[va] Private Car Sale, Buyer Now Wants To Undo Sale

Card image cap

Location: Virginia

Hi all,
Made a private car sale on a specific platform, my listing included all of the upkeep that was done as well as the cosmetic imperfections. The buyer asked a questions in chat and in person and had the chance to inspect and test drive the car, even noting an oil leak that was news to me. Buyer gave an offer the same day and offer was agreed upon 2 days later. Finalized sale 5 days after agreement and signed title and all shop records over for cash.

10 days after the sale, buyer messaged me to take the car back saying there was "misrepresentation" and evidence of "prior knowledge" of rust, collision damage, and high oil consumption rate. All things that were either addressed in the listing or in chat or in person. I declined and the buyer then threatened to have a lawyer contact me. I blocked the buyer already.

I did my best to describe everything about the car and gave the all of the supporting paperwork for a 26yr old car at the sale. Does the buyer have any real legal case here? I haven't been reached out to yet.
