Depending on the facts, I don't think she has a good case but I would need to look at the documents and would need to know about her sudden change of mind as to why she thinks she was not paid. Could she suffer from Alzheimer's or dementia?haven't see any of the documents so I can't say. Why did you not get a receipt or note on the bill of sale that she was paid $600? Why is she claiming that you have not paid when you have the title? Do you have any other documentation (for example a bank statement showing that you withdrew the funds right before you bought the car or a copy of a cancelled check if you paid by check)?

The answers to these questions would change the facts you provided and might point to whether she has a case or not. Try getting the information together with more details and re-posting.
