Op. You a a very lucky person by the way the buyer is going.you have two options.
One: use respected elders in your neighborhood to settle the matter amicably. Also be ready to pay him reasonable compensation. Say like 100k if you are wise
Two: go report at police station and settle the police wella, you may still need to compensate him o

By the way, if you jam person like me, that car is no longer yours.

hakeemhakeem:


Sales happened immediately agreement was reached not to talk of when payment was full made,I hope the seller wouldn't be himself in big trouble

Which sale.....
Which agreement??

sale is an exchange of goods or service for money.....in this case exchange never happened ....all good... because its a tangible product...

Bros talk true oooo...if u go car shop....
Price car...then agree price....

Then u the buyer said ...u are not buying because something came up... can the car dealer force u to buy?? because there was an agreement

Or....the buyer says he's not selling again that he wants to give his wife since he has not given u the receipt or the car document after u credited him ......then decides to pay you back.... U now want to force him to sell....??

Localemperor:
Guy, are you so dull to realized that contract can be entered orally? A contract can entered through the following.

A written Contract
Oral Contract
And a contract by implication.

What ever the buyer claims can be argued in the court of law. During the period of the said payment of instalment, the buyer or the saler must have reveal the condition of the contract and the agreed amount to a third party who would be made to swear jury in a court of competent jurisdiction.

I have told you, you lack knowledge on the said matter of discuss. Keep quiet and learn.

If u knew what u were saying....u will know
It's not in all cases u can enforce claim of oral contract.....

I said it to u before...no judge can force a seller to sell his goods....however, other technicalities can be argued and compensation can be awarded for inconvenience ....if u can't get that still then ur IQ is not even up to a 10 year old....

Yee...buyer can bring his arguement...thats not a crime ...virtually any arguement can be brought before court... But if u are not daft ...u should also know it's not everything that can win in court....

Werey wants to teach and doesn't even know what he's saying.....I asked u to show me the law that says a seller must sell or a buyer must buyer becos a price agreement was reached....
..

....exchange has not happened here.....no one can force anything.....go and teach ur family members at home..or u carry ur useless research and shove it up ur ass

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

I hope you're not thinking of towing the path that denying have such transaction or agreement with him?

Remembered the money he sent to you and the one you transferred are evidence.

What you doing is called breach of contract. Your should've waited for him to default so that you'll have ground to reclaim your car. You initiating this move means you're the one defaulting and you need to pay him back with compensation to make up for his loss.

He will tell you that if you had never agreed to sell your car, he wouldn't have tied his money in that your car rather, he would've used the money to look for another one.

You made him lose the time to get another car and now you want to deny him the one that made him lose others.

You need to find peaceful approach to handle this.

An important detail that needs an answer is whether the seller informed buyer of change of plans (and offered refund) before buyer paid his last instalment?

Gentleman, surrender the car keys to your neighbour who is now the new owner of the car and find a way to beg him to return the free and unsolicited money you sent to him. You have a concluded commercial transaction here.

Shellsploit:
Tear the original car document.
Thats the only way to resolve the issue



Speaking from experience.

Waste of tearing!😊. The fellow will make the necessary depositions by affidavit attaching the evidence of payments for the car. The new owner is good to go. Folks should think things through before they act!

robinso01:
As it's going ,no way you won't involve police las las

To do what? In a commercial transaction! The new owner will go to court for specific performance and an order of court for him to return the unsolicited funds to an interest yielding bank account in the name of the CR for collection by the previous owner whenever he wishes. The day he goes to collect the money is when he will discover the government is also interested in picking up some of it for helping him keep it all the while!

Beg him, call a licensed mediator or lawyer, finally involve the police...but keep begging him. If I were him I might be very angry too.

DohFahSo:

It's not HIS car. The man is a crook.

The car is the man own, after finishing payment instead of OP to deliver car, he refunded money . The neighbour is in order he saw a good deal agreed to installmental payments, made his payments and OP refused to deliver car, OP is a bad business person.

matify83:
Going by your gentleman agreement, there shouldn't have been an issue since it was an informal deal all along.

However, keeping his money even for 2 weeks before returning it back is a loss for him going by our galloping inflation.

You denied him good use of his funds and now returning it without interest.

By reneging on the deal, he comes off the greatest loser.

he said he nor sell again abi wetin be your problem

Which agreement is agreement. It is not a written agreement but verbal. Abeg na by force. My husband and I wanted to sell our first car then, unfortunately the day I put to bed someone brought money hubby told him he can't sell that day again because we will be needing the car too do some running around then .The buyer went away because he couldn't wait.Then after the naming we later sell it off. Abeg no dey give advice wey you no fit take.

Agreement is agreement...you kept his money and made it lose value in your account...give the man his Car since he didn't renege on the payment [/quote]

Sucre6:


I would subscribe to this advice if he hadn't jacked his car and threatened him to submit the keys, first of no written agreement I t was based on gentlemen understanding, and for car way you paid on installments and the money has since been refunded.

Dem no born him papa well, I will personally mess the idiot up, nah because op seems like a simp who doesn't know his right nah why, this can never happen with me, I go show am say him own craze they learn work

Do you even understand what a gentleman's agreement is?

