This is just like the Gazzuzz case back then.
Buyer fully paid for TV but didn't come to pick it up yet, seller got a better offer and sold the TV and offered to return money to buyer. Kolewerk.
As soon as full payment has been made, na transfer of ownership remain, nothing else. 12 Likes |

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So even if you made a commitment to sell to him upon (full) payment, the fact that you rescinded the decision before he made full payment puts you in the green.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 Thanks a great deal. I was not even expecting his last installment so fast as that was the same day I had a change of mind. The total duration of as transactions is 5 days 1 Like |

yemmit90: You made a mistake by sending him back exactly what he paid, you should've at least added something as interest for him.
The man feel cheated, he might even thought you spent his money to solve an issue but used car as a cover up. Don't use the police or take law into your hands if you want peaceful resolution, call some respected or good neighbours to help you beg him that you are ready to add something for him as interest. You may be surprise how easily the issue will be resolved. He may not even collect the interest again after seeing how genuinely sorry you are.
The only option you have now is to beg him.
Thanks so much. I never spent his money. I have apologized and pleaded with him. I was surprised that he went ahead to jack up my car.

TheWinterBird: Submit what car keys and documents to him? He has a lot of audacity making such demands, not to mention hijacking the car after you've returned his money. Next time, you need to think things like this through before proceeding and you should also document every transaction and with signatures just so it wouldn't be a case of 'He said, she said'.
Does that mean you sold it to him for a cheap price? No wonder he doesn't want to let it go. He got a nice car and for a cheap price (because you just wanted to hurridly make money from it) - a deal he wouldn't have been able to get elsewhere. That was simply poor business on your part. Well, it may be something close to this. I spent 7million Naira for the purchase of that car and was to sell at only 3m. The car is neat, elegant, commands so much stare and respect wherever I drive to. I sparingly drove the vehicle as I was trying to conserve fuel. |

Dang. From 7m to 3m? You gave him a good deal, hence it was your loss and his gain. One would think he would play fair thereafter but like the typical Nigerian, he used to opportunity to go gangster and roughen the whole thing up in your eyes, attempting to claim a car that's not his. He's no different from a thief. You gotta be smarter next time! Futhermore, if the car's this great, you shouldn't have been so quick to sell it, at least not for a price that wasn't up to its worth. You also shouldn't have accepted the payment in installments; you were already selling it at a much lower price and if he couldn't pay in full upfront, you shouldn't have released the car to him. Lastly, next time, know the type of person you're doing business with; if they're of poor character and ethics, take your business elsewhere. Missowombo:

Dude, take the money and give him the car back or go and sell the car to another buyer. Under no circumstances should you drive that car again or you may regret it.
As an after thought, I must confess that you were wrong for reneging on the agreement but your neighbor is also troublesome for trying to challenge you. It's obvious you guys don't have a cordial relationship or he wouldn't be acting this way. 1 Like |

Missowombo: 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 sold your car. Then you changed your mind because vehicle was in your possession. If it was in his possession, we would not hear this story.

A gentleman's agreement is really abused in this part of the world. It's not even a gentleman's agreement anymore, that's a contract there cos all the elements that make for a valid contract can be seen I.e. Offer, Acceptance and Consideration (the agreed sum).

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. Legally, the car belongs to the neighbour. He made an offer that was accepted, he paid the agreed consideration, the car belongs to him. The neighbour should sue him for breach of contract, and he should also demand damages. |

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

The deal was struck the moment that the seller agreed to start receiving payment in instalments from the buyer. If the buyer had stopped paying the seller would have been entitled to go to court and seek what is called an order of specific performance. Imagine if you paid for a house off plan and have been paying all your milestone instalments on time, then the developer comes and says he’s not selling to you again then returns your money and goes to sell the same house to someone who has offered him more money than you. You would be entitled to go to court and get an order to force the seller to stick to the terms of the deal that was struck. . 3 Likes |
Re: My Neighbour Jacked Up My Car by sokunji(m): 8:17pm On Feb 16 |
That car became the man's own the moment he paid his first installment as agreed. So paying the last installment as agreed completed the deal.. if the reverse was the case, and prices of cars crashed drastically and the man asked for his money back after he had paid his last installment and you had paid for your dream car, would you be yammering this online?
Honestly, we are too dishonest and our leaders are a true reflection of our lives. Look at the amount of people condemning the buyer, for following up with an agreement. He should have gotten a lawyer to sign an agreement with his good neighbour... He kept his own part of the deal, if you want the car back, ask him to sell it to you. He would sell at his own price. 4 Likes |
