Can you get sued for selling car with damages?

Yes, you can be sued for selling a car with damages if the buyer was not made aware of them before the sale. In most jurisdictions, sellers have a duty to disclose any known defects in a car before selling it. If a buyer later discovers a problem that was not disclosed, they may have grounds to sue the seller for fraud, misrepresentation, or breach of contract.

To avoid being sued, it's important to be honest with potential buyers about any known issues with a car before selling it. This can be done by providing a written disclosure statement that lists all of the known defects. If there are any major problems that could affect the safety or drivability of the car, it's also a good idea to have the car inspected by a qualified mechanic before selling it. This will help to protect both the seller and the buyer from any potential legal problems.