A man's word is his bond.

Localemperor:


Your argument is not based on fact. Contracts can be entered orally. In an orally contract you don't need a signature for it to be binding as long as there is offer, acceptance and consideration, you have a legally binding contract.

The purpose of the money transfered must not be explicitly stated but by implication be known ( The buyer is already riding the car for some time, and within that same period he had made payment to the seller of an amount that can be considered to be payment for the car)

Some of you just like arguement sha !! Yes we know orally contract exist but it is on the basis of goodfaith, any agreement/contract that will be enforce by the law must possesses an evidence. (written/recorded or witness)

These was how we were explaining to coconut heads obedient during the tribunal, you need evidence in court they said no Peter Obi knows how to explain

Let's look at it from your perspective and his perceptive. But you seem like an indecisive person.

ISSUES FOR DETERMINATION.

1. Research is key in any Task. I say this because we all knew Fuel Stations adjusted their Pump Price in most states the day Tinubu was sworn in as President ( He stated clearly that Subsidy was gone ). I assume you paid for your Car on or aBout the time Tinubu was sworn in. A 3.5L V6 will surely be expensive to maintain ( but maintenance is subjective). As individuals we all know what we can afford to maintain.

2. AGREEMENT. Was there a Gentlemans Agreement 🤝 yes. Was there an Oral Agreement yes. You said you couldn't cope and wanted a smaller Car. So talk led to talk. You told your neighbor, and like I said it's subjective in this instances.

He probably can stomach the expenses on his end . You have a price which no one forced you to give irrespective of above or below Market Value it's your Choice...there was Offer, Acceptance, Consideration in the Transaction.

3. THE COST FACTOR . You made the decision to buy a Car and a brand, you said because of the Unstable Fuel Price you decided to sell, you should have calculated the cost and options to see if money realized from your Cra sale will be sufficient enough to get another Belgium Car of yoyr Choice also considering Inflation of all goods.

4. DECISION MAKING. You didn't make good choices and you went back to tell him that you are pulking out of the deal. It's not even about it the Contract can be enforced or not. You just made an unnecessary enemy. He has threatened you , Jacked the Car Up and blocked it with two Cars. He wants to show you that the Trouble you seek , he has it in abundance.

If you end up going to the Police , you will spend no matter how little.

The issue of you not considering adding an extra tip to his initial payment is another issue.

A parable : Which of you intending to build a House will not seat down and count the cost from the beginning. If you don't count the cost all who see you will mock you saying ...look..he started and he couldn't finish.

You should have weighed options and counted the cost of the first car of purchase, price for sale of the Car and price of purchase of a new Carm

You should edit the Topic to : I NEED URGENT ADVISE AND NOR MY NEIGHBOR DID THIS.

There are certain persons who know how to get themselves in Trouble but can't pull them selves out.

You are a Product of your decisions and nothing else. Since you said you are considering the use of Force...why then did you come here after all we were not with you when you made all your decisions.

May the best man win.

ExudeLoveToAll:
Transaction has been completed without you even knowing.

If I was your neighbor, I will proceed to a court and have an injunction restraining you or anyone from driving that car until the suite has been entertained by the court to determine the legitimate owner of that vehicle.

Mind you this suit can take five years to determine, no issue will drive that vehicle and the good thing is that he already has his money back as a guarantee meaning he has nothing to loose in making life difficult for you as a dishonest business man.

An oral agreement is admissible in court mind you and he has bank transactions to corroborate his oral evidence. People like you who think you can repudiate an agreement when the other party has fully complied with the terms of the agreement should be taught shown a precedence so that you don't do it to other people in the future.

In your mind you are smart, you don't even know the buyer has lost money because of future value of money. That you find yourself in this predicament has nothing to do with the buyer, business has been completed and there is nothing you can do about it. No court will give you custody of that vehicle of this matter gets to court.

The best for you is to seek peaceful settlement outside of the court process else you will loose everywhere.

Spot on. I read most the comments before this and I taught to myself most people are ignorant of the law. The OP failed to do his due diligence. He should take responsibility for his his inaction.

Baba, read the story again. This time put yourself in the position of the buyer. Then imagine the seller saying he is no longer selling after you have made full payment for the vehicle. Would you sheepishly walk away because refunded all your money?

Uncle...the best thing for him to do is to top up additional money to the guy.

Yes tell him you will sell the car to him but considering present inflation of prices, the price just went up by N10m and he has 4 days to pay or the price goes up 50%

Please next time you should not wait until someone pays full amount of money you asked for. Before saying you aren't selling again.
Put yourself in the buyer's shoes.
It is PAINFUL.
PAINFUL as it may be or have been. The car still remains yours.
So,you have every right not to sell again.
Just involve the police.
If I was in the buyers shoes.
You will pay me an extra 100k for this inconvenience.

You see why I said you can't be educated, redemption is beyond you.
Sales of goods is complete at the instance of last instalment. It's doesn't matter who is still in position of the goods. This is the position of the law.

You can't tell me to take my money back when I have made payment in full. That is the position of the law.

Honestly how did you manage to graduate, I even doubt if you're a graduate. Did you drop out? Most likely.

You're a disgrace to your alma mater and to humanity.
