I sold my car last week. First car I ever sold. It was a very quick sell, he basically checked it out for 10 minutes, drove it round the block and decided to buy it. I got the cash, and the buyer drove off with my car and the papers, promising to change the registration to his name today.
However, I got a call from him this morning, and he is refusing to change the ownership to his name! He claims that he's found problems with the transmission, and he won't change the registration until he gets the car fixed this friday.
I've driven this car for a year and it's never given me any problems, and it was recently serviced a month ago.
My question is, is this some kind of scam that I should be aware of?? I mean, I've got the money, he's got my car. I've contacted the vehicle registration centre and they have put the car "temporarily" under his name (they need him to sign some papers and sight his ID b4 it can be confirmed).
Does he have the right to return the car and get his money back??
What else should I do??
Thanks! I'm desperate for some advice...
