More details to this question:
I purchased a car from a lot here. The gentleman told me that if I give him 2,500 I could ride today. So I gave him 2,000 and he said when I came back with 500 he would give me the title. When I returned to give the rest of the money, he told me that the car had been damaged and it was a salvage title on it, at the time I was unaware of this and had never heard if it. In the end, I now have a vehicle that I can't get a title for in my name and he refuses to give me my money back.

Take him to small claims to get your money back. Next time get everything in writing.

Sue him for fraud in small claims (Judge Judy) court, report him to the Better Business Bureau, report him to the state Dept of Motor Vehicles.

Since the amount in controversy is less than $5,000, you can sue in small claims court and you don't need a lawyer to represent you. Obviously, the salesman had a duty to disclose to you before you bought the car that it had a salvage title. The small claims court judge will unquestionably find in your favor.
