So the folks here are spending some time providing some insightful input. Could you return the favour and share with us what the seller is asking for the car? What we think it’s worth is kinda meaningless if the seller thinks he’s sitting on a gold mine. We could say $15k and you might think $15k too but if the seller knows you want the car back or thinks it’s worth $35k for what ever reasons, our input is pretty meaningless. You going to him saying “yeah peeps on a car forum also think it’s worth $15k....” isn’t going to help much. Considering you sold the car to him, perhaps sharing when you sold him the car and for what price would complete the two way street relative to info sharing between all of us. --
