More details to this question:
My daughter-in-law sold a vehicle to a friend. There is a contract for him to pay her $500. He has had vehicle 5 months and paid only $90. Won't pay any more. Title was signed over to friend so he could plate and insure. Friend has not transferred title. Friend has also removed tires. Friend says he will give title back if daughter-in-law returns his $90. What are their options

The friend has materially breached his contract with your daughter-in-law by failing to pay the remaining $410 he owes.  Your daughter-in-law has the option of rescinding the contract, i.e. taking back the car and refunding the $90 (she would then probably hav e claim against the friend for the rental value of the car for the time he possessed the car) or suing him for damages, i.e. the $410 he owes plus interest from the time it was due.
