He came back few days later and told husband about some vehicles he had. Husband gave him $400.00, toward one... After christmas we test drove... NOWAY, so he said he had another one it was Ford Taurus, needed transmission work... he already had trans.. would take to guy and get fixed we would pay...

I would suggest sending the guy a letter, certified mail, that unless he gets you the title to a working car in 10 days that you will sue him in small claims court for the money you gave him.
