Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in California
sale of car
.I verbally agreed to sell my car to someone for 16,000. He left 250.00 cash with no receipt given and nothing signed. I later sold the car to someone else for 18,000 and tried to send back the 250 deposit. He refused to give me a way to send back his deposit unless i gave him additional monies. He is now attempting to sue me in small claims court for the 250 plus the 2000. There is nothing on paper can he win?

Re: sale of car
The trouble with verbal agreements is that some unscrupulous people have been known to lie when they get to court. In your case, I know you are an honest person and you will tell the truth about the verbal agreement when you get to court and you are placed under oath. The judge will then award him $2250 which is his deposit, plus the difference between the contract price and the fair market value of the car.

The judge will let you know the answer to that.
