Garage behaving badly

    Hiya everyone have a problem and don't know what or if I can do anything bout it.
    I recently took my car to a garage to be fixed, garage owner told me would cost a lot to get it fixed and wasn't really worth doing it! I asked him what my best options he said he'd look at what he could get best money he could for it be it scrap or sell as project for apprentice mechanic to fix!
    (He quoted me 600 to 900 to fix and I was unable to afford that but he since said it would have cost 400 to fix it which would have been doable) Anyway nearly week later he comes back and said all he could get for me was a small amount for scrap value!

    I asked if he'd gotten rid of car he said it was gone (I was going to take it back and sell it myself) I took his word for it and swapped log book for money!
    It has since come to my attention that he sold car for more than double what he gave me! He had it sold before he even said it to me bout amount he would give me! I have since challenged him on this and he says I agreed on amount and nothing I can do!
    He seems to gave his ass well covered but he did say he got amount for scrappage! Do I have any law against him at all! Or should I let it go I dont know what to do I never signed log book either so I'm assuming he'd have needed my signature on it to sell it forward?

    Can anyone advise! I'm just really pissed off that he took advantage of a vulnerable situation to make a profit!
    He quoted me 600 to 900 to fix and I was unable to afford that but he since said it would have cost 400 to fix it which would have been doable) am I wasting my time fighting this?
