As long as you didn't warranty the car, or hid defects, you are in the power position in Michigan. Used cars are sold as-is. If you do get sued, contact me at kliszlaw.com for representation. Tim Klisz
As a Franchise Attorney I basically agree with the other attorney. Also, it's always a good idea to have "sold as is" on the bill of sale, as well as another statement that the buyer has had the opportunity to take the vehicle to an automatic mechanic. These acknowledgments will short circuit many, many problems. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
