Hello,
Over a year ago I sold my friend my car in Oregon, because I was leaving for college in Hawaii. I didn't have him sign any document saying he would pay me the sum, I just trusted our friendship, having been friends with him since we were children. I left to Hawaii with only his word that he would pay me the 1500 we agreed upon, 200 of which he has paid to date. There is no record of the transaction, however all of our mutual friends are well aware of the agreement. Furthermore, I can get him to openly acknowledge the fact that he owes me money. I can do this through email, chat, phone conversations, and in person. He always gives the same response, that he'll give me the money as soon as he gets it, followed by sob story about how difficult the times are for him right now.
I have offered to simply take the car back since he obviously lacks the money to pay me, but he says "No. I need it." I signed the title over to him, so the car is his, legally.
Is there anyway I can legally get my car back through courts, given that I can get him to admit that he owes me the money, and that I have multiple witnesses that will testify to the fact?
Thank you.
