I know, I know, dont do business with family. I learned the hard way.
Onto my problem....
My friend bought a car, that didnt run right, and needed some work. He fixed it up with the intention of selling it, not keeping it. It was never registered.
So, through me, he found a buyer in a family member of mine.
Now, from here, Im not sure where things went wrong, but they apparently went really wrong.
I havent gotten the complete story yet, because now both parties are peeved at me.
What I can figure out, its that at some point, the previous owner of the car let her insurance lapse at some point. Well, apparently, my sister was driving, and ended up getting ticketed and issued a court appearance, which she says has something to do with the insurance lapse.
What is going on here? The title was "apparently" free and clear. Can back fines from the previous owner catch up to the new owner somehow? Im still trying to figure this out myself, since both parties are too mad at me, and at each other to talk sensibly.
Anyone have some thoughts? Did DMV somehow flag this VIN because of the insurance lapse, and if so, how is it the new owners fault?
