Question:
A co-worker bought a car for $400 from another co-worker. The buyer paid $200 and couldn't pay the remainder $200 because his wife totalled their other vehicle. It remains unpaid. The engine went in the car. What should happen now. The buyer is a total opportunist and wants a refund.

Cat C and Cat D, what do they mean when looking at a car?
Was there a written contract? I Hope. The buyer is totally responsible for the debt. A contract is a deal verbal or not. He bought a $400.00 car. AS IS. It is not the sellers fault his wife totaled a car, or that the engine went. He made an agreement and if he doesn't pay the seller can take him to court, and collect more than just the $200.00 he owes him. Pay the man or women.This is why you never sell cars to family, friends or co-workers.

What should happen now, is that if you are not the buyer or the seller, you should keep your nose out of this. If you don't, you're just asking for trouble.If you are asking what a good solution would be, then the obvious and legal answer is that the buyer should cough up the money he/she promised to the seller. That's what a judge would/will order if it goes to court.
A word to the wise--always do a written contract for purchases like this.
Did they take possession of the vehicle prior to the engine going out? If they did, then they own the car and owe the money.
