Person bought a car and won’t pick it up

r/

Hi all, I recently sold a not running dodge charger for 2700$ location: Ontario Canada. The buyer came and checked it out and paid for it by e-transfer. It’s been over a month of him saying he’s coming to pick it up but he hasn’t yet and constantly stops answering. I’ve offered to get it towed to him or to his business (supposedly he’s a mechanic) but he won’t send me an address to get it towed to. Now I don’t own the house I live it I just rent and the landlord is not happy about all this, my question is what can I do legally? Do I have to pay to get towed to an impound lot? Can I just scrap the car?(im unsure if he’s transferred to car into his name but he has the ownership). Thank you

    Be careful!! There are lots of scams of people paying online or by check and the money is fake and will bounce, its a little different though if hes not picking it up

    Has the title been fully transferred?

    Tell the guy you’re moving and won’t be taking his property with you. Leave him your landlord’s info.

    Maybe if you tell him you’re gonna start charging a storage fee that’ll encourage a sense of urgency…
