A vendor, having transferred possession of a car to a buyer under an agreement allowing the buyer to acquire full title upon full payment, subsequently sued the buyer for the unpaid balance, seeking repossession of the vehicle as the stipulated penalty for non-payment, but the appellate court correctly denied this request because the retention of title clause only granted the seller the right to demand payment or utilize other legal recourse for debt recovery, not to unilaterally reclaim the property after transfer of possession based solely on non-payment, which amounted to an improper forfeiture penalty.
