Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Indiana

I sold a car to my step-daughters boyfriend with specific payment agreements that were agreed to by both of us and witnessed by my wife and her duaghter. Being that this was nearly family, I didn't think we needed to have a writen contract and I did not lien the car. The guy followed everything we agreed upon until it came to paying the final cash amount ($1068) that was due by a set date. He asked for a little more time and we did agree to that extention. It's now been 3 months since our last deadline and he has made no attempt at all to even arrange any payments in anyway. In our original agreement, we all agreed that if he was not able to pay us on time, then we would hold the car until it was paid for in full. Is this something I can take to Small Claims Court?

Yes, you can sue him for the money he still owes you. No, you can't hold onto the car without his permission until he pays up.
