Sure but without a written agreement he will most likely lose. Make no admissions. If the deposit was for you to hold the car and not sell it to someone else until you signed a contract, then it is not a problem.
If it was a deposit on an oral contract to sell then you could have a problem.
Send a check for the two hundred Return Reciept Requested. Then hope for the best.
Good Luck.

Yes. But he would have to prove damages and even if he can show breach, that does not mean you are obligated to sell him the car, but it could mean that you owe him some money in addition to the $200.
