Junky, do I understand your thread correctly?? You sold a car which you received half the money for and then allowed it to leave your property based on some type of promissory note for the remaining amount?? And you held the title until final payment was made, which it never was?? Everything I've ever read or have been told, said to get all the money before the car leaves the property. Guess that is great advice. Thanks for sharing your story, Carmine.
