For something of that scope and depth, you'd be best off contacting attorneys on your own. You could use the Find-a-Lawyer tab above, or conduct your own independent searches. An attorney would probably want to thoroughly review the lease and discuss it with you, while the format here is... Read more »

If they fail to do so can I use my copy of bill of sale to get my car back if they did not pay according to our agreement via text, bill of sale, and verbally
No. The car is gone. Why? Because the title to the car now proves the car belongs to the person you think you sold it to; the signed promissory note merely will allow you to sue them for the money they owe. Why on earth did you give them a good title?

Unless West Virginia is way behind the times you should know that the use of unrecorded land contracts (a/k/a contracts for deed) for the sale of land owned free and clear are getting more and more rare--probably because the land buyers of today are becoming smarter and smarter.
