Need suggestion on what to do?? sell gone bad...

Get car, or money back. I would tell him you want the rest of the down and to make a legit contract or you are notifying the police.

The guy isnt going to sign a contract after the fact and the only interest the police will have is if the car is in his name and you attempt to get it without proper seizure docs.

OP, why didn't you tell the guy to take out a loan? Bad decision on OP's part.

[IRON-E]

I agree with the responses, I'm not taking sides either.

Regardless if you can't afford something don't buy it.

This. No excuses, stories, or bullshit. Hope you can get this handled OP

Some lessons cost more then others.

I know both parties and I feel for both, I hope everything works out in the end. I praise the seller for his good natured intentions, but I also know of the hardships the buyer has gone through.

Good luck guys.

I do not think that there should be any sympathy for the buy when it comes to payments. They made a deal and he needs to live up to it.

You can feel bad for him for the other hardhips, but he needs to pay.

Regardless if you can't afford something don't buy it.

Get your car back.

What if something happens to the car? Now your out a car and your cash.

If your payment "contract" doesn't meet these six requirements you may be screwed.

1. Agreement- which requires offer and acceptance.
2. Considerations- money.
3.Capacity to contract- Must not be minor, insane or intoxicated.
4.Genuineness of Assent- intention of both parties when contract was entered into.
5. Lawful purpose- must be for legal use in order to be a valid contract or enforceable contract.
6. Lawful Form- if the law requires it to be in writing it must be.

If it does, take him to court and get the money he owes you.

should have done payments an kept car till all paid then the kid could have taken it.

+1, this would have made life MUCH easier for you. Especially if you make payments non refundable. I've done this with a few minor items (never a whole car) and it works out nicely in the end.

Well OP, that was dumb.

[5ickride]

U messed up, shoulda kept the title. Also, i would never ever ever ever realease something without full payment. I dont care what sob story he gives you.

Get ur car back.

[glucklich21]

This is quite common down here when dealing with not so "financially inclinded" individuals, AKA everyone on CL. Which is why you will read in CL ads "CASH UPFRONT, NO PAYMENTS". Call the police and get your car back, I hope you kept the title.
