My son purchased a vehicle from Musa Idris on 05/12/2025 after finding the vehicle on facebook marketplace. Mr. Idris was asking $1700 cash for the vehicle, my son offered him $1400.00 cash and Mr. Idris accepted, with a $300 additional tax tag and title fee that was agreed upon to be paid the following week. This was sent via Venmo per Mr. Idris on 05/25/2025 to process the tag and title. The vehicle needed $3000.00 in repairs and sat due to that until completion. On 08/19/2025, I reached out directly via text message to inquire about the tag that never came in the mail nor the title. Mr. Idris was extremely rude and said that the tax tag and title fee was never received, I then sent a screen shot from Venmo to him directly. His story instantly changed from the first exchange, he said that the $300.00 was NOT towards the tax tag and title fee but towards the remainder on the car (there was no remainder, he agreed to $1400 cash for the vehicle with a $300 fee for the tax tag and title fee). I explained that was false information, and he told me that he was as smart as I was and wanted me to know who I was dealing with. After going back and forth via text message, I was told that I was then lying and that I could pick up my title that same week. The first attempt was on 08/21/2025 he gave me a one hour window from 6 pm to 7 pm to pick it up after stating in the previous text message the availability was from 10-4 on Thursday. I could not make it down that late and we agreed upon the following day 08/22/2025. I drove to pick it up, upon arrival he was VERY confrontational and got into a verbal altercation with me in front of my 18 year old son and told me that he would make sure I would not be able to register the vehicle. Fast forward to 09/11/2025, I went to the tag office with the title and bill of sale in hand to get the vehicle registered since the repairs were completed. The tag office told me that the "dealership" he runs is LEGALLY required to submit it electronically because they are not EDR exempt and that I could basically reach out to file a complaint with the state of GA, which I did or seek legal action. I reached out to Mr. Idris to explain the situtaion to which he again asked for more money for the tax tag and title fee that had already been paid. I explained I would not be paying a secondary time for something that had already been paid and that he failed to do as a business that is legally required in GA. He changed his story for a second time saying that my son only paid $1100.00 in cash and that $300 was towards the total of $1400.00. Another lie, my son counted the cash out in front of his camera and with me as a witness for a total of $1400.00 and it is even written on the bill of sale in his handwriting $1400.00 paid cash. I told him I would seek legal action if necessary but again was giving him the opportunity to do the right thing to which he declined and told me to have my attorney contact him. This is insanity over a $1400 car that needed $3000 in repairs when he said it only needed one missing motor mount. This man is a LIAR, A TERRIBLE BUSINESS OWNER, A DOWN RIGHT NASTY HUMAN BEING. Save your money and take it to a reputable business that doesn't try to extort you for additional money when they failed to do their legal requirements. read more
