So in December of 2009, My dad financed a car for me because I had not have any credit yet. We made an oral agreement that I would have to pay $ 110 a month and in 2 years the car would be paid off and the car would get put in my name. Then in the middle of April, my dad had found out that I let my boyfriend drive the car ( he drove because we were on a 4 hour trip and i couldnt stay awake at the wheel, it was safer for him to drive because he was not tired). My dad got mad at me because he drove and took the car away and sold it to someone else. So my question here is, since my dad and I had an oral agreement, does he have the rights to sell it. I had put a total of $ 365 towards payments on the car. Can i win in small claims court since he broke the oral agreement? He had probably sold the car for what he bought it for, so i pretty much gave him $ 365 for free. He will not pay me the money that i put towards the car, so will this win in small claims court? Also, since I had no car i would not make it to work. Can i also sue him in small claims court for the money that i had to give poeple for gas to get my back and fourth to work?
Well I am 18 years old. And I have proof of an oral agreement, My dad talked about it with my mom, so shes proof that there was an oral agreement. I paid my dad each month through a bank account, so I have bank statments each month that says there was $ 110 put in the bank each month.And before i got my car, my dad said breifly dont let anyone drive it. But he never fully enforced it. I was falling asleep at the wheel so I let him drive so we could get back home safely.
Any if you knew my dad, hes pretty much a dead beat. He barely pays child support and doesnt think he has to. I think he pays about $ 75 a month for me and he makes about 100,000 a year...so yeah i am sueing my dad and i have a right too. He is stubborn.

First off, you don't tell us how you are. If you're under 18, you've got nothing.
Second, if he goes to court and says there was no oral agreement, I just let her have the car, that's the end of it. So you really have no case either way. And I'm sure there's a lot more to the story about the boyfriend driving that you're not telling us. If you want to give us teh whole story, feel free to add on.
Hope this helps.

You are going to sue your father? After reading the facts the judge will laugh you out of court.
