover and ready. And if the plaintiff has to teach evidence for a fraud. This is necessarily the intention to proceed with fraud.
Where are you going?
What fraud should be present at all?
Very dubious seller. He’s never gonna turn on a lawyer, he’s bubbling. Ignore. Evtl himself threatened with an ad for fraud.
Then wait until the letter is in your mailbox. There’s no going to come. Purchased as seen, you have the car and the papers, paid and is good.
simply ignore — “because of fraud” sounds extremely unbelievable, as you did not have an active part in the description.
