What is the outcome on this deal. Doing a title search shows a prior lein that may have never been cleared but that lein holder wrote it off. I think this may have come up in your talks with him??? Did the lein ever get paid? IF not care to say why. The car was used a good faith to pay back a loan.
This whole thing just does not add up. To many questions, why did he leave with a car that was not paid for? Why would he have $13,000 to $14,000.00 on him drive that far only to be short $1,000.00 ????
What time did he get to your house to pick up the car???? Did you give him a set time Before 7 am after 6 pm???
Folded page none folded paper both equals a agreement to sell something and a agreed price. By law... Now selling a car and not provding a title means to some point you do still own the car but he does have a legal interest in it showing part ownership. What this means is... if the owner of the car takes it out on the road and kills someone with it guess what YOU are also liable for his actions. Why? you ask. Well the fact that you never went to your DMV and had the car signed over in the legal world to him. You may think signing it over to them or a bill of sale is good but it does not enter it into the DMV world.
I wonder why people think the cops are on one side or the other. What you are saying is that out of the 50,000 plus people in his home town the cops like and pic him. This is 2009 not 1930's Mayberry. The law is the law like it or not.
If you think you have full rights to the car drive down and call the state police... and repo your car. I can tell you this it's not going to happen. You signed a paper and gave him the car. Sorry but you also have made many bad statements about him and his bussiness when what you have is a civil case at best. Now when people do this and it cost people money the law has means of dealing with this as well. If he can show you cost him money because of your writen word you could end up owing him money.
I read so many of these reports on this site and wonder why people think that because they did not do the right thing they want someone to clean up the mess. Take ownership of your actions and stand up for what you feel is right. File a court case if your 100% sure you will win and get your $1,000.00 but be ready to provide a clear title.
People jump on here and say yeah he sold me a junk motor... did you check it out before you took it??? NO??? Why not. It's you hard earned money your handing over.
You know if he takes that Bill of Sale to GA they will give him a title if the vin number checks clear and no Lein on it. If it has an outstanding lein he will have to pay it off before the title will be issued.
I do not have a dog in this fight and how every it ends it ends but just because one person make the choice to stop posting I do not see that as guilty. I let the writen and spoken word make up my mind.
I do bring to the table over 20 years of investigation work with me and can tell everyone this.... this just does not add up.
