car repo

florida
We have a car customizing shop in Florida. A friend of ours brought his car in to be painted. We started to sand it but never finished it because he didnt have the money. In the meantime, he took out one of those title loans on his car, he didnt make the payments and they came to reposses. My husband informed them we had already started the work and had a signed ticket on the car. The guy knew he was getting his car repoed, so he stripped it. When the repo guy came to evaluate the car we overheard him say we dont want this car we'll have to take it to auction. My husband made a deal with the loan company to pay a lower amount and he would give us the title to the car. He said he was done dealing with that guy there was no way for him to get the car back or offer to make any more arrangements. My husband called the owner of the car and told him we were planning on buying it IF he didnt want it. He informed us no take it I dont have the money and im tired of dealing with it. So we did. He found out we bought the car for 750.00 now he is extremely upset. Now mind you his loan was alot more than 750.00 thats just what the loan company settle on for us. He is not threatening to take us to court. Is there a chance I will have to give this car back. I didnt think he would get so mad and do this. I have already painted the car plus what I put out in paying for it and the work before we even bought it.. If anyone can give me advise I would greatly appreciate it...thank you

I'm guessing this is a typo. You have the title free and clear, he can threaten all he wants.
