If it were me, i would subtract whatever it costs to store it, and give him back 75% of whatever was left and tell them the rest is for wasting my time!! If you didnt have to pay for storage, charge $50 a day for storing it, and then the stupidity fee of 25% of whatever is leftover! Maybe im just an ******* thats been burned over that crap one too many times!!

Been in this exact situation with a $500 motorcycle that had a title. Although the guy fell off the face of the earth and showed up like 8mo later to pay the remainder and pick up the bike
I ended up keeping the bike and reselling it to a guy who picked it up that day.
I was told by a paralegal that after 30 days, I can do as I want with his money. Without a contract, or a signature on anything there is very difficult road ahead of him to prove that he gave you money.
I am not saying its right, and I am not saying you should rip the guy off, but I am saying the law of possession seems to be on your side.
If it were me, I would resell the car, and give the guy his money (eventually what I ended up doing) or scrap it and give him scrap value back (you keep the $500) or be a totally legal and pompous *** and tell him to pound sand, resell car and make double.
100% up to you. Only thing going here is the honor system. If he knows where you live, I would give him the money back just for the peace of mind about sleeping at night.

My opinion- do whatever will let you sleep at night. If you're going to feel bad (bad not guilty because you did nothing illegal) about your choice, maybe you shouldn't choose it.

That's not fair to OP. He held up his end and the guy is screwing him over. He's not being an *** for acting within the law.
