Of the money that he's promised to send you, what percentage of the sale price is it? Have you set a time limit on his payment plan?

He is not driving it, it is in the shop..thats why he dont want to lose it, he just recently put it in the shop, He is sending extra money for the insurance, I have added him to my insurance, after he pays it off then he will get the title, until then it will insured under my name with his name added to it,
Its an 88 jeep cherokee laredo, So Im selling it for $1,000 payments are going to be $200 a month plus extra for the insurance
It only has liability on it, too old of a jeep for full coverage
Yes my old plates are on it, but thats ok
Its a good jeep with lots of life left in it. He got himself a good deal.
So today after work Im going to western union to pick up my first payment..

I hope that he's a GOOD driver and doesn't get into any accidents while on your insurance policy. How old is he?

My brother didnt get the amount back on his taxes like he said he would.
So I told him I was willing to work with him on payments,
Here is my dilemna, he hasnt contacted me on payments, made no effort to talk to me about the jeep.
So I told my mom I was going out there to kansas in 2 weeks to get my jeep. My mom said oh your brother is having the jeep fixed and he is going to charge you. I told her Im not paying for anything he had done to the jeep. We had an agreement and he didnt contact me about the jeep. I was willing to work with him but he hasnt made one payment. Im bringing a trailer to hook to the back of my jeep and taking that one back.
Business is business and Im not going to give it away for free, I worked hard to buy that jeep so I wont give it away.
Its not my job to contact my brother, he needs to contact me.
Deal is a deal.
Two words......... DOWN PAYMENT!

Mixing business with family is a bad idea. You should of sold it to your neighbor & told your mom & brother you gave your word to you neighbor. Nothing wrong with a lil white lie. I got a feeling if you take the jeep back & dont pay for the repairs you & your brother will be on the outs for awhile.
Good-luck !

My genuine sympathies to OP -- I think you are totally justified and correct in your decision. Someone happening to be your "family" doesn't give them an excuse or justification to abuse you.

^^^^ Referencing bolded portions above:

Not to go OT or anything here, but wow, the jeep was originally purchased in 1988?? That's totally amazing jeepgirl -- lol, what's your incredible secret there for having your jeep last in workable shape that long?
