As I'm sure you've figured out by now, NEVER sell ANY car part with payments. If they/you want it bad enough, save up!
As per your current predicament, unless you guys wrote up a contract signed by both parties, YOU have no legal leg to stand on. You just may have to go ahead and sell it, pay him his 'deposit', and deal with his immature animosity. You might even consider going to the police to at least make them aware of any physical threats to you if he so chooses that route. No matter what, from now on, any contact/conversation you have with him, YOU should a witness with you. No matter what, stay cool calm and collected and just state your intentions. "Pay the balance by (date) or I sell it for cash after which you will be paid back your deposit in cash". He also owes YOU interest on YOUR money that you could have used if the engine had been paid for in full, even's out I'd say.

I can't remember the whole deal but a buddy of mine had to give back a deposit plus interest that should have been charged on a car. The deal was that once an agreement is made to accept an installment of the sale price that interest from the seller should be charged. In the event the seller is going to return the funds, the interest should be included. However, I think he is assuming that the interest in this case would be like a savings. You could actually due the math and write it up that the money you have is the total of the hold plus interest on the installment payment.
Best advice, consult local legal council to get advice on the deal.
Whatever interest he wants, double it for storage of the engine :roll:
Any contract was voided after the end of the first month IMO when he didn't
Fulfill his obligation :!:
In a lot of cases he would have LOST his deposit anyway.
Seems to me,You have been more than fair!

Interest from the seller for financing a motor that he can't pay for. LMAO
I'd tell him to pay me by end of the month or he looses his deposit!
Almost sounds like he's been waiting to pull some kinda of bs on you anyway.

If he said he would pay by the end of the month, HE is the one who voided the original agreement by not paying by the agreed time. Tell him to pound sand. Ask him what he would do in a reverse position

He has no entitlement to anything, period. Unless your a really nice guy then he is entitled to get his deposit back. But most of the time when you buy something the deposit is non refundable unless agreed upon prior.
You could be a douche and not give him a penny back and have to deal with his threats and BS.
Or you could give him his money back and never have to hear from him again.
I had someone try to run a scam on me like this, he gave me $500 deposit for a supercharger then never showed up to pick it up. Then like 6 months later a guy calls me and tells me he was the guys friend and needed to pick up the $500 to post bail for him. I told him there was no way I was giving someones "friend" $500. He could come and get it from me when he got out of jail. I never heard from him again.

I would to, but I would explain to this guy that I have lost a sale to someone else because he didn't pay me like he was suppose to. He is the one that did not keep his word not the seller.
I'm not sure if I would give him all his money back. It would depend on his attitude. If he got shitty with me I'd keep his dep!
