I have some questions. How much did you end up paying for the car? It looks like $3800 was the original price, but $2800 was what you had to pay to get it back from the title loan company. If you paid more than the $3800 you agreed to, you should be able to sue for the difference and for the fact that he illegally repossessed your car. You also want to make sure you get the title put into your name.
