Legal action

ESOX · 11-04-2009, 08:40 PM

I agree, call a lawyer. The buyer beware principle is largely in effect here, but it seems like such a sad state of affairs when there doesn't seem to be anything you can do when you get screwed-over by some jackazz who is probably trying to support a drug habit or something. Not that it matters but, my morbid curiosity is getting the better of me...what was the vehicle and how much did you pay?. Money seems to be tight all-over but I would be inclined to go to small claims as suggested earlier just to make his life as uncomfortable and inconvenient as I could!...............or go with the 'magnum' approach (wine or gun...you choose)

The sticker might be missing from the door because the vehicle was in an accident,,,those stickers can't be reproduced..The vin. still should be on the lower left of the windshield.That has to be there.I can't believe you need a sticker on the door to get plates.Being a Autobody tech. myself if we change a door those stickers get tossed with the door,if you try to peel them off,they have lines that go across to make them unreadable.Good luck,i would call a lawyer or may be a cop if you know one good enough..The cop might be able to put a scare into the person........Worked for me at one time

thanks guys

, the guys name is mark jacobsen, he is from red deer. the vehicle is 86 astro that i should have known better than to buy, it cost 1600, now that may not be much but i kinda need it for a winter vehicle which this was going to be. the guy told me that the vehicle and i have it all in writing, i also have emails from him that contradict other emails he sent me at first so im hoping i can get my money back

Sorry but i've got to, HOW could you buy something like that omg I wouldn't be caught dead near that thing......And illegal exhaust? Seems like common sense to me that if stacks are functional they ain't legal.

You pretty much screwed though, unless he is willing to take it back. From a legal standpoint you have absolutely nothing to stand on. If you sue someone wrongfully it will cost you in a countersuit.

With tires like that that is just what I would buy for a winter vehicle

You are screwed

funtimes · 11-04-2009, 10:11 PM

I feel sorry for you man. I hope you get something back from the guy...But I have to ask as well !!!! You seriously bought that !!!

Call a lawer, or talk to the RCMP. Someone might be able to give you some advice on what to do.

ZEDNECK · 11-04-2009, 10:30 PM

Ohh!!! hee hee hee! It's pretty cute. I think it would be a chick magnet... maybe a cougar magnet because of the room for the kids, but it's freakin cute!

I hope you find resolution.

They dont allow chick magnet vehicles in Saska Bush, they have to be genuine Saskatchewan seal skins seats for that.

blastoff · 11-04-2009, 10:54 PM

Honestly I think your hooped as far as getting your money back, there should a VIN # in the glove box also. I have never heard of not being able to reigister a unit because of no door tag.

Summitric · 11-04-2009, 10:57 PM

As a master ase automotive technician and auto repair shop owner, i see this quite often...... Yes, you should have had a vehicle inspection before you purchased the vehicle, and done a lein check...... There should be a serial # on the driver's side lower corner of the windshield(as well as the door/pillar serial # tag, that is apparently missing)....if it's not there either, then the vehicle might be stolen. I would then contact the rcmp to further any possibility of getting your money back. We see vehicles coming in all the time, where the seller has told the buyer that the vehicle would pass a safety with no problem, and we would find a lot of obvious problems wth the vehicle!!!
If nothing else, then contact a lawyer and consider litigation...

On a side note, i think its kinda cool........ The transformer van.... It must be mini optimus prime...........
