your friend is fucked. He doesn't have to pay for the engine or the car fucking up because it is implied sold as-is. but if the guy wont give him the title, and there was no notarized signed agreement and no paper trail it is just hear-say. the registration is meaningless, its still in the other guys name because its only been registered to him and you cant apply for a new title since it is still in his name.
basically at this point, if he was to call the police, your friend would have to surrender the car to him if he couldn't produce any paperwork stating there was a transaction and outlining the specifics of the sale.
its basically only good as a parts car now. if your friend was a dick he could part it and then leave it somewhere and have it impounded. at which point all the fees and such would be assessed to the other guy, and if he didnt pay them the impound yard would suspend his license granted your friend hasn't signed a bill of sale or the like and he has possession of it still.

part it then park it in a deed restricted community, after like a month, they fine the owner 100 bucks a day until its gone

well everyone has there opinion, but little did he know until today, he can sue the other guy for the title, he signed a written agreement to it that they are trading cars, contacted 4 good lawyers around the tampa area with free consultation and all said he cant do anything to him because the car was sold as is, since he is not a dealer everything that happens to the car on his hands is his problem. as for the title all 4 lawyers were willing to represent him and said that he can win very easily.

is it notarized?
are there any other witnesses?
the burden of proof will be upon your friend. the defense will say the name is forged, etc etc, since i know this kid didn't get it notarized.
and what does a lawyer with a free consult have to do with anything? how does that make them "good". As far as i knew, every lawyer has to give a free initial consult.
basically, your little buddy is going to be paying...lawyer fees, court costs, expert witness fees, etc etc. and by the sounds of the cars involved, the court expenses for him to sue for the title are going to exceed the cost of the car in question dramatically, and still may not get the title.

everything everyone is saying makes sense in a way. just more then 90% of the advice we have gotten from cops, attorney etc...have said that the title can be easily awarded to my friend and that the car is his and cannot be released back to the previous because of the written agreement nor report it stolen because they actually initiated a "trade" which he has other proof of but we will just see what happens in a few weeks will keep you guys posted thanks for all your info!

well like i said, burden of proof is on him. everything you have said so far is mostly hear-say and wont stand up in court to even a shitty defense attorney.
