Bought A Car Off Facebook Marketplace 3 Weeks Ago, Now Seller Is Blowing Up My Phone Saying I "scammed" Him And Wants It Back
Location: Austin, TX. About 3 weeks ago I bought a 2019 Honda Civic off some guy on Facebook Marketplace for $8500 cash. We met at a Starbucks parking lot, I test drove it, everything checked out fine. He signed the title over to me, I gave him the cash, we shook hands and that was it. I got it registered at the DMV like 5 days later, got my plates and everything.
Now out of nowhere this guy starts texting me yesterday saying he made a "huge mistake" and the price was supposed to be $12,500 not $8500 and that I took advantage of him. He's saying I knew the price was too low and I scammed him?? The listing literally said $8500 and I have screenshots of our entire conversation where he never once mentioned a different price. He keeps saying he's gonna call the cops and report the car stolen if I dont either give it back or pay him another $4000.
I told him I'm not doing either of those things because we had a deal and I have the title in my name now. He called me like 6 times today and left a voicemail saying his "lawyer cousin" told him I committed fraud. Im pretty sure hes full of it but is there any chance I actually have to worry about this? Can he really report it stolen when he signed the title over to me? I got enough money set aside where I could hire someone if I need to but honestly is this even worth dealing with legally or should I just block him and move on?
