Why did you pay them!?!? You aren't getting a dime back. The fact is they had no claim, you signed for the car he signed for your loan and your car. End of story. I had a similar situation happen with my house, the sellers wanted to keep the mineral rights but improperly worded it in the sellers disclosure making it sound like they didn't have the mineral rights. It turned out they didn't even know if they did. When the contract went through they neglected to check for the amendment to the deed to sever the mineral rights.
Flash forward to 6 months later and their realtor starts calling me wanting me to "hold to my word" on leaving the mineral rights to them. I told them I had no idea that they even had the rights to begin with, which materially changed the deal. So without proper representation and a lawyer paid for by either them or the sellers, I wouldn't even consider sitting back down and talking about the situation. The short of it was, the contract was signed, they had no leg to stand on. All it took me was about 3 hours of sitting at the records building in downtown to determine I had the rights.
You should always read what you sign and know where you stand in a deal. That way you don't get pushed around over someone else's negligence.
