Do i have a case for small claims?:
*shakes head in disbelief*  Why do people answer questions when they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about?

Don't bother consulting a lawyer on this one.  It would cost you too much.  This is exactly what small claims is designed for -- someone like you with a case small enough that lawyers should not be involved.

Sue.  On the complaint, spell out the facts of your case and then ask for alternative relief.  Meaning -- ask for the car to be put in your name.  Then put down that if the court denies you the car, that you are asking for all payments made on the car to be returned to you.  Assuming the facts as you have presented them are true, then the court will almost certainly grant you one fo these two remedies, possibly with interest.
