If he took your money, promised to sell you a car, refused to sell the car, and kept the money, you may be able to file criminal charges. You could contact your local district attorney's office and ask to file a criminal complaint.

You may also be able to recover your money through civil means. You could sue for the money back and/or first have an attorney send a demand letter to him.

If you need anything else, feel free to let me know.
