Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia

Verbal agreement on personal loan for car

My son's girlfriend's mother paid $18,000 in cash for a car for my son, with the expectation that my son and her daughter would be getting married. There is nothing more than a verbal agreement that my son will make monthly payments to the mother until the car is paid off. My son and his girlfriend split two months after the car was purchased. The split was the girlfriend's choice, and there is no hope of reconciliation. Her mother is now demanding double payments from my son to get the car paid off sooner, and is asking him to sell off possessions to get more money. She is hounding him with text messages and phone calls. Since there is nothing in writing between them and he is in possession of the car and the title is in his name, is he within his rights to tell the mother that he will repay her on his terms, not on her terms, and to stop hounding him?
