Getting the guy in court? Zero. You couldn’t sell it right now PERIOD because you don’t have title. The real risk you have is that the car was stolen and the guy who sold it to you was “washing the title” (or sometimes “floating”).
Police will run a report on the VIN and see what they come up with. I don’t see many ways this works out favorably for you, unfortunately. If the name on the title is legit, that’s the owner, and your best hope is he never actually transferred title to the “other guy,” but then may realize he has you over a barrel to sign over the title.
Like I said, no great outcomes here. Stinks, don’t mean to dump on the situation, but it just isn’t good.
