I recently traded my car for another car.
Today the previous owner called me demanding he needed the car back because now that he put the car on a lift, he see's some stuff he is not happy about and says we "have" to trade back.

He states that legally he can get the car back because I have not yet sent the title off, and because the name on the front of the title, is still HIS name and address, not mine.

He also states that because I had my title notarized BEFORE I met up with him, that mine is not valid, and that the notary who did mine broke the law, because he/she has to see HIM when I sign it over. But I don't understand how that is true, because cant I get the title notarized as a seller, and then just keep hold of it, so in the future, when/if I decide to get rid of the car, its already notarized?

My title was notarized, then signed by ME as the seller, then signed y him as the buyer. As his title was notarized, signed by him as the seller, and then signed by me as the buyer.

Can he legally get the car back? Thanks everyone. This will be a HUGE help.
