[QUOTE=blue2000s][QUOTE=Brucelee] If you DID pay with a personal check, I would NOT stop payment on that. In some states, that is considered to be fraud or similar felony and it puts you in the hole legally right off. You don't want the sheriff at your door with an arrest warrant.

It's only illegal if you don't have the funds when the check is written. It shouldn't be illegal to stop payment on a good check.

It is in this case. The car is sold when it is sold. If you pay me for the car and then you cancel it willingly, you have taken my car and have not paid for it.
His legal recourse is governed by the laws of that state. I doubt they allow someone to unilaterally withdraw payment or void the sale.
