bought the car, gave $1000 cash deposit and $6000 check, he gave me the title and changed the price to $1750. he only gave me a receipt for my deposit nothing with the total $7000. its salvage. is it because he knows there are more damages to the vehicle and isn't worth alot and if i find out something wrong which fortunately i did, he can just say he sold it to me for little price?

Your cancelled check works as a receipt. You may have cause for legal action under a usery statute.

I would be careful if you titled the car with the $1750 and only paid sales tax on $1750 without telling anyone you are just as guilty of fraud as the seller. When I sell vehicles I often leave the sale price blank so the seller can decide what they want to pay in taxes. I have bought vehicles the same way is it legal no way. I had a worker at the DMV joke that she would love to find where everyone was finding cars for $100

some sellers do this as a favor so that you, the buyer, will pay sales tax on a $1750 purchase instead of a $7000 purchase - to save you a little bit of money. This is a bit shady and dishonest, however.

# 1 you got a receipt for the $1000.00 and you should have a copy of the cashed check he cashed that should cover you there.
Now a salvage vehicle title can not be re title for going back on the road a salvage is salvage and nothing more then just parts and scraps.

call a lawyer,if you paid by cheque that is your proof,the bank will have a copy of it,as you said before he was triing to lower the taxes,what can he sue you for,if he gave you a receipt for your thousand and then wants to sue he could only claim the 750.00 remaining on the 1750.00 on the title receipt,and you have a 6000.00 cheque proof that he cashed .i dont think you have much to worry about and you could more than likely counter sue
good luck

Ask the Department of Motor Vehicles if they can investigate. Especially if there was fraud over the salvage title.

My answer is the same as last time you asked. You're trying to cheat this guy out of $6K. If there are problems with the car, tell him you will pay him a reduced amount, and he will probably agree.

How many times you going to ask this?
Nobody here can tell you what to do.
Just tell them again to give you the money
and you will give him his junk car.
Heck, give him another 750 and you can probably afford to get it fixed.

No bill of sale? Something smells fishy about BOTH of you.
