My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: wisconsin
Was going to sell a car on craigslist for a few hundred dollars, but was wondering if this could cause potential liability issues after the car was sold. The car needs new struts, bushings on the suspension, tires, and could use exhaust system work and while I'm upfront about all defects I was aware of could I be held responsible should one of these defects cause harm.
In addition to signing the title over, I would have a bill of sale stating "the car was being sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied" and that "once the user leaves with the car I am no longer responsible for the vehicle, which I understand would act as a release of liability until the buyer transfers the title over. In addition, wisconsin requires the seller fill out a seller notification. On top of these would it be advisable to include in the bill of sale a list of all known defects in the car that I was aware of, and how would something like that read?
Wondering if it's worth the hassle or if I should just sell it for scrap. The thing is for the right party it's a great deal, but the last thing I want to do is expose myself to liability over a couple hundred dollars.
