Paid 1000 cash and had him put gift on title. Went to dmv to register it... Got told it was in non opt.. And I had to smog to register OT... No problem. Went to smog can't pass because of check engine light... Great!! Had a bunch of sensors replaced the rack and pinions replaced blah blah all about 800 worth of crap... Still refused to pass. Went back to the guy who. Sold me the car and he says he never sold it he was a middle parhe the car was parking in front of his lot and he just happened to have the title. I'm not gonna keep dumping. Money into this car and it's not passing smog. I can't even sell it because I have no Smog certificate to give the buyer. What should I do? I know if I go to small claims I can't get my 1000 back because theres no proof I paid cash esp since he wrote gift on the title
And on the title and Bill of sale there is no NON opt crap or no Parts sale crap either.

You state that you are complicit in sales tax evasion which is a crime. Given that poor choice, maybe you should not be complaining.
