ILLINOIS — Sold a 2002 Toyota Sequoia yesterday to a guy from Marketplace for $1700, disclosed all the issues I knew of and sent the buyer more than enough photos of everything. He came to my house, inspected the vehicle, handed over the cash, I signed the title and gave it to him. I helped him load it on the trailer and he left. I have records of the cash going into my bank account.

The next day he messages me very upset about how the frame is rotted beyond repair and wants me to take the car back and return his money. I unfortunately did not have a bill of sale (but do have written agreement to buy the vehicle in text messages) along with screenshots that I disclosed issues, made an offer and he accepted, etc. Illinois private party used car sales are as-is with no warranty.

Am I under any obligation to do anything for him? He claims he is going to drop the vehicle at my house with the title and take me to court for the money. I absolutely should’ve had a bill of sale and made him sign the title in front of me but I dropped the ball on that one.

I’ve been freaking out about this all day and had a panic attack on my lunch break. Really would like some clarification.
