What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
so i will try to keep this story as short as possible, so at the end of last month i was looking for a car. it was the last day before my mom had to take back the rental so it was do or die, i decided to go an hour away form where i live since theres more selection. i was such in a haste that i bought the car before the notary closed, and did not test drive it. he was working on it at the time so i wasnt able to drive it before i could transfer the title.
so make a long story short, the man who sold me the car has 500 dollars that i had as a deposit and i have the title. i had to wait wait for the title in the mail so he would feel ok giving me back the money. the day i get the title, he tells me that he doesnt have the 500 because he spent it on parts. so its almost a month later and now it seems like im waiting for him to sell the car to get my money back.
i have a contract that states he would give me back my 500 after i give him the title, but theres no deadline on it. so i want to know what im legally allowed to do, i was just going to have someone look at the car and just pay me 500 to transfer the title into their name, and then make arrangements with the person whos selling the car
