i put 1300 down on a 2001 mustang. 300 cash and 1000 check. the check was returned due to bank error. i paid the 1000 in cash plus a nsf fee. 18 days after buying the car, the motor blew. i bought the car as is, but when i told the dealer he said to have it towed to the dealership and he would have it repaired, so i did.
after the car was repaired the dealer says that i cant have the car back unless i pay half the cost of the repairs. all of this happened thursday, and he says if i dont bring him $800, which is half the repair cost, by monday, he is going to sell the car.
it isnt financed through a finance company, its in house financing, and i have receipts for what i have paid and i have the contracts. is it legal for him to hold the car? can he sell it just like that?
