Question about a car

Question

my friend bought a car from another well so called friend and she paid half for it and was going to pay the other half when she got paid.well the day she was suppose to pay she didn't and they came and got the car.okay there is more when she first paid half she got nothing in writing saying they had a agreement.my question is can this person just come and take the car even though the car was not running when my friend got it and my friend paid her own money to fix it.whats the law can this person just take the car away like that.......

Answer 1

from what you said, she didn't even get a receipt for the 1st half that she paid?  Everything was done verbally which means her 'ex-friend' can deny that the car was sold to her and that it was stolen!

If this is the situation (only a verbal agreement with no receipt) then she's out of luck!  Mark it up to experience..
