And they were a stranger (not a friend or family), would you still offer to help fix or work on the car after selling it if something went wrong? Or do you feel that once it has a new owner, its out of your hands and you're done with it? I dont mean buy stuff for the owner...I mean actually work on it with them.

It'd have to be worth it, like if it was an engine swapped car that you knew all the ins and outs of... then maybe. But in 90% of cases, no.

caveat emptor. exchange cash at their bank where they just withdrew it in front of you, and tell them have a nice life.

As-is, signed waiver, with all the important stuff like "needs 04 Kia spectra front rotors and 2002 XG350 pads up front" on a nice sheet of paper.

More of that "Christian compassion" for you.



I wouldn't necessarily help them work on it, but if they had questions about some custom work that I had done to it (i.e. swapped parts etc) I would be more than happy to help answer questions about it.

Christian compassion indeed! It's got nothing to do with selling a used car but thanks for dragging the subject up again. Maybe YOU have time to spoon-feed a new owner something they should be paying $60/hr for, but I certainly don't. A compaaaaaasionate seller would have disclosed everything about all custom parts and work at the time of sale. What does it say about YOUR compassion as a seller that you would think a buyer would not be satisfied with your original disclosures? Hmm? HMMMM?



Ad hominem attacks: last refuge of the scoundrel.

What!? Does anybody on this site think his question of my compassion makes any sense at all?



In my post I didn't assume or "think a buyer would not be satisfied with your original disclosures?" I simply said that "I wouldn't necessarily help them work on it, but if they had questions about some custom work that I had done to it (i.e. swapped parts etc) I would be more than happy to help answer questions about it."



I would think/assume that my answer IS, at least slightly, more compassionate then " tell them have a nice life."



Believe me I am no scoundrel, and I have not reached my last resort in dealing with the likes of you.
