The Title of this post should be: NEED Advice Pertaining to a car I sold.

In December of 2010 I sold a car to a woman I knew personally before moving to Washington State. She needed a car, I needed to sell the one I had so it was win win. I typed up an agreement stating I was selling the car as is, listed all things that I knew that was wrong with the car, put in the document the payment plan, kept the title and stated that she would receive it AFTER she was done paying for the car. I sold the car for $800.00 with a down payment of $180.00, then there after for the months of January, February, March she agreed to pay $200.00 with a due date of the 23rd of each month, with the remainder of $20.00 due in April. It is now past the 23rd of February and I have yet to receive any other payment. I have tried to phone her on her cell phone, I have tried to email her, and I have even gone to her facebook page and posted on her wall that she needed to contact me ASAP regarding the car (I did this in a nice way, I was in no way mean), I have not received any form of communication back from her. I need to know what to do next. Do I have the car repo'ed? If so how do I go about doing that? Do I take her to court? I am completely at a loss, not only am I disappointed in her actions, but also angry that it has come to this. Any and all help would be appreciated.

You're screwed. You could pay someone to repossess the car. That, however, will cost you about $500.

The car only sold for $800. Do you see where I'm going? She knows it'll cost you more than that just to get an airline ticket back to TN from WA.

But, if it's principal you want, have a friend snatch the car. Give him $200 to do the deed. It's a REAL win-win that way.
 
Yes, if you have friends family in TN have them repo the car for you- but make sure you research and figure out how to do this the proper way- including notifying law enforcement so the car is not reported stolen.
If you haven't done so, you may want to sent a formal written notice with your intent to repossess the car if payment is not received.
