As far as this case is concerned, agreement has been done, payment fully received, deal closed.
You had a rethink after receiving the final payment. What if he sold some valuable stuffs too or took loan to get the payment done.
I think you have two options here, pay him back with interest or hand over his car key to him and count your loss. 5 Likes |

You're looking for pity.
Give the guy his car and documents. You kept his money in your account and do whatever you pleased with it, now you come dey talk story.
If the price of the car was reduced by half, shey you go gree collect half payment since you're doing gentleman agreement. 4 Likes |

Dear Family landers. I am here to seek your advice on how to rescue my car from my neighbour.
I bought a car, direct from abroad, a very clean and sweet ride, and registered in September, 2023 (5months ago). However, due to the high fuel consumption( V6, 3.5l engine) and the ever unstable fuel price today, I decided to put it up for sale to get a smaller engine capacity. A neighbour expressed interest in buying the car and decided to pay in installment which I agreed. I was also searching for a replacement at this time hoping to use the money realized from the sales to get my preferred ride. My preferred ride prices were shockingly high such that even if I doubled the price I gave to my neighbour it will still not be enough to buy the new ride. Prices rise by the hour these days in Nigeria and I have no hand in this crisis. I returned to my neighbour to inform him that I will not be selling the car anymore due to the present crises in prices of goods in the country. I apologized profusely for every inconvenience and transferred his money back to him. He got angry and said that I must submit the car key and documents to him. He even threatened to send his community and area boys to beat me up and extract the above items.
I came back from work to see my car jacked up, surrounded by 2 other vehicles to prevent the car's exit. For the records, there is no written or signed agreement between him and I concerning this sale. I refunded all his money 1 day after he paid his last installment and kept back my car. I have no hand in Nigeria's current problems. I am pushed to use force here but I am thinking that some initial peaceful resolution could be an option. You are a thief. 1 Like |

You guys have to find a way to settle it amicably. But what I want to understand, if the money had gotten you the smaller engine you wouldn't have returned the money? You waited till he made full payment before you returned the money? While you were seeing the increase of things you didn't start finding a black goat in the day time? That man will win you oh, the verbal agreement had been sealed and delivered by making full payment, what you are acting on is after thought.
Installments requires higher pay, it shows you didn't think well before acting.
he just need serious plea maybe from elders and additional money before he releases your car. If he insists, nothing go come out.
If he wasn't your neighbor nko.
If it was vice versa, what would you have done? In all honesty. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Oga to be honest, if I am that man, you will pay interest. I mean who does such a childish business. You have no excuse, whatever brand of vehicle you wanted to buy, has been purchased, Cleared and placed at car stand. YOU have internet knowledge and can Google on prices as well before you decided to sell your old car. So dollar fluctuations is not a valid excuse. You acted childish. How can you be that indecisive as a man? You caused an embarrassment to that buyer..That man has announced to his people that he is getting a new car, only for you to deny his dream after he has paid. Well you will involve police, but bear it in mind you have to lose to gain in this battle. He will run a shyloc on you... What ever amount you took and refunded, you will do a 0.75% interest rate, multiply it daily and for the duration you held his money, that is the compound interest you will return together with his capital money. He can call police and put a claim, you defrauded him by fraudulently collecting his money as loan without Interest. You brought this upon yourself.  Indecision smh 4 Likes |

Written or not, you had a contract. Ever heard of oral contact? You should honour the contract. It's not your neighbour's fault that you couldn't get another car at a cheaper price. In develop countries, if your neighbour decides to buy another car elsewhere at a much higher price, you will have to pay the difference in the higher price. You basically reneged on your obligation and it's a crime. Give him his car and document.

You used him tho. Not so fair. After an "informal" agreement and he paid all, you refunded him the money. I would think you collected money to solve a problem... I would think you played a smart on me too. It's my car now and you refunded me without my approval. I don't wanna resell my car. The dollar rate is no business of mine since I've paid you completely. Hand over the keys and document of my new car. The police may not save you.

He rush to pay the money because he believed the deal was good. And he fear things might change if he delays and also you might find a better offer. He might even borrow money just to fasting it and hoping it complete the payment at once. Also for you to return the money just like that. What if he borrow that money at 30% interest rate?
Give him the car key or negotiate a settlement. You should not drive that csr again even if you settle with him. This is Africa you might had accident with it. |

The good thing is he paid by instalment.
In the normal course of business, title is not transferred until full payment is made.
So even if you made a commitment to sell to him upon (full) payment, the fact that you rescinded the decision before he made full payment puts you in the green.
However, if he can prove he did borrow to make that purchase, you may owe him the interest on the loan as he took the loan because you gave him a legitimate expectation that the car could be his.
However, if he has made full payment, that becomes tricky as you are reneging on a verbal contract and should compensate him well for the inconvenience didnt you see the part where he said he received the last installment? 😂 |

You're completely wrong here. The buyer and seller aggreed to do business and the buyer fulfill his part of the deal which makes him the owner of the car. The seller CANNOT unilaterally change the term of agreement without the consent of the buyer and if the buyer disagree, nothing can be change. Will the OP change his mind if he has sells the car to call dealership who already paid him and take possession of the car and documents? Nope and same treatment should be applied to the neighbor.
