For $200 on a $1200 sale, UNLESS you stated it had a clear title in your name before hand, I would have just signed the blank one and gave him a bill of sale. I have never paid for the title transfer when I sold any vehicles it is the buyers responsibility. Dealers do it all the time, our titles can go thru 3 parties before final recording (there are three places on the back for signature transfer). Thanks for posting its a good lesson learned on what to state and negotiate during the sale.
