Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Indiana

I had my moped up for sale I sold an individual a moped on April 27th for $600.00, I explained to him that it had mechanical issues that needed fixed and I made him aware of exactly what the problem was with the moped. He then took the scooter for a test ride, came back and said he wanted it. He paid me cash for this moped, we had no contract or agreement whatsoever. Today April 30th three days after he bought it from me, he called me and said the moped blew up on him, and hes demanding that I give him ALL the money back and I have to take the moped back. Or he wants me to give him $300 and let him keep the moped. Legally, Do I HAVE to give his money back? I have always been under the impression that when you buy a used item from someone it is yours once you buy it and the former owner is no longer responsible for the item.
