Hi Experts,
I agreed to purchase a 2nd hand car from an individual – Mr V for 8. lacs. I transferred the full amount in September by taking a personal loan. After a week of transfer Mr V informed that car got damaged by a customer (he rented out the car in Zoomcar) and that he will fix it and give to me. I agreed trusting him. By now he had transferred the car ownership to my name. It had some major issues in engine and the mechanic changed the parts and whatnot. However, even now car is not fixed and not in running condition. Now it’s in another mechanic shop and they are saying clutch has to be replaced. Mr V is now asking me to take care of the repair works while he is out of station. All these months he had been dragging this and now I don’t want to continue with this deal as I lost all faith and also I feel car may have other issues.
I want to know my legal options. Can I involve a lawyer and take legal action? I paid 44k in interest alone and I want to know if I can sue him for 8 lacs + interest I paid.
