I don't know how much the car is worth but you could sue him in small claims court for up to $5000.00. You could ask the court to enter judgment that you own the car because he gifted it to you and that you will continue to make monthly payments per your agreement with your ex boyfriend. When the car is paid off you want the judgment to say that he signs it over to you.

Otherwise, you could ask the court to enter judgment that he must sign the car over to you if you pay it off in full at the time of the judgment.
