Legal Question in Consumer Law in Utah

down payment refund on used car

My daughter sold her car, the kid gave her $600 and told her he'd be back with rest of money. He decided not to buy the car and came back week later wanting the $600 back. Of course nothing is in writing and it was cash. Now they are treating her like a crook because she paid bills with the money and only had 300 to give them. Is this money refundable to them for breach of a verbal contract. They are threatening her with court. Do I get an attorney or just borrow her the money?

Re: down payment refund on used car

If she agreed to refund he money, and now has possession of the car, she should resell the car and pay him the money. If he has the car, she is entitled to keep the money.
