Legal Question in Consumer Law in Michigan

''As-Is''

Long story short I sold a used boat

hoist to someone ''As-Is, no

warranty written or implied''

written on the receipt. Both give

him a copy of the receipt and

emailed him a copy, kept proof of

email in my email account. Guy

uses boat hoist for 1 year and a

part on the hoist breaks. Now is is

telling me he will sue if I don't pay

for the part. The hoist was in

perfect working condition when it

left my home a year ago, if I would

not have sold my own boat I would

be using it. I told him that I felt

that I had no responsibility to pay

for the replacement parts because

it has been a year on an item that

in his own letter to me he states

that he understands that he

bought it used, as-is with no

warranty along with an email he

sent me 4 days after buying hoist

stating ''The hoist works great''.

Now in a second letter he tells me

that he will summons my wife to

testify that I mislead him in the

condition of the hoist. To the

absolute best of my knowledge the

hoist was in perfect working order

when it left, he personally tested

the hoist before he even made an

offer to buy. Please help.

Re: ''As-Is''

I totally agree with Mr. Klisz. He has no case. Tell him that to go ahead and sue and if he does, you will countersue him for filing a frivolous lawsuit. If you need further information, please contact me via my website at www.lawrefs.com.
