Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland
Oral-Contracts
About 8 months ago, we sold a camaro to a neighbor for $250 and he was also supposed to give our daughter another car that he had. It took several months before we recieved all the money due and never recieved the other car.
He wants to sell the car back to us for $400 since he can't supply the other car.
We feel that he should give us the camaro back and we pay him back the original $250 that he paid. Since he forfeited the original oral contract by not giving our daughter the other car as per the original aggreement. We are waiting to hear what our legal rights are concerning this. Thank you.

Re: Oral-Contracts
Your neighbor is taking you for a ride. You should do the same to him. File your case and you should win. File a lien on the car right away or claim it through a breach of contract action. If you need more help contact me at (410) 619-5918.
Re: Oral-Contracts
Your neighbor expects to make a $150 profit when he failed to fulfill the terms of the agreement? That's interesting... You have two choices as proper legal remedies--take the car back and give him back his $250 less any wear and tear he caused. Or sue him in small claims court for the fair market value of the car he was supposed to give you along with the money. If you have a sufficient description of the car, check websites such as cars.com and kbb.com to get a valuation.
