All you need is a strong local attorney that has contract law experience. I don't think he needs to know squat about cars. I do think that you should move quickly if you want the car.

You have a great case on your hand !! He cashed your check, he done's and could owe you three times the amount if he sells the car to someone else. Need to prove its worth to a lawyer.
Sorry to hear this !!

[/ QUOTE ]In Florida Rich is right, especially about the triple award, however another state might be another issue... on the outside chance he is working another deal, after he cashed your check, then he's guilty of a felony for selling the same car twice if he cashed the other deposit check...that's jail time if he doesn't consumate the deal with you. It doesn't matter if it's a car, boat, plane, tonka toy, Barbie doll or real estate, it's REAL property. Very smart of you to do the addnedum notes on the check... go after it, I would, and he will be forced (depending on the state) to pay any and all court costs and legal fee's on both sides of the argument.

As I always understood things, a verbal contract especially w/ documents to support it is VERY strong...unless a written one was done after it which would then make the verbal one dead! .

If you really want the car, it's HAMMERTIME!!! .
Get a Lawyer on it NOW...review the deal and if there's a provision for a closing date, proceed as so! .
I'd consider giving (in writing) the seller ONE opportunity of completing the deal without laying legal costs on him...but stating he will be responsible for legals costs and more if he choses to not close the deal or make his intensions to proceed clearly known immediately! .

Best of luck!!! .

If the seller cashed a deposit check, that seems to acknowledge a deal, written or verbal. I am not a lawyer but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last year.

send cousin Vinnie to get the car.
