If it was me I might just buy it back at a lower price and sell it again to someone else. No warranty means no refund but you could name your price.

That is funny you brought up his friend as a lawyer because that's what he told me. His close friend is a lawyer and I need to answer his calls. I tried offering to buy it for less but he won't so now I will just wait and see if he was bluffing. He told me he has a video with the noise but won't send it to me because his "lawyer" advised him not too. I have stopped talking to him so hopefully things will be over.

Funny thing, I actually have a cousin who is a lawyer. Out of state, so never have contacted him about legal stuff.

From what I can tell, he has a lot of nice stuff. Something tells me he got that by looking after his interests more than his clients.


Might want to tell the guy you checked with a lawyer friend and he said harassment charges seem to be more in order.

We agreed on the price and exchanged the title and cash. The next day he texts me and asks about a noise in the engine. It has a bunch of engine work, hot cam, bigger piston, higher compression etc. I tell him it is the cam and I have talked to hot cams as well as other forums and it is normal tick with there stage 3 cam. A couple days later he now wants to return it because he says it is a problem and I mislead him by not telling him about it. It is normal so why would I say anything. I do not want it back but he is threatening to sue. He says ibwas hiding it by not lettijg him ride it and meeting at a gas station. He never objected or asked to ride it. Does he have anything on me or is it sold as is?
You stated above that the buyer started the ATV briefly. When you/he started it....it had no noise.....but now it does?

The whole situation just sounds like the buyer is trying to scam you. In reality, with no warranty all sales are final. He probably just had buyer's remorse about spending the money and/or his wife may have chewed him out for buying it. That might be the real reason he's trying to get his money back. In reality there might be nothing wrong with it he just feels he made a mistake in spending the money on an atv. It also sounds like he wasn't really sure of what he was getting as obviously with custom engine work it will sound different than with a stock engine. Stock is always quieter than modified.
