Well when my brother sold his maxima, he got a check and he immediately called the other guys bank to confirm if he had the money (in which he did). You can always call the bank to see if they have the sufficiant funds. On topic, thats complete *********. Call a lawyer pronto... if it has to be Jacoby and Meyers whatever. He f**ked you, and basically stole the car off you by deception. I was gonna report my TA as a lemon but couldnt... the owner said its never been in an accident, but I find windshield shards under my carpet and front frame work constructed by bondo. But you got f**ked man, get a lawyer involved. Even if it takes you to send a letter to him without a return address, impersonating a lawyer using big words laying down facts, just to give him a good scare
