You will need to file a small claims lawsuit that asks (a) for the return of your car and/or alternatively (b) for the money due you for the car. Small claims court is designed specifically to assist parties in legal matters without lawyers to resolve their legal disputes. In Wisconsin, the threshold for most cases is $10,000. At 975, it is non -issue.
